Lessons from AstraZeneca's global outsourcing engagement.
By Debbie Bolla
One might question the business case rationale for AstraZeneca's
recent outsourcing engagement with NorthgateArinso. The
goal: Manage more than 60,000 employees in 106 different
countries under one uniform global system. And roll it out in just
two years. The solution included comprehensive HRO services,
including payroll, workforce management, and reporting on
NorthgateArinso's euHReka platform.

As daunting as that task sounds, it turned out to be
achievable. And all the details—the good, the bad, and
the ugly—were shared at the recent HRO Today Forum
Europe in Dublin. Jenni Hardy, vice president of HR for
AstraZeneca, and Elena Schackman, EMEA service delivery
director for NorthgateArinso, took the stage to share their
experience.
