“Our roots are in payroll, and we are well known for it in the industry. But over the course of our 40 year-history, we’ve grown our product offerings,” says Gioja. Paychex is expanding further into the HR, employee benefits, and business services space. The company now offers retirement services, business and health insurance, hiring and applicant tracking, HR services, accounting online, and payment processing, to name just a few. “While the SMB market is our sweet spot, our offerings can also meet the needs of organizations in excess of 1,000 employees,” he adds.
Moving forward, one of the areas Paychex wants to focus on is continuous delivery. “Our goal is to create foundational infrastructure and platform solutions that allow self-service for our developers, test, and operations organization, enabling us to receive quick feedback, and reduce our time to release features, enhancements, and fixes,” says Gioja. In addition, consumerization of IT is driving the design of Paychex’s user interface. “We’re designing our UI to be a positive user experience that fits the needs of administrators and employees,” concludes Gioja.
