PDS Announces Alliance
with HumanConcepts
Blue Bell, Pa., April 11, 2003 – PDS, an award-winning
developer of web-based human resource and payroll
systems, today announced an alliance partnership
with HumanConcepts, LLC, the developer of OrgPlus™,
the industry standard software for organizational
charting. PDS will integrate HumanConcepts’ organizational
charting capabilities into its Vista HRMS (Human
Resource Management System) and payroll solution.
“Many of our clients are looking for organizational
charting functionality,” said Charles Jefferies,
president and CEO of PDS. “By incorporating OrgPlus
with Vista, our clients are able to automatically
generate org charts from existing data. Combined
with Vista’s Position Management capability, users
can more easily manage their organization not
only from the perspective of their employees,
but also by position.”
“PDS has a strong HR, payroll and benefits solution,”
said Martin Sacks, president and CEO of HumanConcepts.
“Its focus on position management makes OrgPlus
a perfect fit for an add-on component of Vista.
With OrgPlus, Vista users can now have a visual
understanding of their current structure through
its automated org charts.”
Vista is a fully integrated HR, benefits administration
and payroll system, which can be configured to
reflect a company’s business practices and processes.
Individual users or groups of users can be provided
with specific functionality according to their
job responsibilities and authority to access sensitive
information. Moreover, users can easily create
their own specialized reports to supplement Vista’s
extensive library of predefined reports. Finally,
Vista’s extensive workflow engine reduces the
overhead involved in day-to-day tasks and frees
up the HR and payroll professionals to focus on
more strategic issues.
OrgPlus Professional automatically generates
professional org charts that can be published
and shared in documents, presentations or on corporate
intranets. HR managers can communicate up-to-date
org charts easily across their organization, and
give managers the tools to do planning and what-if
analyses.
