Cyborg Systems Africa, a leading provider of integrated workforce management solutions and a member of the global Cyborg Systems group, have announced the South African launch of eCyborg.
eCyborg is a Web-based version of the company`s popular Human Capital Management (HCM) software, utilising the latest in XML and SOAP technology, allowing easy collaboration with other Web-based services, such as content management, job boards and employment verification.
As Neil Bingham, Managing Director of Cyborg South Africa, puts it: "With eCyborg, an organisation can put employee and organisational information at the centre of the enterprise and build an ideal HCM solution comprised of 'best-of-breed` applications."
eCyborg combines strong Human Resource Management System (HRMS) functionality, self-service applications and Web analytics. All of which enable the organisation to extend administrative functions to the entire workforce, so that HR can be transformed from a tactical unit to a strategic resource. Workflow tools allow HR to streamline business processes, resulting in significant time savings and reduction of the administrative workload.
As a Web-based application, eCyborg need only be installed once, and is then available throughout the organisation. Apart from the ease of installation, it truly enables the interactive, self-service organisation by allowing managers and employees to control information, while simultaneously freeing HR professionals from tedious administrative tasks.
South African companies are recognising the advantages of utilising workforce management practice to better achieve strategic goals. "Companies today are looking to align their human capital management practices with their business objectives," says Jim Holincheck, Research Director at Gartner.
"Strategic HCM is increasingly recognised as an effective way to drive productivity and improve the overall work experience; companies are demanding Web-based, collaborative solutions that enable them to build advanced HCM portfolios."
