YOUR PEOPLE YOUR VISION OUR SOLUTION

Technical Details

Select Web Edition is a browser based HR solution entirely written in .NET.  Using many of the technical advances found in .NET 3.5, this is software for today’s companies.

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we embrace Microsoft technology and integrate with the latest versions of Office and Exchange, while ensuring backwards compatibility also.  Based on Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and with the majority of users requiring only Internet Explorer, there is a zero client footprint for many users.  Standard integration is provided to Microsoft Outlook as well as other mail systems such as Lotus.

Workflow

Select HR’s workflow tools allow clients to build processes into the system to cater for activities such as adding new employees, booking and approving holiday etc.  Many of these workflows are provided as standard however clients have the flexibility to tailor them to reflect their own processes and to create additional ones where required.

Based upon the new Windows standard called the Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF), workflows can be quickly visualized and make use of ‘drag and drop’ for maximum ease of use.  This is an excellent way of streamlining many of the HR related processes in your organisation, reducing paper flow and informing staff across the organisation of events relevant to them.

Document Management

The document management features in Select HR allow you to upload and store documents against employees or any other part of the system.  Documents can be searched for using a number of different criteria or located based on the content they include.

·         Search CVs by keywords (applicants and employees)

·         Search for documents by category

·         Search by author, date range – or any other meta data

·         Locate documents for an individual

·         Locate documents by content

·         Hold non employee specific documents such as policies and job descriptions

Business Intelligence

One of the key drivers in the design of Select HR has been the idea of delivery of information directly to those who need it and for this information to be immediately relevant.  So, in addition to the extensive suits of standard reports, such as turnover, headcount, absence analysis, training needs and recruitment analysis, Select HR provides the ability to create dashboards and for these to be made available to relevant users.

Dashboards can include charts, gauges, listings and ‘slideshows’ as well as information from external sources in the web (RSS feeds).

System Configurability

Select HR is a fully configurable system which allows you to choose how information is presented to specific groups of users and which information they have access to.  You can control the contents of menus, screens, etc, using the tools available in the Administrator module.

Even the administrator itself can be configured for individual users.  For example, HR users may be able to produce graphs and reports and publish these for other staff to use, while system administrators may also be allowed to create and modify workflows or menus.

Many highly configurable systems are effectively just ‘tool kits’ with which clients have to effectively build their own system.  However, Select HR includes a huge array of standard functionality which means you can be up and running very quickly yet still have the ability to expand the system as your needs evolve.

Smart Client ... simultaneously capturing
the benefits of a 'thin client' (zero-install, auto-update) and a 'fat client'
(high performance, high productivity)



"Using the Windows Workflow Foundation allows greater control over processes and centralises the facility using a standard part of the Microsoft® environment".
