PT. Griya Miesejati to implement SunFish HR for strategic employee development to prepare for expansion

November 2005, Jakarta – DataOn announces that its SunFish HR Enterprise Version was selected for implementation at PT. Griya Miesejati (Bakmi GM). The company needs an HR system that goes beyond common HR functionalities and provides in-depths functions for strategic employee development and career paths administration including performance evaluation, competency management, training and recruitment.

Established in the early 70’s PT. Griya Miesejati opened the first Fast-Food Restaurant under the name 'Bakmi Gadjah Mada 77'; today Indonesia’s oldest fast-food restaurant. Steadily expanding throughout Jakarta and in 2000 to other Indonesian cities Bakmi GM grew to a respected Fast Food company that easily competes with international brands such as McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc. Currently employing more than 6000 workers and continuing to expand Bakmi GM company was determined to address the strategic development of its human resources to match the company’s growth plans.

Early in 2005 Bakmi GM started the vendor evaluation process comparing solutions of many well-known international and local HR system providers. Their main focus during the evaluation was how each system would handle the strategic functions of employee competency management, performance evaluation in different categories as well as training management based on such evaluation. In several rounds, the company carefully filtered the vendors that had the smallest gap to their detailed requirements. The SunFish HR Enterprise Suite proved to be the right solution for Bakmi GM. Additionally, the solutions web-based nature, flexibility, scalability to accommodate future needs and DataOn’s ability to deliver the required solutions at a lower total cost of ownership concluded the decision.  

With its new HR solution Bakmi GM will be able to develop a strong personnel strategy that directly connects the value their employees offer and the company’s bottom line. Utilizing the competency framework in SunFish HR, Bakmi GM will apply a systematic approach of measuring individual competencies and skills in order to build frequent snapshots of the knowledge and potential within the organization. This information then enables them to perform individual and organizational analysis (to develop employees’ careers and to identify and close position gaps), reduce educational costs, and improve their hiring practice.

Enhancements in human resource performance and in the career planning process through the utilization of SunFish HR will make sure Bakmi GM deploys their human capital according to the company’s strategic development goals and will provide the assistance Bakmi GM needs in order to prepare their next expansion steps.
