ITQAN launches eKAWADER for Human Resources & Payroll management in UAE 21 December 2004 Region’s first centralised and integrated HR (human resources)/Payroll solution for Microsoft Great Plains v8.0 meeting the needs of local labour law
In cooperation with Microsoft Business Solutions, ITQAN the UAE's leading system integrator and worldwide award winning Microsoft Gold Partner, has just launched eKAWADER, a full-featured centralised and integrated HR/Payroll solution that allows enterprises to reduce the associated costs while ensuring procedures and best practices are followed according to local UAE labour laws.
"ITQAN built eKAWADER for the region as a commitment to add value because HR is the most valuable assets of visionary organizations and HR/Payroll policies and regulations differ across the globe," said Amal Shalabi Business Development & Marketing Manager, ITQAN. "eKAWADER is designed carefully to reduce administrative burden and enable organizations to be more responsive to the needs of their employees, while adhering to corporate policies and government regulations."
eKAWADER maintains personnel records from recruitment to retirement including dependant details and legal documents such as visas and passports. It allows organization structure to be configured up to three levels whereas the expression builder helps to set up and customize payroll rules. eKAWADER also has a built-in workflow to process and approve requisitions such as leaves, housing, ticketing & action forms. It is tightly integrated with Microsoft Great Plains v8.0 and utilizes the same user-friendly screen layouts with all the navigation using a graphic toolbar, pull-down menus, or shortcut keys.
Imad Choucair, Product Solutions and Marketing Manager, Microsoft Gulf , pointed out, "Seamless integration and common user interface with other Microsoft Great Plains modules such as General Ledger, Payables Management and Receivables Management are key success factors of eKAWADER where it will provide enterprises with greater flexibility and stronger management control."
ITQAN eKAWADER can also be customised based on individual needs to ensure the final solution provides maximum benefits whereas sophisticated, multi-level security allows the management to control access to data at any level.
