Exact Software Streamlines Human Resources Administration

New solution allows companies to cost-effectively roll out e-Synergy to the entire organization, empowering employees to manage HR information and requests
Andover, Mass. — February 5, 2007 – Exact Software™, a leading provider of solutions that connect the people, processes and knowledge essential to an organization, today announced the availability of the Exact e-Synergy Employee Self-Service Portal (ESS).  An extension of e-Synergy’s HRM functionality, ESS provides a secure Web portal for employees to centrally manage human resources administration, enabling organizations to streamline processes, increase access to information and reduce HR-related paperwork and costs.  
 
ESS is a portal solution based on Exact e-Synergy that is designed to get employees, from the corner office to the shop floor, more involved in the HR process.  ESS provides capabilities for employees to communicate, share documents, enter timekeeping records and access policies, procedures and other HR-related information within e-Synergy.  Users also have access to seven workflow request types, including vacation requests and expense claim approvals.  By empowering employees to easily locate information and initiate and manage processes, ESS reduces paperwork and other administrative inefficiencies, saving companies time and money.  The self-service aspect of the system also deflects repetitive inquiries regarding benefits, holidays, etc., freeing HR staff to focus on more strategic activities.
 
“It is not always cost-effective for organizations to roll out full licenses of e-Synergy to all of their employees,” said Matthew Bather, e-Synergy product marketing manager for Exact Software North America.  “The e-Synergy Employee Self Service Portal enables businesses to roll out specific administrative functionality to all employees in a cost conscious manner, enabling them to centralize human resource management and achieve greater efficiency throughout the organization.”

ESS increases productivity and efficiency throughout the organization by streamlining administrative processes and providing tools for sharing valuable knowledge and information in a structured manner.  In addition, by centrally managing all HR and personnel information, ESS provides company management with greater visibility into key performance indicators (KPIs) and service levels, improving their ability to leverage and develop the workforce.  
 
The Exact e-Synergy Employee Self-Service Portal is currently available to any organization with at least one fully licensed user of Exact e-Synergy.  For additional information and pricing, please contact your local Exact Software office, certified Exact Software business partner, or visit the Exact Software Website at www.exactamerica.com.
