3CLogic Elevates the Patient and Employee Experience at North Mississippi Health Services
3CLogic, the Maryland-based provider of a voice-enabling cloud contact center solution, announced the recent selection of its platform by North Mississippi Health Services (NMHS), among the largest providers of healthcare services in Mississippi through its network of 45 primary and specialty clinics and hospitals. The technology partnership will support NMHS’s commitment to quality care and speed of service to both its 7,200 employees and more than 730,000 patients across 24 counties.

Relying on ServiceNow IT Service Management (ITSM) as its primary record system to manage IT requests, NMHS needed an engagement solution capable of leveraging ServiceNow data and workflows to deliver catered experiences to employees and patients. The ability to manage common administrative tasks via a low-code no-code offering was equally key, as was the ability to integrate patient and employee interaction metrics with ServiceNow to allow for a consolidated analytical view of daily operations.
“Our Information Technology Services department focuses on delivering service to employees and patients that exceeds industry standards,” explains Dr. Chris Davis, NMHS chief information officer. “Our vision is to provide the best patient-and family-centered care in America, and our mission is to continuously improve the health of the people of our region. Selecting 3CLogic helps achieve this by keeping us well-connected to our patients and their families as well as our employees.”

Explorance Teams Up with KLAR Partners
Canadian journey analytics provider Explorance has been appointed by KLAR Partners, a midmarket private equity firm based in London and Stockholm, to provide a 360-degree performance evaluation system on talent development.
“We aspire to be the best private equity firm in Europe and, to achieve that, the process must start with our people, who we believe are our most important asset,” explains Daniel Alsen, head of digital and tech at KLAR. “To succeed you must attract and develop the best talent.”
Alsen adds that Explorance offers a tool flexible enough to adapt to the organizational requirements of KLAR, and does not limit the company or put it in a hierarchical process abhorrent to the firm.
Founded in 2020, KLAR Partners specializes in investing in business services and industrial technology sectors of the Nordic, Benelux, and DACH regions. The organization focuses on acquiring controlling stakes in businesses that offer critical products and services, working closely with management to establish robust and sustainable market leaders.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Helps New Zealand’s Silver Fern Farms
Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) is helping Silver Fern Farms, a prominent sustainable grass-fed meat processor in New Zealand, to deliver on its people strategy and improve the company’s employee experience (EX).
Founded in 1948, Silver Fern Farms exports $2.5 billion worth of meat annually to more than 60 countries. With more than 7,000 employees, the company sought a unified platform to give employees across different locations access to shared information. The platform would also enable management to engage more efficiently with the workers, helping them improve their skills and expand career development opportunities.
However, the company operated disparate homegrown tools that did not integrate with other systems, says Matt Ballard, chief people officer at Silver Fern Farms, which meant payroll, recruitment, and talent development required high levels of manual intervention. The HR team also spent a significant amount of time verifying and managing data, instead of engaging with employees and helping them enhance their performance.
“Oracle Cloud HCM’s capabilities provided us with a central repository that allowed our employees and leaders to easily access information while reducing the time spent on manual intervention,” Ballard remarks.
Additionally, Oracle Cloud HCM has enabled Silver Fern Farms to streamline and reduce its annual review cycle of workforce remuneration from several weeks down to 10 days. It has improved employee engagement by more than 60% compared to the same period last year. The solution has also provided the scalability and real-time data needed to support business and leadership decisions made by farm executives.
