Mark, please introduce yourself briefly - what do we need to know about you? And tell us about your first contact with HR Campus.
I'm Mark, a passionate Technology enthusiast and your contact person for SwissSalary. My first contact with HR Campus was like love at first sight. During an inspiring meeting with Marek, it quickly became clear that we share the same vision: to bring state-of-the-art technology combined with a pinch of fun to our customers. The culture, the spirit and the shared mindset were right from the start. We are both convinced that enthusiasm and a smile on your face are the keys to success.
In your opinion, what are the strongest arguments in favour of the SwissSalary solution and the associated modules?
SwissSalary is more than just payroll software - it is a revolution in Payroll processing. The combination of state-of-the-art technology and our exclusive focus on payroll accounting makes it unique on the market. SwissSalary is a 100% SaaS-based solution and is characterised by fast implementation and high flexibility.
The complete integration into the Microsoft ecosystem is particularly noteworthy. SwissSalary is managed by Microsoft Azure, which guarantees 24/7 support and the highest security standards. Seamless integration with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Teams and Power Automate allows you to use our services intuitively. In addition, the Microsoft AI Copilot will enrich our Payroll solutions in the near future and bring further innovations.
Where would you say the Microsoft journey is heading, especially in terms of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI)?
AI will play an even greater role in payroll accounting in the future. With Microsoft Copilot, you can make enquiries in natural language and receive immediate responses, which significantly increases efficiency and improves the precision of the work. This technology is a real game changer - it not only transforms the way we work, but also optimises processes and results. AI is becoming the driving force in a new era of payroll accounting.
You are a leader in innovation and Swissdec certifications. How do you achieve this? Could you give us an insight into the new features planned for SwissSalary?
Our strength lies in our clear focus on payroll accounting and the use of Microsoft's technology stack. This allows our Team to focus passionately on innovation and regularly offer significant improvements to our Customers.
Microsoft Copilot will certainly be one of the highlights of the current year. Further investments are being made in a 100% digital environment, such as the eProfile and the integration of digital health and accident insurance data. The Swissdec 5.3 integration is also imminent, offering new opportunities for managing teleworking for cross-border commuters.
Why would you recommend HR Campus as a partner?
HR Campus is not only the leading provider in HR Outsourcing with exceptional technical knowledge, but also an expert in the Digitization of HR and Payroll processes in Switzerland. Together, we set standards in the market by inspiring our customers with advanced technology, comprehensive expertise and personal commitment.
We would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for the exceptional collaboration!
