Human Resources Needs HRIS - HRMS

Human Resources plays a critical role in any workplace and has a whole lot more to keep track of than most Non-HR folks could imagine. HR is there from the start when recruiting efforts are being made to fill positions throughout the workplace and assisting departmental managers in choosing qualified candidates. HR manages the hiring of staff, ensuring that legal compliance issues are being adhered to, benefits are started and assisting the new staff member in becoming part of the organizational family. Many HR departments are intimately involved with tracking staff training and certifications. Inevitably Leave & Attendance issues also fall onto HR shoulders. HR is there when there is a need to handle disciplinary issues or grievances in a discreet and professional manner as well. To put it shortly, HR is involved in nearly every facet of an Employee's life within the workplace.

With so much information to manage and keep track of, what HR Department couldn't use an HRIS (Human Resources Information System)? The role of HRIS in HR is to securely manage HR data and streamline HR processes making it easier to retrieve data and generate required reports. Many smaller businesses find themselves managing employee data in Excel spreadsheets. This becomes inadequate very quickly when trying to manage different related information such as job/compensation history, training management, benefits elections etc.

Having been written in Microsoft Office Access 2007, the HR Data Manager software was designed to meet the data tracking and reporting needs of HR Departments both large and small. With full source code available, the software is fully customizable and either your programmers or ours can make it do exactly what you need it to do.

Tough Times Call for Smart Solutions

In a previous post from last year I had mentioned a Manager that I once worked for that insisted that everything implemented be expensive Enterprise level solutions... even if only four people were ever going to use the software.

Times have changed. Mid to large sized companies are now looking for smart solutions that will not break their limited budgets. Enterprise HR systems like SAP, Oracle, and PeopleSoft (Oracle) can be extremely expensive to purchase and have high costs associated with keeping them going. Developing an HR Solution in house is also very costly and time consuming.

Many are looking for the best of both worlds when it comes to in house development by purchasing a Fully Customizable HRIS / HRMS software system that they can modify and build upon.

The HR Data Manager (http://www.hrdatamanager.com/) software's Full Source Edition comes with all source code and files. Written in Microsoft Access with the programming in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), the software is perfect for Small Businesses wanting to use it on a single workstation. At the same time, with its full compatibility with Microsoft SQL Server as a backend data source, it is scaleable and perfect for large organizations as well. Best of all it can be tweaked to meet your unique needs either by the programmers at HR Data Manager or your own programmers or in house MS Access power user. Did I mention that it costs under a thousand dollars?

The HR Data Manager includes Applicant Tracking, Employee Records, Performance Appraisal Management, Training Records, Benefit Management, Job Descriptions and much more.

Why Buy Access 2007 - Revisited

I know we have covered the subject of why it is beneficial to buy Microsoft Access 2007 instead of using the runtime version before, but there is good reason to bring it up again.

One of the great features in the new 3.15 version of the HR Data Manager is the Ad-Hoc Pivot Table reports. The runtime (Free) version of Microsoft Access does not have all the menu options and right mouse click menu that the purchased version has. Users of the runtime version of Access can still use the Pivot Table reports, but at a much less powerful level.

With the purchased version of Microsoft Access, users can show/hide detail which is great for seeing just counts, sums, averages etc. without the detailed information. They also have nearly unlimited control over how to manipulate the view of the data.

While the HR Data Manager software does not require the purchased version of Microsoft Access 2007, the user experience is much richer and more powerful with it.

Thank you - HR Data Manager Development Team
