The Workbrain ERM system contains several modules, including time and attendance, statistical analysis, self-service human resources functions and a community network.

This is a much broader vision than that of competing vendors, which tend to concentrate on timekeeping, Hamerman says. In the pilot project, Workbrain will eliminate nearly all the manual steps that now bog down the payroll process, he says. Tests have shown that using Workbrain improves the accuracy of the system as well; employee inquiries about pay have dropped. Pruneau also likes that Workbrain provides a permanent, easily accessible record of pay and hours worked, which has made analyzing expenses and overhead quicker, he says.

But companies considering Workbrain should be aware that the implementation phase is complex and requires an intense effort, Pruneau says. British Airways underestimated what resources it would take to bring the project to fruition. It required a full-time project manager, at least a few people to document work rules and user requirements, and a full-time user administrator to train users and handle questions.

Once the servers were up and running, IT stepped out of the picture. IT doesn't control the application; the business side of the company gets the problem calls and complaints first, then brings in IT. Although Workbrain's forte is handling what Ossip calls "high-volume, high-value" transactions like clocking hours worked, the system also handles the low-frequency tasks that employees need to do, like updating personnel records.

Workbrain will eventually expand that side of the product and create "life event" workflow processes that guide employees through the human resources steps when there's a major change in their lives, like getting married. When it comes to employee management systems, says Giga Information Group's Paul Hamerman, there are two approaches a company can take. One is to examine problems from the perspective of the company's human resources department and focus on improving the department's efficiency.

The other is to take the employees' view in an effort to make them more productive in their jobs. Back-end ERM systems fall into the first category, while Workbrain's system fits the latter.
