AlfaInsurance LG (HRMS - BOSS-Personnel)

AlfaStrakhovanie Insurance Company, a member of the Alfa Group financial and industrial consortium, has fully transferred personnel accounting and payroll to the BOSS-Personnel software platform. The insurer's central office has enjoyed the decision since 2008. Automation of personnel accounting in the regions took exactly one year and ended in February of the current year. The implementation was carried out jointly by the IT department of AlfaStrakhovanie SG and ATI. The cost of the project amounted to several million rubles, the customer company told TAdviser. According to market participants, the implementation budget of this scale can reach $500 thousand.

The updated BOSS has centralized the human resources functions throughout the territory of its presence. As Alexander Korshunov, project manager of the AlfaStrakhovanie IT department, clarified, 50 system licenses were purchased, more than 100 registered users in the system itself. AlfaStrakhovanie HR-system coordinates personal data of several thousand employees of the company. One of the features of the project is the implementation of a solution with a single database: regional users work using a remote connection through the Citrix Systems terminal server. This technology has been used by the company for more than five years to access all centralized information services.

According to Alexander Korshunov, the main problem point of the project was the conversion of data from various HR systems used in branches and the start of users' work in a new unified system. To solve the first problem, converters were developed and organizational measures were carried out to check the migrated data. The second issue was addressed by training employees in branch offices and organizing user support at critical moments in the system, such as payroll, for example.

On this, the difficulties of automating human resources in the insurance business are not limited. As Vladimir Osipov, Director of the BOSS-Personnel Implementation Department of ATI, commented, the territorial branching of the insurers' divisions requires careful distribution of users' access rights to the system data for each level of divisions.
