Advanced HR applications (such as target deployment, performance management, competency management…etc) are difficult to deploy and control with paper-pen based systems and quite expensive to run and maintain with incumbent commercial solutions, which require considerable investment on both server and client side.
Moreover, installing these comprehensive and integrated software packages with all necessary infrastructure isn’t sufficient for full utilization, as it is also required to receive consultancy from the vendor for customization of built-in HR models or for adaptation of the customer’s own existing models to the new framework in expense of a couple of more zeros on the right of the billed figure.
These solutions are not affordable for many SMEs, most of which are even unable to maintain a dedicated HR function within their organizations. Other small, partial but inexpensive solutions are generally desktop based, and lack many features such as web accessibility.
OpenHRIS aims to cover all these disadvanteges and become an alternative solution for SMEs in HR automation.
It will require no investment for infrastructure. As it will be entirely web based, the system will be accessible from and fully operable on every computer with a browser and access to internet/intranet.
It will have a modular structure and provide as much flexibility as possible for different adaptation needs.
It will provide basic built-in HR models and will be ready for deployment immediately after installation.
