The global revolution in human resources management, fuelled by developments in IT and the emergence of e-HR, has led to a redefinition of human resources in the workplace. In recognition of this, and to move the company into the e-business arena, Q Data DynamiQue, the e-HR specialist in the PQ Africa Group, has developed and is to launch its new HR software solution in the last quarter of this year.
"Following an in-depth investigation of market requirements, we assembled a team of HR and payroll technology experts who have designed a new-generation solution," says Rob Bothma, director of product strategy and marketing at Q Data DynamiQue. "A singular characteristic of this company over the past years has been its ability to design software in line with market developments. We have acknowledged the function of HR as a strategic business tool, and our new solution will be geared to align HR and payroll systems with organisational strategies."
The new solution focuses on total solutions and complete functionality by integrating HR and personnel management, training, payroll administration, NQF and employment equity. "Aside from providing for the specific requirements of the South African market by enabling organisations to ensure that their workforce is in line with government legislation, the solution will also increase functionality by allowing line managers to manage personnel more effectively through the software," adds Bothma.
Q Data DynamiQue has been hard at work developing e-HR products this year. First out of the blocks was ESSi (Employee Self-Service intranet), developed in conjunction with Pretoria-based software development house Solit Interactive. ESSi is a workflow-enabled product that runs as a module on UniQue, Q Data DynamiQue`s current integrated HR and payroll system. ESSi allows employees quick view and update access to administrative information through a Web-based application, while eliminating the paperwork traditionally associated with personnel management.
A further development was the creation of a kiosk version of this software to take advantage of touch-screen technology. This deploys the self-service application to a broad range of employees, as opposed to conventional systems, which limit access to those employees with desktop PCs.
The final phases of development of MSSi (Manager Self Service intranet), which will enable line managers to manage and access their direct reports data via the intranet, is currently in progress.
Q Data Dynamique will be at the IPM Conference at the Sandton Convention
Centre from Monday 30th October.
