HRIS Advice please

Jo

Hi All,

I have just started working for a manufacturing company that recognise the need for an HRIS but the two Directors/Owners are completely against a cloud-based version as they are concerned about ownership and security of data.

I have experience of CascadeGo and implemented it in my previous Company.  This was cloud based and offered flexible payment options.  The company are currently considering OpenHR but their current HR Consultant has reccommened MyHRToolkit (which is cloud based).  I understand setup costs for a server-based version are in the tens of thousands which seems risky to me!

I want a system that has the potential to manage data, documents, appraisals and perhaps with payroll as an add-on as we are also looking to review the way we handle payroll.

Any advice regarding the pros and cons of server vs cloud-based options?  There seem to be so many products out there that I don't know where to start!  My leaning is towards the cloud-based versions since they are more flexible but I need more than this to take to the Director.

Thanks in advance

Jo

  • Hi Jo,

    Perhaps approach it from the after-sales support side of things. In my opinion a cloud based system would get better after sales support as if something is not working correctly they don't have to try and get access to your servers to figure out whats wrong. If it's located on your servers then you are relying on your IT support which may be fine for the sever but probably for the actual system may not be ideal. At least if it's cloud based the provider can get straight in and investigate and it's not going to suddenly stop working if your sever throws a hissy fit!.
