Real time view of employee data delivered in the way you want it: plug into Self Service; deploy our desktop app, embed into your intranet or access via iPhone, iPad and Blackberry. Whatever device you use, we’ve got it covered.
Ditch the interface: real time workforce information sourced from Oracle HR
Get the right data – right away.
Every large enterprise has an internal directory accessible from their intranet, displaying basic contact details such as phone numbers, email addresses and other organizational information. But in this age of Service Orientated Architecture, many directories still take basic data from spreadsheets or file extracts, requiring maintenance from IT teams. Rarely are directories real time, often refreshing days after the source data has changed.
Your Intranet, Your Choice
Employee Directory offers a real-time view of employee and contingent worker details sourced directly from your Oracle HR database, so you get the usual contact information plus other useful stuff like who reports to who, where an employee sits in the hierarchy and who’s on leave. Built with cutting edge web technologies, the solution can be easily incorporated into any existing Self Service HR menu. Alternatively, it can seamlessly integrate into your corporate intranet pages, without requiring the user to login to Oracle.
Time to get Mobile
More people are now accessing the internet from mobile devices than from desktop devices. The solution also ships with companion apps for iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Android based tablets, delivering employee information to where you need it the most. All delivered in the same patch, included in your licence price.
Upgrade your intranet: our web services are part of the package
Web, Desktop and Mobile Editions are all powered by the same Web Services that we deliver out-the-box, allowing you to pull real time employee data from Oracle into any internal web page of your choosing. If you want to keep your internal phone directory looking the way it’s always done, point it to our web services to enjoy real-time, accurate data without any change to your front end.
