SuccessStories > Remodeling a HRMS site

Stylus Inc team has helped to remodel a HRMS site which focused on processing and recruitment of nationwide applicants for advisory positions in a large multinational financial company.

1. Scheduled several routine tasks were eating up a lot of employee time.
Manual form-based processes were automated by putting them online. Now the site is a virtual ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) solution with all employees relying on data generated by the site for some purpose or the other. It has become indespensable for day to day functioning. We made sure that the jobs run successfully.

2. Several data sources caused a logistical nightmare
We recommended and implemented utilities on the web site that helped manage logistics and task reporting. Earlier the concerned parties were in different locations and this threw up a logistical challenge. Now, one data source ties up all divisions (internal and external) in a streamlined fashion.

3. Manual creation of innumerable summary reports
Summary reports creation is the most dreaded task for managers because of the amount of data that needs to be sifted through before creating the summary. With data being entered into a database through the website centralized storage of data was possible. Also, reports can now be generated on the fly-with the most relevant and updated data being displayed. We also made sure that these reports were more interesting - with the usage of visual aids and graphics. Even Adobe PDF files can now be created at the click of a button.

4. The "development rush " and underperformance
Sometimes, the development team works against impossible deadlines. It's but natural that the best defined programming practices aren't followed during such times. What our application maintenance team did was to go through important files that are accessed often and then tunes the pages for higher speed. The end results were that the HRMS site responded as much as 50% faster after these tuning efforts.

5. Database-driven web applications tend to run slowly
Any web application worth its salt is a database driven application. Hence, database tuning speeds up processing multifold. Our maintenance team looked into all aspects like the efficiency and real-time performance of this web application.

6. No job is too small for us
a) Content modification and updation: Keeping in mind the fact that search engines pay more importance to freshly updated content it is imperative that content on the site is frequently updated and modified. We work on such updations. In addition, we also tweak the content to ensure that the meta tags and titles contain the necessary search terms that users key into search engines.

b) Many hosting sites charge abnormally high rates to do simple, routine jobs like database changes or backups. We do it as part of our regular job.

c) Authentication and verification of data entered in the site . We could create a customized verification software or engage our employees in manually mining the data and giving you the information u need.

7. Errors that occur during run time
Run time errors caused by database inconsistencies have to be set right then and there. How many times have we seen ugly run time errors that remain on a website days after they were first encountered? Most people never return to a site where they encounter a programming error. This reflects on the level of professionalism of your site. A maintainance contract could be taken for, say, 2 months after the site is rolled out, to weed out bugs that escape the eyes of QA (Quality Assurance) and creep up on you only during run time.
