SDMS Synopsis – Staff Development, Personnel and Recruitment Management - for Server Based Computing in the modern computing environment.
PERSONNEL AND TRAINING INFORMATION ANYWHERE
Increasingly, Personnel and Training Managers need access to their business applications anywhere and at anytime. The need to access information on employee skills, retirement dates, holidays and availability or scheduled training, for example, can no longer wait for a return to base. Modern server based computing technologies make this a reality.
SDMS Synopsis is the latest edition of SDMS software for Staff Development, Personnel and Recruitment Management, designed to take full advantage of today’s leading server based computing technologies. This technology supports the aspirations of leading practitioners in Personnel and Training Management by facilitating devolved and collaborative management models for people in organisations. Lower cost of ownership make this an immediate and practical reality, overcoming many of the organisational and technical bottlenecks, which may have plagued early Human Resource improvement projects.
SDMS Synopsis is a special edition of SDMS V, supplied with embedded Citrix MetaFrameTM Licenses. Both Citrix MetaFrame 1.8TM and MetaFrame XPTM are supported by SDMS Synopsis.
Server based computing presents major advantages to SDMS user departments and organisations, allowing full deployment of the product over low bandwidth networks and with web enabled browser based deployment.
Server based computing has evolved a long way from the green screen terminals of yesterday’s mainframes into a technology that can today provide almost any application to almost any desktop or handheld client, from WindowsTM applications to Apple MacsTM.
Today, the most prominent technologies in server based computing are Citrix MetaFrameTM and Terminal Services in NT4 Terminal ServerTM and Windows 2000TM. As a Citrix Independent Software Vendor (ISV), SDMS Ltd is able to deliver this premium Citrix technology embedded with its applications.
Combining this technology with SDMS Synopsis provides the end user department with a wide range of implementation options and benefits in the planning and management of Staff Development and Personnel. The blockages often experienced in devolving critical aspects of personnel to Line Managers - such as appraisal or training needs analysis - can be easily overcome with the lower costs and flexibility of SDMS Synopsis deployed with Citrix MetaFrameTM licenses. With a widely dispersed workforce, common data supports Corporate and Team Development. Placing the management of these functions at the lowest organisational level can also improve the accuracy and up-to-dateness of Personnel and Training Data, while ensuring that it remains centrally co-ordinated and available across the organisation as a whole.
Where the end user requirement is for the full functionality and richness of SDMS V Software, whether for Training Administration, Personnel or Recruitment, and this is required for web deployment in internal Intranet, then SDMS Synopsis is fully web-enabled.
