Industry-Leading HRIS Now Offers Complete Performance Suite

iVantage® version 5.3 released
Denver, Colo.—September 28, 2009 - Spectrum Human Resource Systems Corporation released the 5.3 version of its leading-edge HRIS today, introducing features that will empower employers to better manage the performance of their workforces.

Developed by HR professionals, iVantage 5.3 contains features that will allow it to compete with the leading stand-alone Performance Management systems on the market.

“The performance features in this release are as functional as many of the stand-alone performance systems,” said Sybll Romley, Spectrum President and CEO. “By using the performance capabilities in iVantage, organizations can eliminate the expense of third-party systems and interfaces to their HRIS.”

With the new system’s next-generation performance review suite, HR can define standard questions for managers to answer during either a traditional or 360-degree review. Questions can be at any level—corporate, departmental or job. Managers can customize reviews with additional department- or job-specific questions and have questions tied to employee job competencies. Additionally, the new journaling feature enables managers and employees to keep notes throughout the review period for use at review time.

The cascading and hierarchical goals functionality completes the standard review functionality by adding the ability to include corporate goals that roll down through the organization. This functionality allows an organization to see which team members contribute most to the company’s overall success.

iVantage 5.3 also includes other enhancements to the system including new routing and approval functionality that enables managers to approve or deny requests directly from e-mail notifications.

iVantage 5.3 is the most intuitive, functional HRIS available today. The system covers all HR functionality—staffing and recruiting, absence and leave tracking, benefits administration, compensation administration, employee development, self-service, powerful reporting and international features.
