How It Works

How Direct Data Exchange helps you score big

Automatic ROI calculations

In its breakthrough study, Ernst & Young found that the average cost of a single data entry performed by HR is $4.78. Multiply that by the number of employees and how often each task is required, and you have a good idea of the potential savings that come with self-managed data. And don't worry; Direct Data Exchange does the math for you.

A single software for a seamless flow

All employee data lives in and flows throughout our single database, requiring no data reentry and only one login and password. Along with eliminating costly redundant processes, this gives you an accurate reading of employees' usage and its bottom-line impact.
