New Jersey, USA (October 23, 2006). The release of OrangeHRM version 1.2 was announced today. OrangeHRM is an easy to install and easy to use free Open Source HRM System especially suitable for small and medium sized enterprises. The new version contains major improvements to the user friendliness of the system. These improvements include:

• Several structural enhancements and improved wording that have made the whole flow of the system more logical.

• Improved user interface in the Personal Information Management module.

This collaboration is one of the major advantages of Open Source software.” says Dinesh Saparamadu, Chief Executive Officer, OrangeHRM
