FrontlineHR

FrontlineHR™ - Technical Specification

The software is produced using ASP 3.0 written in VBScript. Data storage is provided by an RDBMS. The standard product currently uses Microsoft Access although the system can be modified for use with other database systems such as SQL Server or Oracle.

Work is currently underway on a .NET version of the system that will be available from mid 2003 and will offer the following benefits:

  • Richer client interface functionality
     
  • Improved speed
     
  • Modular design that simplifies ongoing development
     
  • Increased scalability

The use of standard Microsoft architectures ensures continued product support, security, stability and performance far into the future.

Hosted service or standalone product

The FrontlineHR™ System is available as a hosted service or can be installed directly onto your Windows-based server. Hosting is provided on our state-of-the-art servers, covered by an exacting Service Level Agreement. Dedicated Microsoft-qualified professionals provide round the clock monitoring and back-up facilities ensuring the integrity and security of all data.

Providing FrontlineHR™ as a service lowers the initial investment, reduces dependence on your IT function and allows for a faster roll-out.

Should you prefer to run the software on your own intranet server then installation is a straightforward process with free telephone support available if required. Minimum specifications for installation of the current ASP system onto your own intranet server are:

  • Windows NT server (or better)
     
  • IIS version 5 (or better)
     
  • MS Access 2000 (or better)

Please note that the .NET version (available from mid 2003) will require a Windows 2000 (or better) server with the .NET framework installed. The technical support which we can offer FrontlineHR™ provides numerous benefits including:

System benefits

  • Intuitive interface design. Practically all employees are already skilled in the use of browser-based interfaces. In addition the flow-diagram navigational system saves time and money as users are quickly able to orientate themselves to find the information they need.
     
  • Minimal system administration. Common processes are automated allowing the human element to concentrate on high value-added tasks such as interpretation and analysis.
     
  • 24/7 location independent access. System access is via a regular browser-based interface. This allows the system to support any user with Internet access. Such a facility is becoming increasingly important as more employees work from home or are required to manage virtual teams.
     
  • Fast roll out. Whether you choose a hosted service or a standalone product the whole system can be available within days.
     
  • Strong data security and privacy. All data is stored in password-protected database systems that limit access to authenticated users.
     
  • Regular data backups and redundant systems. Our hosted service provides industry best-practice backup procedures including off-site storage. Redundant systems ensure the maximum possible system up-time.
     
  • Scalability. Adding users is simple without the need to install costly client-side software. Enterprise scale RDBMSs can be used to support hundreds or even thousands of users.
     
  • Modularity. Once the system framework is in place additional modules can be integrated with minimal disruption to users.
