Emma Vernon, HR Officer at APMG comments,

"Our perceived benefits for implementing the system are:

• Streamlined HR processes
• Increased resources within APMG
• Improved accessibility for personnel to relevant records
• Ability to access HR information via a web connection
• Greater accuracy for personnel records
• Audit trail would be automatically created and updated
• Improved Reporting Capabilities
• Personnel files would be backed up in case of a disaster
• e-HR System would be more environmentally friendly
• Abiding by our 'forward thinking' company value

I liked Cascade's system because it,

a) Appeared to be the answer to heavy and time-consuming administration
b) It was engaging, easy to use and allowed me as the HR user to customize the system to suit APMG
c) It could be accessed anywhere in the world and so allowing the benefit to be spread to all of our employees (not just in the UK)."
