Aspire HR Celebrates 10th Anniversary

Dallas, TX (May 15, 2008) -- Aspire HR, the largest boutique firm dedicated to SAP HR solutions, has recently reached a milestone by celebrating its 10th anniversary.

"Our tenth anniversary is a tremendous achievement for the firm,” said Joseph Hillesheim, Founding Partner and President of Aspire HR. “Over the past ten years we have established ourselves as a leader in the SAP HR marketplace by providing a wide range of services and software solutions. We have built an impressive roster of clients by combining cost-effective SAP HR implementations, an innovative approach to HCM technology, and excellent customer service."

The firm was started in 1998 by Hillesheim who had a vision for a different kind of consulting organization that actually delivered real value for its clients and met its commitments. Hillesheim had worked as a “Big 5” SAP consultant, saw how clients struggled through the implementation of their projects, and came to the conclusion that there had to be a better way. He saw an opportunity for a firm that specialized in SAP HR implementations. So, he struck out on his own, gathered together like-minded consultants who shared his passion for making an impact and founded Aspire HR.

In the early years, Hillesheim made a significant investment in developing complete packaged software solutions to reduce the project risks and time spent on complex technical development on implementation projects. Hillesheim saw the tremendous value of this approach for his clients.

Today, the company offers a wide range of software solutions addressing a variety of SAP HR technology issues including full legacy historical data conversion. Beyond software, Aspire HR has also revolutionized the models used to deliver SAP implementation services. Hillesheim envisioned a model where senior SAP consultants were centralized and were provided with every version of SAP used to build client solutions. This vision evolved into the firm’s Dallas Delivery Center of Excellence (DDCE). Today, the DDCE allows Aspire HR to react quicker to the clients’ needs and has created an environment where clients actively benefit from the latest innovations in HR technology.

Over the course of the past ten years, Aspire HR has become a major player in the HCM technology industry. As the largest SAP partner focused exclusively on the needs of the HR marketplace, the company has demonstrated its ability to bring experience and innovation to its clients. At the same time it has built a team of professionals who are able to bring a depth of experience and a wealth of expertise to all of the firm’s endeavors.

"Our talent is one of our major assets," said Jason Anderson, the firm’s Managing Partner. "We believe that we have created an unmatched team of experts who can address the sophisticated and intricate needs of our client base. Our approach of doing business 'the right way' has resonated with like-minded consultants and enabled us to attract and retain some of the most highly sought after talent in the world and enabled Aspire HR to distinguish itself in the industry."

Having recently relocated to a new corporate headquarters in Plano, Texas, the company has enjoyed major growth in the past three years. The new headquarters location also serves as the home for the DDCE. And, the firm has offices in London, Dubai, and Melbourne.
