ProBusiness Services, Inc., a leading provider of outsourced employee administrative services, has formed a strategic partnership with PDS, a developer of client/server Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS). This partnership enables both companies to strengthen their products and services by leveraging each other's areas of expertise. The partnership aims to provide seamless integration between PDS' web-deployable HRMS, Vista, and ProBusiness' PC-based tax filing service, PowerTax.
