It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

The weekend began on Saturday at the Famous Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans. Every year, the hotel‘s grand lobby is transformed into a canopy of white birch branches and thousands of twinkling white lights.

The gang walked from the Roosevelt to New Orleans’ famous Antoine’s Restaurant. Established in 1840, Antoine’s is the country’s oldest family-run restaurant. Dinner was served in the Mystery Room. The Mystery Room acquired its name due to Prohibition, the  18th Amendment prohibiting the sale of alcoholic drinks (from 1919 until 1933). It covered the era of the bootlegger and the Al Capone reign of terror in Chicago.   During this time, some would go through a door in the ladies’ restroom to a secret room and exit with a coffee cup full of booze (in spite of the Blue Laws.) 

After dinner, the crew walked to Harrah’s Casino and Resort to finish up their Christmas Celebration.

♦ On behalf of the entire crew at SYGNVS, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ♦

The results are in!

Replace inefficient processes with new HR Management solutions from Sage. Stay on top of manual tasks, and enable your employees to focus on essential responsibilities.

Sage now offers Human Resource Management and Employee Web Services modules for Sage Fund Accounting. Both integrate seamlessly with your Sage Fund Accounting Payroll module and, for large organizations Sage offers Sage Abra HRMS.

Your teams will have a stronger focus on their work because:

• Your HR data integrates with payroll data so you don’t have to scramble to manually update information within two systems. Reduce errors and keep both systems current at the same time.
• Integration between your payroll and GL systems provides quick and easy HR reporting, distribution calculations, tax form population, and eFiling functionality.
• Employee data is easily and efficiently tracked— including certifications, education, and benefit calculations—so HR staff can focus on people instead of paperwork.
• Managers and employees can view, update, or print information, including timesheets, pay stubs, and W-2 details, without draining HR staff time.
• Scalable options provide your organization with the right solutions to fit your growing needs.

Lunch is on us!
