British International School of Jakarta to deploy SunFish HR Payroll

October 2006, Jakarta – The British International School of Jakarta (BIS Jakarta) is the latest company that will implement DataOn’s new software edition SunFish HR Payroll. Mainly interested in an HR system to automate the management of their employee information, payroll as well as tax calculation and processing BIS was interested in an easy to use and low risk HR solution. Another criteria the school looked at was that the system was fast to deploy as their previous payroll system had failed them and BIS urgently needed a new software.

BIS was created in 1973 and is for expatriates of all nationalities from age 3 to 18 years with current representation of 45 nationalities. Following the National Curriculum of England and Wales the school offers the GCSE, IGCSE and International Baccalaureate Diploma and Certificates. It strongly emphasizes on providing students with the very best education that will stand comparison to the top schools in their home countries.
The aim of the BIS, Jakarta is to offer the highest possible standard of education to enable each child to realize his or her academic, social and physical potential, and to develop his or her aesthetic awareness - both as an individual and as a member of society. Priority is given to providing the child with a secure, friendly and stimulating environment in which they can benefit from high teaching standards, excellent facilities and a broad based curriculum at BIS, Jakarta.

When DataOn presented its HR Payroll Package with the installation CD, which includes all software needed to run SunFish, its easy, step by step installation handbook for self-installation and a wizard that leads administrators through the configuration process of the software, BIS saw a perfect match to their requirements. The fact that the set up and configuration of the software doesn’t take more than a couple of days, that its user-friendly, DataOn’s HR experience and large client base convinced the school to trust SunFish HR.

When the set up is completed and all parameters defined, SunFish HR Payroll will provide a single, standard platform for BIS’ payroll management, which is intertwined with time and attendance, employee information, approval processing, organizational structure management, and personnel career movement administration. The system will complement and automate existing HR operations, while increasing process efficiency, and optimizing the school’s human resources.  The software’s flexibility will also allow adapting BIS’ future growth. The HR system can easily be upgraded to any other of DataOn’s HR versions that contain strategic modules such as Performance Management, Training and Recruitment Administration and Competency Management.
