  • ProBusiness and PeopleSoft

    In a transaction involving two companies headquartered in Hacienda, ProBusiness Services has completed the certification of its tax and W-2 interfaces for PeopleSoft 8.3. These interfaces allow ProBusiness to provide national tax deposit and filing services to companies who utilize PeopleSoft's Payroll for North America software. ProBusiness, which has been serving PeopleSoft payroll users since 1998, is one of the first payroll outsourcing services providers to be certified for the latest version of PeopleSoft's product. "Through utilization of the ProBusiness interface, companies using PeopleSoft's payroll solution can outsource their payroll tax payment and reporting business process, and allow experts like ProBusiness to manage the risk and complexity of payroll tax filing," says Jenni Lehman, vice president of Human Capital Management Product Strategy at PeopleSoft.
