CyberShift, a leading provider of workforce and expense management software and services, today announced details of the next version of its feature-rich, enterprise-class workforce management solution, Workforce Management 3GTM Version 5.0, which will be generally available in June, 2006. The newest version of this field-proven solution delivers an unparalleled user experience that requires zero training for end users, and features enhanced rules automation that enables global employers to maximize workforce performance and take control where it matters most: labor and expense management.
Providing automated, real-time business forecasting, labor scheduling, time and attendance, expense management and enterprise reporting to maximize labor utilization, CyberShift´s Workforce Management 3G suite reduces process conflict and improves manager visibility. It supports the full automation of schedules, work, accrual and leave management policies, as well as union contracts and contingent labor billing. Additionally, CyberShift´s Necho ExpenseTM further extends the highly intuitive, Web-based solution by automating the processing and management of employee business expenses - the second largest controllable expense after labor costs.
Part of the feature-rich usability that further distinguishes CyberShift´s Workforce Management 3G solution from competitive offerings are the graphically-rich visualization tools available to develop easy-to-understand scorecards and dashboards that enable both users and managers to quickly assess what is happening in their business.
"When you develop an application, such as CyberShift Workforce Management 3G, that is potentially used by everyone in the workforce, having an intuitive, zero training user interface is critical. We´ve incorporated the results of usability studies as well as our client´s feedback to ensure that Workforce Management 3G Version 5.0 requires no training whatsoever for end users, improves operational efficiencies and provides 100 percent rules automation," said Morne Swart, vice president of Product Management at CyberShift.
CyberShift´s Workforce Management 3G solution takes rules management to a new level by dramatically reducing pay and work rule complexities through parameter definition. Its Automated Scheduling Engine uses configurable optimization rules and related parameters to provide virtually unlimited flexibility in proactively managing scheduling variations with "best practice" templates that reflect the organization´s most efficient staffing models, eliminating coverage gaps and overstaffing issues. Unlike competitive solutions that require extensive customization, CyberShift´s Workforce Management 3G Version 5.0 can be easily configured to align it with the specific policies and governance requirements unique to each organization. By establishing enterprise and departmental parameters and boundaries, managers are then able to save time by only looking at those data exceptions to the established rules. Through the 100 percent rules automation, compliance issues are reduced because the software itself consistently enacts the rules that manage compliance requirements throughout the enterprise.
Workforce Management 3G Version 5.0 will be available via in-house or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment models. More information about the latest version of CyberShift Workforce Management 3G will be available at the American Payroll Association´s 24th Annual Congress or by calling CyberShift at 973.364.0480 ext. 3250.
