The Trap of Software Salesman
The presentation of each software
vendor looks very appealing and it is filled with many mind-boggling HR
word and technology jargons. Combined with the appealing presentation,
the magical personality of a good salesman has the power to overwhelm
the viewers to believe that his product is best choice. Most HR software
vendors hire talented people.
The salesmen know that the HR
Professionals are not so strong at the software front, they serve only
the best bites from the software - the best screen shots and the best
features.
The first major action that any HR
Head should take is to wash off the overwhelming effect of the
Salesman. The next step is to poke your nose deep into the software and
the vendor company.

How to Poke your nose in a Human
Resource Management Software
HR Software should be basically
assessed on 5-6 aspects
|
|
|
User Friendly Interface
Whatever technology a software uses,
it has no utility unless it has a user friendly interface - an
interface that matches the popular softwares, websites and
applications. The biggest benefit of a user-friendly interface is that
it will require minimum to no effort to train the users.

Training Documents and Support
The next difference that a software
can make is by the documentation and self-help support. The complex
natures of the HR work-flows, data entry patters and reports, can
confuse the users or even the administrators. Every time asking support
from vendor is not only time consuming but costly. Available documents
and self help can be of tremendous help in this instance.

processes
