ROCHELLE PARK, N.J. (ContentDesk) November 4, 2005 -- The Janis Group, Inc. (JGI) a Software and Professional Services firm specializing in HR / Payroll / Benefits Systems, Enterprise Integration, and Consulting Services, today announced that three prominent companies have implemented the JGI Compensation Management product SalaryXL to improve their salary planning processes.
These clients have experienced significant improvements in productivity and business performance following the installation of SalaryXL into their HR environments.Panasonic, Adtran, and Noven Pharmaceuticals are three very different organizations with three very different salary planning cycles and procedures.
However their complex compensation management process shared common burdens:
They were all forced to work within a paper-based evaluation process that produced time-consuming and error prone results; Organizational and personnel changes during the salary planning cycles and an ability to monitor compliance hindered and complicated the processes; Their unique HR/Payroll infrastructure, compensation evaluation calendar and specific compensation business rules would require a customized solution that proved difficult to find.These industry leading organizations chose JGIs SalaryXL because they were impressed with the dramatically lower cost of ownership compared to other solutions.
SalaryXL promised to drastically reduce the cost, effort and time to execute Salary Planning cycles and eliminate errors that can cost these companies significant dollars.
But what set SalaryXL apart from all other solutions on the market was that it leveraged their existing Excel spreadsheets, using a robust database-driven salary planning application that still allowed managers to access the system via the Excel interface with which they were already familiar.
And they could also take care of their salary planning tasks either online or offline at their convenience All with little or no training.
SalaryXL also exhibited strong integration capabilities to leverage the organizations existing ADP, Lawson, PeopleSoft, or Oracle HRMS.????As we began researching the market for a Compensation Management solution, we had very strict parameters of what we wanted to bring in-house, explained Isabel Daguet, Director of HR Operations for Panasonic.
We had a particularly arduous merit cycle in place and the process took a minimum of four months to complete.
We needed to find a solution that could be integrated into our HR infrastructure quickly, have our end-users trained swiftly and reduce the merit cycle process noticeably.
With a pre-existing relationship with JGI already in place and a confidence in their abilities based on our history of satisfaction, we were thrilled when we saw the capabilities and scope of their Compensation Management offering, Ms. Daguet continued.In less that four weeks, SalaryXL was implemented into our environment, our end-users were trained in a matter of days, and our merit cycle has been reduced to a four week process.
The strength, customization, and ease-of-use of the tool has made our Compensation Management nightmare completely disappear.
We never expected to have this product integrated and accepted so quickly.
It has unquestionably improved and simplified our Salary Planning process, Ms. Daguet concluded.About JGIThe Janis Group Inc., (JGI) was founded in 1982 by Michael Janis as a Software and Professional Services firm specializing in Human Resources / Payroll Systems.

(ContentDesk) May 2, 2004--In this book, the primary objective of the author is to make Americans aware of the message contained in chapter 12. This chapter describes a proposal now before congress that may provide full salary retirement income to those who retire under this plan and in the process save Social Security and Medicare.The problems of concern to Social Security and Medicare are projections; it is projected in the very near future these social programs will not have sufficient income to support the benefits that must be paid to future recipients.The solution is simple, either increase income or reduce projected future recipients and the plan described in the book reduces future recipients by offering retirees full salary retirement income in lieu of benefits paid from these social programs.The plan is paid for by the employers and while paying for this plan the employers convert 40% of their current payroll expenses into new taxable net gain and most importantly the employers...

Microsoft Great Plains on Ctree or Pervasive SQL ? what to do ? tips for IT manager
As you probably know, when Microsoft purchased Great Plains Software ? the whole strategy for Great Plains Dynamics/eEnterprise line was changed.
Initial GPS strategy was to maintain DB platform independence ? via it's C-written engine Dexterity, based on the believe that C programming language is platform independent.
So ? Great Plains was running on MS SQL Server, Ctree (Faircom ? if you remember 1995-96 Macintosh era), Pervasive SQL (Btrieve).

Coming to a Business Like Yours: Webware
Whether you sell a product, a service, or a combination of both, those who are successful have one thing in common... an efficient back-office. But the "cost" of an efficient office has meant using complex accounting and order-entry programs that are hard to learn and can require a computer expert to network many machines together. The software companies have not been standing still during the past two years. They have heard their customers complain and many of them are now coming out with what is often termed "webware" or web-services.
Web services were first made popular by the on-line stock brokers like Ameritrade. The concept spread to banking, then to payroll services like PayCycle and now to the full back-office such that all of the major order-entry, billing, reporting, and financial functions of the office can be done on-line with services like JAYA123 (http://www.jaya123.com) and the Oracle Small Business service.
