HR technology can improve the management of HR and so contribute to the organization’s competitive advantage. It is now established that the benefits of the use of technology far outweigh the benefits of just engaging in traditional practices of HR. For example, software companies like Microsoft, Satyam Computers and Infosys have been performing most of their HR management (HRM) online.

Technology has increased and access made readily available of HR information; improved communication; improved the speed at which HRM transactions and information are gathered; and reduced costs making it easier to administer HRM functions, such as recruitment, training, and performance management.

 

Survey evidence showed that firms using technology, and especially information technology, are listed in the Fortune 500 firms. The majority of these firms have invested in computer applications designed to aid HRM through computerized employee records, payroll, and compensation and benefits administrations. What emerged, as a common trend, was that such investments led to more efficient information management of HRM.


Electronic Human Resource Management System (e-HRM System) is a web-based solution that takes advantage of the latest web application technology to deliver an online real-time human resource management solution. It is comprehensive but easy to use, feature-rich yet flexible enough to be tailored to your specific needs.

A recent research report on e-HR people management strategies is associated with a nearly 2% increase in a company’s market value. e-HR helps maximize a company’s progress toward a knowledge economy and increased shareholder value.
