By upgrading to Mercer WIN | Advanced, users can house their benchmark results and analyses all in a single place.

“In discussions with our clients about how to take the successful introduction of Mercer WIN to the next level, we heard the need for blending their organizational data with Mercer and other market sources to create a more rich set of analyses and reporting capabilities,” said Teri Zipper, Head of Software Strategy for Mercer’s Information Product and Solutions business. “We designed Mercer WIN | Advanced around this feedback, and the initial client reaction has been extremely positive.”

“HR decision makers need to be strategically focused on solving key business issues, backed by fact-based information and insights,” said Ilya Bonic, Global Leader of Mercer’s Information Products and Solutions business. “This crucial role is made far more difficult to accomplish with data spread across multiple markets, systems and spreadsheets.
