Deloitte Tax LLP has officially signed off on an alliance with Equus Software, a leader in global workforce mobility technology, to rethink the overarching ideology surrounding global mobility programs.
According to certain reports, the stated alliance follows up on a successful 15-year relationship between Equus and the Global Employer Services (GES) practice of Deloitte Tax, thus expanding both organizations’ capabilities to better support multinational companies that are currently up against severe workforce mobility challenges.
“We are excited to expand our relationship with Deloitte through this strategic alliance,” said Tyler Reynolds, CEO of Equus Software. “Combining our innovative technology with Deloitte’s unparalleled leadership in global mobility will empower organizations to manage their international workforces more efficiently and effectively, driving greater success and compliance in an increasingly complex global regulatory environment.”
To understand the significance of such a development, we must take into account how the history attached with global mobility programs has consistently suffered from complex, risky, and disruptive dynamics for both employers and employees. The same, for instance, is evident in how international organizations often have to face a slew of regulatory, tax, and compliance challenges when taking their business abroad.
Despite such an uncertain landscape, though, many still handle compliance, data management, and country-specific reporting requirements using a manual mechanism or without fully leveraging modern technology.
In response, the partnership in question will connect Deloitte’s premier global mobility capabilities with Equus’ advanced technology to create the opportunity for a transformative mobility management experience.
“Deloitte’s alliance with Equus represents a significant step forward in our ability to deliver new, innovative and effective mobility solutions to our clients,” said Edward Hannibal, GES alliance leader, Deloitte Tax LLP. “By combining our strengths and offering scalable, customer-focused solutions that meet the evolving needs of a global workforce, we are well-positioned to transform global mobility management and empower our clients to achieve their strategic goals.”
Talk about all what this development will try and achieve from a specific standpoint, we begin from the promise to enhance business travel services. This initiative will likely involve introducing integrations between the Equus and Deloitte platforms to offer even greater insights on business travel services and remote work.
The next objective in line relates to deploying a scaled approach for small to medium-sized programs. As locations across the board go up in numbers, smaller organizations could very well struggle in the context of keeping pace. However, fortunately enough, Deloitte and Equus will work in synergy to help organizations of any size manage their mobile workforces with ease.
Rounding up highlights would be the new alliance’s call to create brand-new end-to-end mobility services for all programs. You see, Deloitte and Equus will come bearing the means tk offer reimagined approaches, all for the purpose of streamlining processes, enhancing employee experiences, as well as providing data-driven insights to optimize all aspects concerned with mobility, right from planning and managing expenses to ensuring compliance.
Deloitte’s rise up the ranks stems from delivering industry-leading audit, consulting, tax and advisory services to many of the world’s most admired brands. The company presently banks upon its unique blend of business acumen, command of technology, and strategic alliances to advise clients across industries as they build their future.
Deloitte’s excellence in what it does can be understood once you consider it is trusted by nearly 90% of the Fortune 500® and more than 8,500 U.S.-based private companies. This is only reinforced by the company’s’ network, which spans more than 150 countries and territories.
Turning our attention towards Equus, it has its utility built around enabling organizations to simplify and optimize their mobility programs. The company’s portfolio of solutions, at the moment, focuses on optimizing compliance, expense management, tax, payroll, and data-driven decision-making.
These solutions can also integrate seamlessly with everyone from mobility teams and vendors to employees.
“This alliance is about going all in on our clients. Bringing the knowledge and experience of both our organizations together allows us to better serve all market segments and deliver an exceptional digital end-to-end mobility service to our clients,” said Peter Simeonidis, Global GES practice leader, Deloitte Tax LLP.
