HR Management Information System to be Revolutionized by DataOn’s New, Free and Low Cost HR Versions for Small and Medium Enterprises

July 2008, Jakarta – DataOn announces that it has begun development of its new open source application of Human Resource Management Solution for small businesses in Indonesia. Called the SunFish HR - Small Business Edition, this application provides a great opportunity of fundamental HR Automation to a large number of small businesses and institutions in Indonesia, that don’t have the budget to implement complex existing Human Resource Information System. The Small Business Edition is a simple yet effective HR solution addressing the most pressing HR automation requirements, such as employee record keeping, attendance management, payroll calculation and processing, and tax management. User companies can download the application at no costs, and thus, utilize efficiency benefits inherent to the implementation of an integrated HR solution.

With DataOn’s new version smaller companies will have an initial level of HR automation technology that allows them to transform their traditional methods of human resource administration to become efficient, flexible and advanced, promoting operating cost reductions, professional management and future potential ITC adoption to further their growth. The innovation with a potentially far-reaching impact has compelled USAID-funded Indonesia Competitiveness Program, SENADA, to support the development, marketing and distribution of DataOn’s SunFish HR – Small Business Edition.

“With the assistance of SENADA, DataOn is proud to be able to offer this new Small Business Edition of SunFish HR to Indonesian businesses bringing the benefits of HR automation to businesses without requiring any substantial investment.” says Gordon Enns, President of DataOn.

The SunFish HR – Small Business Edition will deliver the following cornerstone benefits to SME’s:

HR Management Automation: the implementation of basic automation technology allows SME’s to manage their HR more efficiently, freeing HR staff and management from tedious administration tasks to focus on higher value added contributions.
 
Improved Management Oversight and Analysis: the software provides reporting and analytical functions that help managers understand their HR situation and thus ways to improve operations (e.g. reduce overtime) otherwise impossible with paper-based record keeping.

Improved Compliance with Government Regulations: the software is compliant to Indonesian government regulations, allowing SME’s to understand and automatically comply with complex tax, employment and insurance regulations thereby reducing their risks and uncertainty.

ITC Understanding: the implementation of a simple system with visible benefits will support SME’s in overcoming their aversion to high costs ICT investments.       

The development of SunFish HR – Small Business Edition is nearing the BETA delivery milestone. To complete the final development, DataOn is looking for SME companies willing to participate in the trial implementation phase of the HR Small Business Edition.
