UK HR Software Solution
Making an investment in a new HR Software Solution in the UK is a fairly simple task as long as you stick to a few key ground rules. You are in the UK, so it makes sense to choose a supplier who is also based wholly in the UK.
Ensure that your short list of suppliers only contains those companies who are wholly based in the UK. You will find that some of the most popular suppliers have their development and support teams based overseas, and this is not good news for you.
Choose a supplier who has their development and support staff in the UK. Check them out prior to purchase, by insisting on a visit to their offices. Can you see the software development team, the first and second line support teams. Can you meet with the Directors? Are they the sort of people you can trust and work with?
Cascade HR and payroll systems are 100% UK home grown.
Ensure you pick a HR software supplier who has at least 40 staff. At this size the organization is likely to be well established, have a good track record, be honest and fair and have a good regard for its customers.
They will have separate teams for sales, support, help desk, development and implementation. Your investment rests with the people not the software, so check out the people just as much as the software. Software can be changed and evolved quite quickly, whereas building a team of good people takes much longer.
Avoid the companies who spend a lot on web marketing, are small family affairs, work from their home address or serviced offices and don’t have much substance behind the glossy web pages!
Remember, find out where the support and development takes place. If it’s not in the UK, then move onto the next supplier.
