In an exceptional industry move, the Unlimited Titans, arguably South Africa’s most dominant cricket franchise in the first 13 years of the new millennium, partnered with Sage VIP HR & Payroll, a leading developer and implementer of HR and payroll management software, to implement a new software system for personnel performance management.
According to Jacques Faul, CEO of the Unlimited Titans, the move was initiated in order to take sport administration to a new level of efficiency by implementing best practices from the corporate world in a scientific manner.
“The administrative personnel, the board, the coaches and the players will be assessed according to key performance indicators,” he said
“In sport administration, players, management and even the board can be adversely affected by a work culture dominated by off the field challenges.
“Eventually that will influence the bottom line. Players’ performances on the field and financial sustainability off it will suffer if the work culture is not conducive to stimulate a winning culture,” continued Faul.

“Sage VIP is passionate about South African sport. We are proud to partner with the Unlimited Titans to provide them with a world-class performance management system to help them achieve their goal of managing their employees successfully. More than 5 000 companies use our Sage VIP performance management systems annually,” said Anton van Heerden, managing director of Sage VIP HR & Payroll.
Faul said he believed work culture can be systematically improved by an independent performance appraisal system which measures the effectiveness and work-ethic of each employee and gives them annual feedback.
It has been scientifically proven that production increases dramatically when the work culture of an administration is healthy.
“Ultimately our purpose for partnering with Sage VIP is to create an environment conducive to excellence in administration and player performance.
“We also wish to offer confidence to sponsors and commercial partners and consistently improve corporate governance,” said Faul.
