ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TAKES FORM - Scheduling Matrix Becomes Integral Part of Human Capital Management

October 21, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — WebApps, Inc., a leading provider of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), released newly developed scheduling tools as part of its integrated application suite for managing dynamic workforces. Under a subscription model, customers are given access over the Internet to a broad range of applications including Time and Attendance, Benefit Accruals, Vacation Planning, Project Tracking, and Employee Scheduling.

These newly released tools, bundled as a Scheduling Matrix, allow managers to automatically assign employees to specific positions at various locations within an organization based on pre-defined rules. Benchmarks may be established for lowest overall budget, fewest headcount or other criteria. Dmitry Korsunky, Chief Information Officer states, “Scheduling a workforce can be as simple as assigning skills to an employee, determining work preferences and allowing the system to schedule individuals based on coverage requirements.”

WebApps deploys its SaaS model through channel partners who market the software and provide front-line training, implementation and ongoing support services. “Most implementations include data synchronization to other enterprise resource planning (ERP) or Human Resource systems,” commented Mr. Korsunsky. Unlike traditional client-installed software packages, few if any technical resources are required at a customer’s site simplifying initial implementation and reducing overall total cost of ownership.
