Austin, Texas, United States – September 15, 2008 - Organizations can now utilize previously unattainable insights into the social- and knowledge-networks within their organizations to optimize critical human capital functions such as project staffing, employee performance evaluation, knowledge transfer, organizational learning, and the identification of training needs.
Peoplenetz, a provider of enterprise-level strategy, HR, and analytics software, today announced general availability of its much-anticipated Orgintelligentz 2.0 application. The workforce management application is the first of its kind to utilize real-time social- and knowledge-networks to dramatically increase the effectiveness of critical organizational tasks and decisions.
“Many businesses, in a wide range of industries, struggle to understand how knowledge flows within their organization and how social- and knowledge-network technology can be used to their advantage,” explains Michael Harrison, Peoplenetz CEO. “By measuring and analyzing skill utilization in the appropriate context, Orgintelligentz brings transparency to all areas of the organization in terms of “who knows what” and “who knows who”, and allows the information to be used in very powerful ways at every level of the organization.” Adds Harrison, “With Orgintelligentz, for example, employees always know how their skills compare with those of their peers, managers can more efficiently staff and manage projects, and executives can be confident that they are acknowledging, rewarding, and training the right people.”
About Orgintelligentz
Orgintelligentz produces two fundamental network views of organizations. First, the application empowers development of a living database of all skills maintained by employees, as well as a real-time utilization rating for each employee-skill combination. This information is used to build detailed knowledge networks defining “who knows what” and to what extent. Next, the innovative data-collection method introduced by Orgintelligentz is used to develop an organization-wide social network, making transparent to the organization “who knows who” and to what degree. These two powerful networks dynamically merge to provide a previously unattainable level of optimized project staffing, employee performance management, visualization of knowledge transfer, and identification of training needs.
Orgintelligentz is the first application to combine over 25 years of research in cognitive and industrial science to utilize social- and knowledge-networks in a single application. The software utilizes proprietary algorithms, which are patent-pending domestically and abroad, to process utilization data in real-time. Orgintelligentz integrates natively with the world’s largest ERP platforms such as SAP, Peoplesoft, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. It is also available in 20 languages. Orgintelligentz is delivered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), eliminating customer-maintained hardware and software, and significant personnel costs. Orgintelligentz is accessed using an ordinary web browser, with support for Safari, Firefox, and Internet Explorer.
