Ramco's HCM solution is a cloud-based platform offering which includes modules and features to support the full employee lifecycle (hire to retire), including:
- Core HR
- Recruiting
- Employee Benefits
- Talent Management
- Time and Attendance
- Payroll
Ramco HCM's cloud-based (SaaS) platform has been built organically on a single database and single code line, and modules are integrated across the platform. It offers its cloud solution as a multitenant offering and can provide both public and private cloud options. It is also enabled with prebuilt connectors and integrations, which can be developed based on client demand.
Ramco offers its HCM platform as an on-premise installed option; currently, ~48% of clients have selected the on-premise version. However, this is gradually shrinking as more clients are moving toward the cloud version. Clients selecting the on-premise solution tend to be larger enterprise clients with >10k employees.
Ramco's HCM platform offering is flexible, allowing for modules to be selected separately or in bundles, however, core HR is required to adopt the other modules of Ramco HCM. Its most adopted and deployed modules include core HR, payroll, benefits, and time and attendance, with demand increasing for its recruiting and talent management modules.
Beyond HCM, Ramco offers extended offerings including ERP, aviation software, logistics software, and asset management software. It also offers extended managed HR and payroll services to complement its HCM technology offering; ~20% of its HCM clients also adopt its managed services.
