For the eighth consecutive year, they made
Training Magazine’s Top 125 for 2014. Their
“green” initiative, which helped the company
earn a Newmarket Chamber of Commerce
Business Excellence Award this year, is one
way Allied Global continues to look to the fu-
ture. They encourage employees to car pool,
take public transit or cycle to work when pos-
sible, limit the use of paper and printers, and
reduced their electricity useable by 50 percent
by changing office lighting. They also adopted a
new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system
called Workday, a cloud-based application for
managing human resources and finance. They
were the first company within Workday’s cus-
tomer base that implemented both financial
and human capital management on a global
scale at one time, Rae said.
Allied Global’s future also includes plans for
expansion. The Philippines operation, which
opened in January 2013, outgrew its first loca-
tion and moved to larger premises in October
2014. Other opportunities for growth are be-
ing considered in South or Central America and
a few Caribbean locations, Rae said, which the
company will begin exploring in mid-2015.
