1. HR Stress

When your HR team shows signs of decreased productivity, you might wonder if you need an HRMS. The HR department handles more tasks than most people know and simplification of the human resource processes would be necessary to maximise employee engagement and transform strategies into measurable business outcomes. This in turn, leaves the HR free to focus on more obstinate matters. If you’ve noticed that your HR workers seem to have an overload or strained out lately, an HRMS may be just what the doctor ordered.

2. Benefit Insanity

Employees love their benefits so much that a recent survey mentioned that over ninety percent said they’d start looking out for a new job if they are not provided with benefits! If you happened to notice a constant inrush of benefit-related inquires to your HR department and if they cause you a head-heavy problem, an automated benefit management system might be of help. They could also boost your financial capacity and talent management.

3. Errors and Noncompliance

Reducing HR errors involves far more than taking disciplinary action against an individual. Noncompliance can be even more expensive. If you start to see an increase in human errors, whether it’s missing new-hire paperwork, forgetting to add a decimal or in the worst case when the employee fails to receive his salary .Ooops…You would have to think of an HRMS right away!!! Since an HRMS will use foolproof measures and automation, the frequency of errors and noncompliance issues will decrease drastically.

4. Costs you have no idea about

The mechanism of data tracking is at the centre of HR operations –past, present and future data effectively. If you start to see that your organization is losing cash quickly using HR metrics in the HRMS can help you identify just what facets of your organization are costing you the most. This will help you streamline processes, be more efficient and generally save money in order to lessen the cost it takes to run them. This aspect can let you create strategies for your business’ future. An HRMS could literally save your company from going out of business.

5. Data leaking out!!

Employee details can be sensitive. Payroll information is anyway sensitive. They need to be                   kept safe to protect both your business and your employees. It is duty of the HR to see that none of such information leaks out or reaches a third party unreasonably. If you find it inconvenient to maintain the integrity in your growing company by not preserving confidential data in the apt manner you might need to go for an HRMS as this adds a layer of security.

6. Performance gaps

Few employees may perform well and few may not. But if you are losing track of it and fear you’ll pick on the wrong employee, the performance management system in the HRMS can bridge the gap. With a formal performance management, you can orchestrate consistent improvement. This will help you to put the full productivity of their workforce to use, including the varied experiences, talents, and skills of all staff within the enterprise

7. You Think You need it

More employees get hired. Employee retention increases…Employees’ performance at stake…No track of data… Your head is meshy inside with what’s actually happening in the HR processes.. It’s the right time to think of having an HRMS. . If you understand all that an HRMS can do for your organization and feel it’s time to make the investment go ahead!!!

ERP Customization ../erp-customization/ ../erp-customization/#respond Sat, 19 Nov 2016 14:22:49 +0000 ../?p=13467 Customization is one of the features companies consider when implementing a new ERP software. When you see a complex business process far from the standard ERP system, a knee-jerk reaction is to reach for customization tools and do the development.

For every inch a customization brings an ERP system closer to the way you do business, it makes it an inch farther away from what it really is: a named product you purchased in the first place. It might not matter to you at this point,here all you need is solving your business problems after all. But solving business problems can introduce new non-business problems, which cause you so much pain in the long run to become business-relevant.

Many ERP theorists say that ERP is only as good as it is an exact match for your processes. And they are mostly right about it. But majority of ERP systems are very generic (Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Sage, GTS One etc), and to exactly match your processes, they require customization. When it doesn’t work out-of-the-box, you customize it; it’s that simple, isn’t it?

Let’s take a look at few arguments for not customizing ERP for their specific requirements. According to Vjeko the top reasons why you should avoid customizing your ERP solution are as follows:

Regression

This is a fancy term of software development theory which is really used as an euphemism for “a screw-up”. That is when you do a small change to functionality A, and suddenly functionality B starts behaving funny. When you introduce a new feature, you must do the regression testing to make sure your new change didn’t mess something up with what was already there. With ERP, no matter what you do, there is a lot of the already there stuff to test. The more you customize, the more regression testing you have to do, and what consultants don’t find, the end users will, but after go-live. Hunting down these goblins goes on for months, and I’ve seen deployments which turned into a lifetime of regression issues.

