COA Solutions annouce launch of OpenPeople Lite

UK business management and information systems provider, COA Solutions, today announces the launch of a new addition to its Smart Business Suite – human capital management (HCM) product OpenPeople Lite.

This ‘out of the box’ version of COA Solutions’ successful OpenPeople HCM system has been tailored to meet the needs of small to medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

OpenPeople Lite is an integrated human resource (HR) and payroll system, which comes with the benefit of a fixed fee implementation, enabling SMEs to cost-effectively manage and streamline their HR and payroll processes.

With OpenPeople Lite, smaller organisations no longer need to put important HR software purchases on hold during challenging economic times.

COA Solutions, which has a strong, established presence in the UK HCM market recognised the need for a low cost HCM system specifically aimed at organisations with 50-250 employees.

Features of COA Solutions’ new OpenPeople Lite include:

• Integrated human resource and payroll in a single database;
  
• Report writer;
  
• Fixed fees for licence, services and training;
  
• Scalable fees associated with the size of the organisation;
  
• A standard ‘ template’ implementation process;
  
• Ability to implement, parallel run and be live in time for the 2008-2009 tax year end; and
  
• Options to ‘grow’ the solution as the organisation’s needs change.
