Peoplesoft is claiming to be the first enterprise system vendor to support
Apple’s web browser called Safari. Users of Peoplesoft applications that run in
the Apple Macintosh OS X environment will be able to benefit from faster
browsing and features such as Snapback navigation, which enables users to step
back through a transaction with a single click, as opposed to several. There is
also a tabbed browsing feature, which will enable users to access multiple
Peoplesoft pages in a single window. www.peoplesoft.com

Skillcypher claims to streamline the work of HR and recruitment
professionals by automatically extracting useful information from CVs (such as
a person’s skills, experience and contact details), and then placing it into a
database. Manufacturer Probit-e calls it a ‘parsing’ software package, and when
reading CVs it can break down the details that a candidate has included into an
usable information set. www.probit-e.com
