Many consumer apps delivered through the cloud are often eyed as freely accessible work tools to aid a person in completing his tasks. These are ready to use and available at no cost making them very attractive to small businesses.
But while tapping the latest technology to improve coordination within the organization and enhance business operations is definitely a step in the right direction, one should be wary of how these cloud-based platforms are used especially if confidential and critical information is being shared.
Take the case of web-based storage services where a person can access his data anywhere and across different devices. It has been in the news that such providers can very well check what’s inside the files if they want to and this has become a serious concern. The message that can be gleaned from these incidents is the same; this is not the way to store highly sensitive information.
Business owners, including those who manage small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), can sleep better at night by utilising customisable IT solutions also powered by the cloud. For instance, if one needs a single data repository for all the personal information of his growing workforce he is better off giving iSuperSuite HRMS a try.
iSuperSuite HRMS is an integrated HR and payroll software package that is offered by Asia Hawk via an Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore grant (iSPRINT). Thus, SMEs have the option to apply for the Increase SME Productivity with Infocomm Adoption and Transformation grant to defray the cost of deploying the software.
Employee information, from a person’s home address to his monthly salary, is deemed crucial and classified data. It is important that these files are stored in a highly secure manner. iSuperSuite HRMS can do the job and keep the data safe plus a whole lot more.
It provides a centralised system that every staff can access for self-service functions, allowing them to check and request for applicable benefits anytime, anywhere. This web-based system makes it easy for employees to access their own information and even empowers them to personally update their records to make sure their data are correct.
Of course, the employee only has access to his own data and he is granted this access for as long as he works for the company. This is another data security measure that ensures only the right individuals have access to company files and systems.
It has other capabilities that can help safeguard information such as assigning access rights by department or program, allowing a company to limit the number of people who can see all employee data. In this way, it can be confined to just the HR managers or applicable officers. Another useful feature is the transaction logs to effectively monitor who accessed the files and when.
The advantages of using specialized IT solutions like iSuperSuite HRMS outweigh the risks that come with cheap consumer web-based apps and platforms. Ask for a free trial at asiahawk.com or +6347 7778
