"It is a timely decision to partner with Excelity in this transformation journey as we start to build our shared services hub in this part of the region. Excelity has demonstrated their professionalism and flexibility as a regional provider of HCM solutions by presenting and recommending solutions that translate into cost-effective measures for the company. Given the proximity of both of our centers' operations, I am confident the transition and delivery will be a smooth and seamless one," said Mr Eric Tan, Regional CFO, Scholastic Asia.
