J.P. Morgan Workplace Solutions

A great solution in a complex area

Comentários: We wanted to implement a SAYE program across multiple countries working with lots of different currencies. The software works very well but the support we obtained from the implementation team was absolutely first class. We had a dedicated team who had a weekly with us as we went through implementation and also supported us with communication materials for employees.

Vantagens:

We initially engaged with an alternate supplier and quickly switched to Global Shares. We have employees in eight countries participating in an SAYE scheme and we needed a solution that would work in all those territories for both the employees and the teams that support SAYE. Global Shares was implemented quickly and smoothly and is an intuitive piece of software that people find easy to use.

Desvantagens:

I cant think immediately of any areas that need improvement

Global shares - Brilliant to work with

Comentários: We have worked closely with our reconciliation process and now maintain this regularly. The communication has also improved massively in the last 2-3 years in particular.

Vantagens:

Global shares are very efficient with our quarterly reconciliations and reporting and we have worked on making the iportal user friendly and available to all scheme participants which has proved popular.

Desvantagens:

TR 2007 SIP values are hard to calculate, therefore the value given by Global Shares is only an estimate. I dont know if this can be worked on at all in the future.

Great Service

Comentários: Excellent service provided at all times. The team in GS is friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient. Great to deal with

Vantagens:

Easy to use, all the documents are always easy to find

Desvantagens:

There is nothing that I dislike about the software

Global Shares - a good platform which helps to access and manage LTI plan(s).

Comentários: I am a user in a way that I manage my own LTI plans, but I am also responsible to manage LTI plans and grants etc. from other colleagues. Global Shares fits best.

Vantagens:

The "Look & Feel" - very good and the Global Shares team supports whenever needed.

Desvantagens:

Nothing really in particular to mention.

Best Implementation

Comentários: We have eliminated the need to account for equity grants manually. This has saved many hours when new grants are awarded and options are exercised. No more individually written and signed award agreements.

Vantagens:

I have participated in numerous software implementations. This was the most well managed and seamless implementation. The project team was top notch. This software has replaced most of our manual spreadsheet based processes.

Desvantagens:

I would like for the funding of the stock option exercises to happen through the software. Currently payment needs to be arranged manually.

Virtual Participation Program

Vantagens:

- Possibility to administrate a program that is not common within participation programs - Easy use of pulling reports - Lot opportunities to customize the webportal Easy to handle for the participants

Desvantagens:

- There is nothing bad to highlight actually

Rollout in a newly set up entity

Comentários: Very smooth roll out and exeuction

Vantagens:

Product very visual and easy to use. Roll out process very well defined and executed. Team very knowledgeable

Desvantagens:

Restricted options on how could display text for user choice tables
