VitalSpring and Aspire HR Sign Joint Marketing Agreement

Alliance Focuses on the Sale and Deployment of VitalSpring’s SAP Composite Application, “Health Benefits Management for ERP”

VitalSpring Technologies, the innovator in health benefits performance software, and Aspire HR, Inc., the leader in SAP HR implementation services and software, today announced that the companies have signed a joint marketing agreement that focuses on the sale and deployment of the VitalSpring SAP composite application, Health Benefits Management for ERP.

 

As part of this alliance, both companies outlined specific sales and marketing plans geared to generating new clients for the VitalSpring solution for which Aspire HR, Inc. would then handle the installation and deployment.

 

Health Benefits Management for ERP by VitalSpring links information from a company’s internal mySAP ERP system with information from external systems related to medical claims, pharmacy claims and other benefits costs – enabling senior management to identify and analyze specific drivers of healthcare costs across the enterprise.

 

VitalSpring is one of the few independent software vendors that have achieved the status of SAP Endorsed Business Solution. Aspire HR is recognized by SAP as a Services Partner, an exclusive partner distinction reserved for elite-level providers.

 

“I am delighted to form this alliance with the leader in SAP HCM implementations,” said Sreedhar Potarazu, President and CEO, VitalSpring. “Their unmatched expertise in simplifying the SAP HCM deployment cycle will be a tremendous asset to us as VitalSpring gains rapid adoption of our SAP application addressing healthcare costs. With deep functional and technical SAP experience gained through its impressive list of Fortune 500 implementations, I am confident that their VitalSpring installations will be seamless, timely and highly successful.”

 

“As spiraling health benefits costs continue to plague corporate America, the VitalSpring technology is essential for SAP clients to face this challenge head on,” said Joseph Hillesheim, Managing Partner and Founder, Aspire HR, Inc. “The combination of the VitalSpring software and our unsurpassed experience in implementing such technologies within SAP HCM brings the optimal solution to this national crisis.”

 

Both VitalSpring and Aspire HR have dedicated a senior staff executive to coordinate both marketing and implementation activities defined in the Agreement. The companies plan to jointly participate in HR-related trade shows, conferences, webcasts, and other lead generation events.
