Company "BOSS. Human Resources Systems, "the developer of the human resources management system BOSS-Personnel, released in June 2011 a free edition of the system - the edition of BOSS-Personnel Express. Since the end of June 2011, BOSS-Personnel Express has been available for free download on the company's official website.
The version of BOSS-Personnel Express in terms of functionality is identical to the basic version of the system, which is successfully used by hundreds of Russian enterprises of almost all sectors of the economy, as well as government bodies.
In terms of performance, the free edition of the system is suitable for enterprises and organizations with up to 1000 employees. This category includes small and medium-sized businesses, individual enterprises of holding structures, management companies separately, state unitary enterprises, housing and communal services enterprises and municipal services, health care organizations and institutions, regional and municipal authorities and administrations, universities and other educational institutions.
BOSS Human Resources Express may be an optimal human resources tool for growing small and medium-sized enterprises that are still subject to tight budget constraints when choosing software, but already face the typical difficulties of a large human resources business. Among the difficulties that usually begin to manifest themselves at enterprises with a number of employees from 50-100 people, an increase in management workload, the real emergence of HRM processes, the complication of accounting for time worked and production, the emergence of complex schemes of motivation and compensation, the emergence of systematic requirements for competencies and professional skills of personnel. And all this against the background of complex and constantly changing legislation of the Russian Federation in terms of payroll calculation and reporting to tax and pension authorities.
The release of a free version of BOSS-Personnel is another step in the implementation of the new business strategy of BOSS. Human Resources, "which involves, on the one hand, expanding the BOSS-Human Resources product family to cover the maximum number of target categories of users of corporate information systems, on the other hand, optimizing the software delivery channel to consumers on principles typical of open source software.
According to Tagir Yapparov, chairman of the board of directors of the AI group of companies, for a long time it was natural for corporate users to build the entire infrastructure and maintain it on their own. But this model is a thing of the past. The efficiency of owning IT systems, as a rule, remained low, while organizations needed increasingly complex solutions, but many of them did not give the necessary returns. At the same time, all the risks fell on the shoulders of the customer, the costs were very high and often did not pay off. As a result, Yapparov noted, there was a persistent rejection of such a model by buyers. Of course, the IT industry could not help but try to offer customers more effective models. Such an attempt was the introduction of open source systems, which sparked heated discussions about the feasibility of their use in the corporate market, but this model has proven to be effective, and currently all large companies use open source software in a certain part of their information landscape. The next attempt is related to the Application Service Providing model, in which applications would be available as a service and the infrastructure was also offered as a service. However, in technological terms, the market was not ready for it. Today this concept has returned under a new name - SaaS, and at the current stage of technology development it has proven its worth, and the growing popularity of cloud services has finally confirmed that this model works, it remains to resolve only issues regarding its implementation, Yapparov is sure.
Parking.ru (Inoventica Group of Companies) and BOSS. Human Resources Systems "implemented in September 2011 a joint project to provide a human resources management and payroll system for BOSS-Human Resources in the form of a" cloud "service. Enterprises and organizations were able to use one of the best Russian HRM systems remotely according to the "Software as a Service" (SaaS) model.
The main advantage for customers was the lack of the need to find server capacity within the company, to deploy the solution, to attract technical specialists and redeem licenses. Customers who decide to subscribe to the service receive at their disposal a full-fledged virtual server on which the BOSS-Personnel Officer in the Express edition and all related software are deployed. At the same time, the system itself is physically located in a secure cloud on the server facilities of the telecommunications center Parking.ru
The new model for using the BOSS-Human Resources system is designed to simplify all steps related to familiarization, acquisition, development and further operation of the system as much as possible. For customers to get familiarization access or to start real work, it is enough to go through a short registration procedure on the Parking.ru website and add a new service to the control panel.
Users are offered two tariff plans with a cost of 7,000 rubles per month for 5 users. The senior tariff plan includes the ability to automatically install updates to the BOSS-Personnel system from the company's servers.
