Customers Cite SAP, PeopleSoft Integration Benefits
Sausalito, CA, June 20, 2005 - HumanConcepts, developer of OrgPlus®, the industry standard software for organizational charting, today announced a growing list of leading companies that have selected OrgPlus Enterprise as their integrated organizational charting solution. Cox Communications, Lear, Safety-Kleen and Hudson's Bay are among the growing list of customers who have recently selected or implemented OrgPlus Enterprise.
Announced earlier this year, OrgPlus Enterprise is an enterprise level solution for managing organizational change. OrgPlus Enterprise integrates with human resource systems, portals and other data sources to provide a secure environment for creating and distributing organizational charts and other corporate information. This information can then be easily visualized and modeled to support corporate decision making.
Cox Communications: OrgPlus for PeopleSoft
Cox Communications, the third-largest cable provider in the nation with 23,000
employees, was using an assortment of applications including PowerPoint, Visio
and OrgPlus to create and maintain organizational charts for more than 25
business units. The company wanted to standardize on an organizational charting
solution that provided a fast and easy way to see all employees, where they work
and how they fit in the organization.
The solution had to maintain their organizational structure in a PeopleSoft environment, while allowing them to easily share charts and directories through their Plumtree company portal. OrgPlus was the only solution that met all the requirements.
"Not only can we get results in a heartbeat, but we found that OrgPlus was a great way to validate the accuracy of the data contained in PeopleSoft," said Jonathan Commanday, Director, HR Systems for Cox Communications. "When you see your HR data represented graphically in a reporting hierarchy, new patterns and organizational ideas come to mind that wouldn't otherwise. Now that we're using OrgPlus to manage our organizational structure, we're automating a function that took over 100 administrative professionals to maintain."
Using OrgPlus Enterprise in an HRMS environment such as SAP or PeopleSoft, users can validate HR data in a graphical chart format, restrict access to information by role and distribute charts and associated employee directories in any electronic format throughout the enterprise. Further, HR teams, finance professionals and executives can measure and model their organization to guide business decisions.
"The most respected names in business and government are taking organizational management to a more strategic level by using OrgPlus Enterprise for integrated organizational charting," said Martin Sacks, CEO of HumanConcepts. "Cox Communications implementation is a good example of the efficiencies to be gained from an OrgPlus solution."
