HR & Payroll technologies

The move from the transactional administration model of the past towards collaborative, internet-based business communities, means new challenges for Payroll & HR professionals.

Once seen as just a service, personnel management is now a key corporate function. The success of a company in "optimising" its workforce is often the only way to win breakaway, competitive advantage.

So you need to ensure that any solution you choose is compatible with your e-administration plans. You must be sure it will enable you to implement and integrate enterprise workflow, decision support, employee self-service, personal internet portals or whatever applications may be vital for your company's successful growth.

Knowledge management

Everyone wants to do it, but few seem to really understand what it is and even less know how to accomplish it!

Knowledge is more than just stored information. To have any real value, it needs to be understood in specific contexts and be capable of dynamic application.

This means traditional systems for storing and accessing data are seldom flexible enough, on their own, to produce the results you want.

Copraxis will help you to ask the right questions about what knowledge you want to capture and how you will use it. We can then formulate effective strategies for implementing the processes and systems needed to deliver profitable benefits.

Needs assessment

You probably have an idea of the problems you want to solve and the benefits you are seeking, but how do you identify the system features that will deliver measurable business benefits?

It's easy to get carried away when you see all the functionality in modern systems. But often the "must have" features that seduce us into buying a particular product prove unwieldy and remain unused.

Copraxis will provide an objective view that keeps you focused on the results you actually need now and for your growth.

Process enhancement & automation

Experience shows there is a tendency to replicate existing processes in the new systems.

Copraxis can audit your current processes against the strategic needs of the organisation and suggest ways to streamline and automate workflow and information delivery.

Such an in-depth study is always vital before embarking on the commissioning of a new system. Sometimes it's found that simple changes produce such far-reaching results that the need for a new solution is delayed or eliminated.

Sourcing

Copraxis has in-depth knowledge of the market, so can deliver invaluable assistance in the complete sourcing process, including:

• a creative approach to SORs, RFIs and ITTs
• supplier & product selection
• "insider" understanding of the sales and negotiating techniques of suppliers
• contract and supplier management
• integrating third-party products

User acceptance

One of the key factors in actually reaping the benefits of a new system is getting the organisation to use it properly.

In our experience, new systems frequently offer no major, intrinsic benefits over the one being replaced. It's just that the old system wasn't used properly!

Copraxis can help ensure your new solution delivers the desired benefits right from the outset by introducing ways to:

• manage user expectations
• create effective internal communication channels
• maximise positive payback for all users
• develop dynamic user learning processes
• engender genuine enthusiasm from the whole company
