Central hub of all HR informationAgresso HR enables the creation of comprehensive employee records, with an unlimited variety of user-definable information fields. The module’s document archive plays a fundamental role in this, allowing electronic documents (such as résumés) to be attached, so that all critical employee information is brought together in one central repository. In addition, user-defined workflow improves monitoring and control of HR processes, ensuring effective communication and timely handling of tasks.

Employee self-serviceControlled, secure Internet access to Agresso HR allows employees to carry out common administrative tasks themselves. Management can also use built-in workflow support for approvals and verification, prior to updating personal records, to ensure efficient, accurate and consistent data entry.

Easy, effective security and system administrationAgresso offers integrated system-wide administration and security to protect employee information and segregate payroll, personnel and project management data. Our software enables IT departments to establish audit trails and implement internal control policies as required.

Vita is the only architecture on the market that dynamically couples data, business process and the delivery methodology to move in lockstep. Put simply, when you make a change in one area, it does not have to be redone and rechecked for accuracy in another.

What’s the advantage?Unlike rival solutions, Agresso allows business users to modify their own systems, easily and quickly, long after implementation, without re-programming or IT involvement. As a result, instead of being tied to a rigid information system that hinders your growth, your staff are empowered to embrace change and make the difference, while at the same time dramatically reducing the spend and dependency on external resources. This is true agility, which goes beyond delivering a low total cost of ownership by ensuring customers benefit from something even more significant: a low total cost of change.
