Intellect illustrates the power of genuine integration

HR and Payroll software specialist Intellect is demonstrating its dynamic portfolio of innovative solutions - the modular Workforce suite of modules, Ochre Payroll and Ochre Public Sector, and the specialist enterprise-level solution Indiga HR - on Stand A84 at the HRSS Show, taking place from 22-23 June 2005 at Olympia 2, London. Intellect has redefined the concept of integration, with a unique design approach that uses a single source database to achieve genuinely integrated as opposed to interfaced operation. Intellectís single source database holds all the data used by payroll and HR to ensure that both functions operate seamlessly, with instantaneous updates to all fields that can be viewed from either application, at any time.



- Lifetime Product Support Guarantee
Intellectís solutions are differentiated by a lifetime support guarantee, ensuring that any changes made by the customer organisation remain fully supported through product evolution and future releases. This pioneering approach to customisation support enables organisations to purchase Intellectís Workforce, Ochre or Indiga solutions with complete confidence, enabling them to tailor, customise and evolve the system over time without incurring any subsequent charges to ensure continuing support.

- Modular Workforce Moves to Version 14
The latest version of Workforce - V14 - sets a new standard of intuitive operation, incorporating a host of user-requested enhancements that reflect the dynamic communication exchange between Intellect and its extensive user base. With a proven track record of more than 10 years, Workforce is a finely-tuned solution that is underpinned by Intellectís uniquely flexible configuration and scripting tools. Workforce comprises a range of core options including - Human Resource Manager, Public Sector, Training Manager, Recruitment Manager and Ochre Payroll.

Workforce V14 incorporates a new way of handling complex tables of data - adopting a spreadsheet-style approach to enable users to sort, insert and amend data in a more intuitive way. Another important development involves the ability to post future employment changes, with the system automatically applying resulting changes such as updating the establishment automatically once any specified date is reached. Further enhancements have also been made to automate workflow routines within Workforce, with the wide variety of automated communication methods including letters and emails distributed, either via a one-click step or automatically.

- Real Time Advantages with Ochre Payroll
Intellectís Ochre Payroll is an advanced solution that can claim to set new standards in payroll functionality with its real-time performance. Ochre is fast and accurate, with a comprehensive set of fully customisable features that enable an organisation to blend and fine-tune Ochre to suit its working practices. Ochreís real time operation enables genuine flexibility - for example, it is possible to produce real time net pay calculations - a major benefit. Pay errors can be avoided by enabling employees to view their payslips online before the payroll is closed off. Employees can even print off their own pay advices for both the current period and historically, removing a considerable age-old administrative burden.

The Ochre software conforms to all legislative requirements set out by the Inland Revenue for accreditation as an IR-approved payroll system. Ochre Public Sector combines all the advanced functionality of Ochre Payroll, as well as meeting the highly specific public sector payroll requirements. The software efficiently handles the rigid complexity of spine points - including multiple Spine Point tables - without impinging on the flexibility that may be required by local authorities. It also fully supports grades, a person with multiple posts (individual or generic or both) or in a job share, as well as split points and barring.
