Case Study: Securex achieves lower costs and faster centralized payroll reporting with Information Builders' WebFOCUS

Securex Helps Small Businesses Manage Personnel and Payroll Requirements

Securex, a Belgium-based social‑services management firm serving 26,000 clients (73% with fewer than five employees), faced the challenge of helping small businesses comply with Belgium’s complex and constantly changing payroll and personnel regulations—an area many small firms cannot staff with in‑house specialists.

Securex launched Magistral ASP, a thin‑client, web‑based self‑service HR and payroll application that uses Information Builders’ WebFOCUS for built‑in reporting and ad‑hoc BI. Hosted centrally and accessed via VPN, the solution consolidated data, eliminated CD distribution, reduced maintenance costs, sped up reporting (FNAC saved three days on consolidated reports across six branches supporting 800 employees), lowered client software costs, and freed Securex staff to focus on customer support.
