Growing Integration of Technology in Front and Back-End HR Functions - SHRM and SaaS.com Report Benefits of Technology in HR

BRIDGEWATER, NJ –September 7, 2007 - WebApps, Inc. a.k.a. SaaS.com, a leading provider of Software as a Service (SaaS) with a major push in Time & Labor Management, helps Human Resource professionals integrate technology in their daily tasks to get the most out of their practice. Utilizing information technology remains important for both pre hire functions of HR, such as recruiting, talent acquisition, resume management and hiring, and for post hire including time collection, time off, benefit accruals and scheduling. A recent article written for the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), titled "HR Doesn't Need to be an Oxymoron," focuses on the benefits of technology in HR for pre hire functions.

The article highlights various reasons as to why information technology is so helpful in HR according to recruiting consultant, Arte Nathan. In the article, Nathan says, "An online application process and an automated system for sorting and tracking applications are key to effective staffing." With this in mind, Nathan created one of the first systems for documenting the movement of applicants through the hiring process. He also firmly believes that requiring workers to complete an online application is much more efficient rather than sifting through personalized resumes, which he refers to as "fluff and marketing." Even more, these automated systems help companies track their demographics and ensure that their hiring practices are in line with equal employment opportunity requirements.

Furthering Nathan's concept of integrating technology to HR, SaaS.com develops Time & Labor Management software with back office tools. SaaS.com delivers these applications under a SaaS model, streamlining the paper-intensive manual process of preparing payroll, providing valuable insight necessary to manage a workforce, and eliminating the need for technical resources on site. SaaS.com operates, keeping in mind the idea that an effective labor management application increases human productivity, simplifies organizational processes, and includes an easy-to-use interface and logical workflow that reduce learning curves, encouraging user acceptance.

The key highlighted post hire tools include Time and Attendance, Employee Scheduling, Benefit Accruals, Expense Tracking, and Job Costing. "In the past several years, there's been a significant increase in use of our post hire tools for allocating human resources more efficiently," states Alex Quintero, Business Development Manager of SaaS.com. Quintero continued to comment, "We have organizations with as little as a few dozen users to others with several thousand in a broad spectrum of industries. Our software is offered on a subscription basis and provides the necessary tools for organizations to focus on more productive tasks and helps ensure users benefit from a fair, unbiased work environment."
