People management technology impacting on government performance - Accsys

Sept. 28, 2010 - PRLog -- The government sector is a strategic market and core focus area for those who develop and implement HR systems and ICT infrastructure. HR experts at Accsys, a national supplier of payroll, HR, time & attendance and access control solutions, suggest that implementation of proven systems and correct application is essential for authorities to ensure successful service delivery.

Teryl Schroenn, CEO, Accsys, says that the level at which government, as a whole, is able to successfully apply its overall service and delivery mandate is influenced by just how quickly those in authority become more productive with time and resources. It is technology that will facilitate this process she adds.

Accsys is positioned at the forefront of technology development and application. The company is focused on key areas of HR, payroll, access control and time & attendance within key target markets that include corporate, government, hospitality, mining and retail.

The company has achieved acclaim within the various sectors its serves by winning a Technology Top 100 Award for Excellence in Management of People.

Accsys management says there are Web-based automated products now available to the local market that are designed to empower users with advantages such as the seamless integration of essential business management services onto one database.

“At a time when resources are being protected, when cash flow is being scrutinised, along with investments, systems that are designed to enhance control and do so with the intention of saving on costs is a boost to business. Government representatives are particularly concerned about the effective use of resources, of being able to control these resources and apply systems that promote ease-of-use, customisation, centralised control of the environment and other advantages,” Schroenn explains.

Technology developers at Accsys have differentiated the company within a competitive marketplace by focusing on the value of the concept of single entry of data and information.

Accsys PeopleWare Enterprise is an example of the level of innovation that is being integrated into current solution development. This product suite integrates modules such as HR, payroll, time & attendance onto one platform, all of which are critical to business development today says Schroenn.  

However, as Schroenn points out, it is not only the volume and variety of solutions now available to government that is of growing interest, but also the increasing number of prospective service providers.

These outsource operations have mushroomed in a bid to capitalise on growing trends such as Employee Self Service, cloud computing and virtualisation and to assist users with resource management.

“We continue to witness a marked increase in the development of solutions and introduction of new products designed to enhance resource management. The government, as part of its ongoing and focused e-strategy and IT spend, has the option to outsource to service providers. As with any investment, the decisions should be based on the track record of a partner, skills level, available resource and knowledge of the market. We are not only talking about the integration of technology, we have to consider the scope for user training. This is critical for investors to extract maximum benefit from the investment,” Schroenn adds.
