HumanConcepts Announces Deeper SAP Integration for OrgPlus® Organisational Charting and Workforce Modelling Software
Torquay. - 16th March, 2007 - HumanConcepts, the developer of OrgPlus®, the leading software for intelligent organisational charting and workforce modelling, today announced a deeper level of product integration with SAP at the SAP HR Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. OrgPlus Enterprise automates and centralises organisational charting using HR data directly from SAP. Centralised, web-based organisation charts allow for visual communication of an organisation's hierarchy with HR metrics and provide a platform for capturing and actioning workforce change.
OrgPlus Enterprise inherits role definitions directly from SAP, ensuring that field level security in OrgPlus Enterprise matches the field level security permissions in SAP. The added integration capability guarantees consistent security for all end users and reduces ongoing maintenance costs. Additionally, OrgPlus Enterprise features enhanced HR-OCI support allowing organisational charts to be generated from hierarchies based on Position-to-Position relationships in addition to the existing support for OrgUnit to OrgUnit relationships.
"HumanConcepts is committed to making sure that our customers get maximum return on their SAP investment," said Steve Datnow, Vice President of Engineering at HumanConcepts. "OrgPlus gives our customers the added functionality they need to view and analyse their SAP HR data-and by allowing use of existing SAP role definitions, we have reduced the setup and maintenance costs associated with our system."