Go-Live

Customizations prolong your go-live. The more you have, the longer it takes before go-live. Even though your initial budget might have covered for all the customization costs, time overruns can make your project unsuccessful. With ERP systems, go-live dates matter a lot: it is much easier, and less costly, to switch at the end of fiscal periods, preferably years. You miss the deadline and you might need to postpone the whole thing for another month, or another quarter.

Official support

When there is a problem, depending on your support plans, you might request official support from system vendor. When you do, first thing they’ll want to know if the problem repeats in the standard application. If it doesn’t, you are toast, because the support team can’t support your custom solution. For smaller issues, this might not be important, but imagine having a critical bug which puts your business to a stop.

Upgrade

A life cycle of an ERP application version is two to three years, while a life cycle of an ERP deployment is five to ten years, sometimes even more. This means that in a life of an ERP deployment, there will be between two and five (or more) versions of the same application released by its vendor. Upgrading to a new version can sometimes require re-developing all the customized functionality, making you have to pay for the same customization time and again. And then fight regression issues all over. Of course, you may opt not to do any upgrades, but that can mean locking your whole infrastructure to old versions of software (and hardware).

Know-how

People come and go, but the knowledge comes and goes with them as well. If you use standard out of the box applications to manage your business, you have a huge benefit of being able to hire power-users who have experience with the application. But if you have a Frankenstein, anybody who comes to your company with the knowledge of GTS One won’t be of much help. And when people who know the Frankenstein leave your company, Houston you have a problem. The same is true for your consultant: the people who developed your Frankenstein might leave, and new people who come, who might be world-class experts in GTS One might easily not be able to support and maintain your solution at all.

Vendor lock-in

One of the benefits of choosing a standardized ERP system is avoiding a vendor lock-in: if you are unhappy with one your dealer, you can switch for another one. Or can you? If your first partner developed a Frankenstein for you, you might have troubles switching partners. Companies are very cautious about accepting to support an application they didn’t develop, they have to learn something non-standard and then to maintain it; it might be too costly. If you have to switch partners, then it sometimes means re-implementing the system. Sticking with your old vendor might be one huge opportunity cost for you.

Help

You know that handy little F1 key? It often becomes worthless. Really, how many of consultancies update the help file with all the customizations and changes they did? Yes, they give you the operating manuals or end-user documentation, but how handy is it really? Users can’t tell what is standard and what is customization, and if there is help for their Customer Card, but there is no help for their Parcel Tracking List, and if the existing help for Customer Card explains only half of what is there, or when it explains something in a wrong way (because the developers decided to tap into existing functionality and invent a new purpose for it)—your end users will stop using the help file. And the moment they stop using the help file is the moment when they’ve given up. From that moment on, you’ll have them gradually stop thinking and turn into robots following cookbooks, which will cost you dearly in errors, rework, and lost productivity.

When you look at customizations from this perspective, it becomes obvious that customizations can turn your ERP system into a huge long-term cost generator.

 

Of course, it is not all black and white. Sometimes customizations can be totally necessary. All of the above doesn’t mean you should avoid all customizations, it only means that you should consider the alternative ways, and if you decide the customizations are the way to go, at least you know the risks, so you can better prepare for them.

GTS One ESS Mobile App release !!! ../GTS One-ess-mobile-app-release/ ../GTS One-ess-mobile-app-release/#respond Fri, 28 Oct 2016 23:18:44 +0000 ../?p=13982 GTS One HRMS is ready to start sending out the latest version of its ESS mobile system to its clients.

This employee self service app (android and IOS) does the good job of helping users navigate a world in which we frequently switch from one device to another, from a Windows PC top a smart phone or tablet along the way.

Here, all the employee needs to have is a smart phone and all their requests (Salary Advance, expense claim, leave etc) will be taken care whether on road, onsite or in office. Hence easier access across the geographical boundaries is made and the key administrative processes for managers and HRs are accelerated.

Multilevel Approval by line managers is an added advantage. The initiates are made directly to their HRs or their respective approval managers. Email alerts will be received during request, approvals and rejects. Managers can also approve or reject the requests via the ESS portal.
