Western Union and IRIS Team Up to Offer Global Payroll Services

IRIS Software Group and Western Union Business Solutions has teamed up to provide simplified global payroll and payment solutions worldwide.

This international partnership will span five years as it aims to meet growing demand for international cross-border currency payments and payroll, particularly for organizations with a global workforce.

The demand for for more integrated payroll solutions is increasing every day, as the current payroll solutions can not handle all the payroll demands. This partnership will bring about a more integrated payroll solution that will not only handle salaries but covers HR, finance and other vital business operations on global scale.
