When asked what it meant to have been recognised, Edward was keen to highlight what he believes are the reasons behind their success. “Winning an award such as this validates the hard work and technical excellence of our people. There is an immense sense of satisfaction for a job well done that is not only appreciated by customers globally, but also recognised by industry peers and associations. ASL’s success has been driven, in large part, over the last 29 years by listening intently and responding to customers. It has also benefited from monitoring technical, industry and legislative changes.” The Human Capital Software industry globally is mature with many entrenched, established, vendors providing a variety of solutions for all sizes of companies and organisations. There are large ERP and Payroll vendors that include Human Capital solutions within their offerings to round-out their solutions. Other companies, like ASL, focus solely on Human Capital software and services and have deep domain-specific expertise accumulated over many decades. New technology has always been disruptive in this industry and with the focus on Artificial Intelligence, Predictive Analytics, Robotic Process Automation and more, dramatic change is now the norm and not the exception. Looking ahead to what the future holds for the firm, Edward signs off by revealing how the team at ASL intend to make the most of their success and grow further. “ASL is focused on the future and has been infusing many new technologies into its solutions suite. Our intent is to create solutions that not only capture and manage information but provide intelligence and actionable insights for Human Resources teams and the organisation’s leadership.” “ASL’s success has been driven, in large part, over the last 29 years by listening intently and responding to customers.
