Client Overview

Royal Cyber Inc. is a global IT services and consulting firm, renowned for delivering innovative digital transformation solutions across industries. With a workforce of over 1,300 employees, the organization operates across multiple regions and departments, requiring a unified and scalable approach to manage its complex HR operations.

Together, they implemented and fully customized the Zoho People HRMS platformtailored to meet the organization’s specific requirements around employee lifecycle management, compliance, workflow automation, and real-time insights.
