Technology leaders join forces to unveil latest human resources solutions

The seven-city road show, aimed at small-and-medium sized business in the region, will highlight the potential benefits of automating the essential internal HR processes including personnel, recruitment, budgeting and payroll functions; performance and career management; administrative functions and providing employees with self service options.

Speakers at the event will review the successes of regional companies that have implemented the state-of-the-art HR solution from BSH.

'The human resources and payroll software market is among the Middle East's fastest-growing opportunities. Managers are under constant pressure to properly handle employees' records, and cope with on-going changes in HR rules and regulations, while senior management is always seeking to develop skills and reward performance,' said Houssam Hatoum, managing director, BSH.

'Unlike other HR solutions, the BSH product is well positioned to respond to customer needs, as it provides unmatched flexibility in addressing the local requirements of Middle East customers. Our theme for the road show is 'flexible HR software for demanding people',' added Hatoum.

'The road show is aimed at expanding our presence in the region in collaboration and providing full integration with our partners' offerings, such as Oracle E-Business Suite Special Edition and the Sun platform,' concluded Hatoum.

The end-to-end HR solution from BSH, 'hr.eaZy', is multilingual, and runs on the robust Oracle database and Sun platform.

'Business Systems House is one of Oracle's leading certified partners in the region. BSH's HR and Payroll solutions for the Middle East are built on Oracle Database and Oracle Application Server and are designed to deliver rich functionality for both enterprise and mid-market organizations in full integration with the Oracle E-Business Special Edition. The combined offerings provide comprehensive and affordable business solutions for a wide range of organizations,' said Husam Dajani, vice president, Oracle Middle East and Africa.

As Sun's channel development provider, Tech Access is facilitating testing of hr.eaZy at its iForce Center in Dubai, allowing customers to 'test before they invest'.

'Implementing an effective HR solution is vital for continued business profitability. A flexible and fully integrated system eases the complexities of managing human capital, which is increasingly important for the dynamic SMB sector in the Middle East,' said Shomail Ghalib, managing director, Tech Access.

'The hr.eaZy software, powered by Oracle and Sun delivers optimum business performance, and is the only regionally tailored end-to-end solution of its caliber for the Middle East market,' concluded Ghalib.

The road show will be held in Dubai on April 5, Abu Dhabi on April 7 and Kuwait on April 14. The road show will also visit Bahrain, Lebanon, Oman and Qatar.
