UK HR Software Supplier
Computers In Personnel are a UK, Buckinghamshire-based, HR Software and Recruitment Solutions provider. Since being founded back in 1982, Computers In Personnel have grown rapidly from being a 1-man bespoke software provider into a dominant force within the competitive UK HR Software market, employing around 70 sales, technical and consultancy employees.
During it’s time, Computers In Personnel has supplied 1,000’s of organisations with enterprise solutions, aiding in their ability to manage their HR, Recruitment, Training and Management Information decision processes. Typically their Clients are based in the UK; however, Client offices using the systems have been as far flung as South Africa and America.
Computers In Personnel head office is located in Marlow, Bucks – however, they have also had offices based in Edinburgh and London, including regional training centres provided to supply product courses closer to the Clients themselves.
Originally a company conceived and run by Peter Watsham, Computers In Personnel is now run by Managing Director Christopher Berry, who has gained extensive experience in the IT sector over the past 25 years, holding a variety of senior posts. Berry took the role of Managing Director in 1995, and has since steered the organisation towards consistent growth and expansion.
Ciphr HR Systems
The progression of technology led to the development of Ciphr, a database-driven HR Software solution that supports the running of today’s HR teams. The product is designed to store and maintain employee records, create automatic reporting on employee data, monitor and calculate job and pay information (and automatically pass it to payroll), detail employee training records, determine succession planning solutions, chart organisation hierarchies and much more.
The introduction of HR systems effectively reduced the burden on HR & IT teams through the automation of previously time-consuming tasks – and revealed critical information regarding employee data, such as employee absence trends. These can be used to more effectively manage a Clients workforce and leads to a more efficiently monitored organisation.
In addition to the above, the use of employee intranet self-service solutions, such as Ciphr Net, has allowed HR to devolve tasks to employees themselves. Through intranet-based solutions, employees can request annual leave, record sickness, update personal details, etc. all of which previously had to be undertaken using more convoluted means, such as letters, emails or verbal contact. The time-saving benefit leads to reduced costs for the HR department (and streamlines the process) and also ensures there is an audit trail of transactions.
