The Sapien platform has been carefully architected using state of the art Microsoft technology. With a 100% web native approach, all Sapien services are scalable and well suited for Managed Hosting, ASP/Subscription, and E-Provisioning deployment methodologies. All user and administrative functionality is 100% web based, requiring nothing more than a web browser and no Plug-Ins or Active-X controls. All HRMS and HCM functionality is modular and integrated via a single platform with cross-functional workflow, query/search, reporting, administration, configuration, and setup. Modular design lets you select the functionality that you need, when you need it.

Using XSLT templates and XML for presentation of data enables screens, fields and messages/workflow to be configured quickly using Sapien’s tools and utilities. Deployable on a web server farm, Sapien offers improved performance, scalability, and fail-over support. Sapien conforms to Microsoft's DNA Architecture and supports dual firewalls offering more robust security, as demanded by today's Hosted/ASP/Subscription, intranet, and extranet deployment scenarios.

Reporting
Sapien engages a world class reporting tool, Crystal Reports (Business Objects) as a fully integrated tool with the Sapien platform available for all HRMS and HCM functionality. In addition to the inherent strengths of Crystal, the Sapien platform offers ad-hoc reporting, report wizards, report libraries, and batch reporting. Point-in-time, effective date, and historical reporting provides past or future-oriented snapshots of your organization for trend analysis and business planning. An extensive library of pre-defined reports is included.
|
Search and Query
Powerful search capabilities quickly locate information about people, positions, and organizational units. Records can be easily grouped into sets for data entry and reporting. Filters and sets can be saved for individual users or shared with other defined users and groups. Layered and conditional query design is simple and available for comprehensive use. Filters can be used/saved and run against any form or report facilitating repeat activities.
|
Configuration
The Sapien platform is truly configurable, not ‘customizable’ for the on-demand Software-as-a-Service, and E-Provisioning customer. Setup of custom fields, tables, validation and business rules is easy making rapid implementation a reality. With administrative training, customers can truly become self-reliant.
|
Workflow
An integrated workflow engine streamlines administrative processes, increasing productivity and improving service delivery by automatically routing tasks, authorizations, and triggers, managing the flow of information. E-mail support integrates seamlessly with any MAPI compliant e-mail application, enabling emails to be generated within the Sapien service. Automatic alerts can highlight issues if processes stall or for example, key performance indicators are exceeded. The linking together of forms and reports can be configured for data entry facilitation and configuration of navigation menu trees allows for suppression or availability of functionality.
|
Security
Advanced single sign-on security based on hierarchy of user roles and sub-roles eases security administration and provides for the higher levels of granularity required for enterprise-wide use. All forms, reports, screens, filters, workflow processes, and data elements can be secured to the user/group level. Record and row-level security is available.
|
Data Integration
Native support for XML improves integration capabilities with payroll, benefits, and other systems through new XML data interchange technologies. The Sapien DTU (Data Transfer Utility) allows business rules, conditions, and parameters to be built into initial data loads and successive data refreshes to accommodate position control, hierarchy, terminations, change of titles, etc.
|
Position & Hierarchy Control
Employee, position, and organizational database structures address both private and public sector requirements and enable position control to handle complex tracking of items like multiple incumbencies, multiple incumbents, vacancy tracking, and complex relationships like candidacy and candidates. Position management allows for companies to uniquely define each job within the organization, dramatically improving the effectiveness of workforce and talent management activities. Tools are available to leverage on any employee, position, or organizational hierarchy in your ERP or use Sapien tools to manage multiple hierarchies (supervisor, mentor, dotted line, divisional, etc. ) and their relationships. Matrix organizations can easily be accommodated for both HRMS and HCM needs.
|
Roles Management
Comprehensive self-service (manager and employee) extends use of your service beyond the HR department, enabling everyone in the organization to participate. Intuitive, easy-to-use self-service interfaces ensure that users can quickly access information and complete tasks with little or no training. Clear on-screen help and links to "how to" client-authored documents provide all the assistance that's needed. The roles-based approach automatically presents the user with the appropriate interface (and data) according to his or her role and country/currency of location.
|
HR Global Data Warehouse
Sapien offers a robust platform for collecting and aggregating vast amounts of data from disparate and disconnected tools and databases like Payroll, ERP, HRMS, HCM solutions, and more. The Sapien architecture is scalable enough to handle hundreds of thousands of records and sophisticated tools are available to import data with validation and business rules either one-time or based on scripted, subsequent data imports. Once all of your organizational data is in the Sapien database, which is completely hosted and managed by Sapien, powerful reporting and analysis tools can be used to derive useful information like global HR headcounts by entity, comprehensive global view of skills and competencies, budgeting, project staffing, compensation analysis, and more. All Sapien products are multi-lingual and currency, roles can be defined by specific end-user languages, and all validated lists can be translated easily by administrators. Unicode and double-byte character sets are supported.
|
Reorganization Management
Sapien’s platform provides tools and functionality to assist organizations with mergers, acquisitions, divestures, and other reorganization efforts. The ability to manage HRMS and HCM data from multiple organizations and data sources to best plan proposed strategies for your workforce is critical in a successful M&A activity. Using Sapien’s configurable data import/export and mapping tools, and ability to manage multiple data sources within the same application, Sapien’s tools are ideal for aggregating data from multiple ERP solutions to create a temporary planning environment. Fully integrated organizational charting, for multiple organizations, with your HRMS and Talent Management data, allows for visual representation and planning of multiple organizations. Also available are what-if and recording tools to visualize, create and save different scenarios.

HR Metrics
Due to the strength of the Sapien platform, with all HRMS and HCM functionality and data fully integrated on one platform and one database, combined with the power of integrated Crystal (Business Objects) Reporting, HR Analytics is finally a reality. In addition to leveraging on data in your Sapien solution, a robust data integration tool is available to manage multiples data sources (like full ERP) with intelligent and configurable business rules for different formats, sources, structures, and capability to manage security, hierarchy, and entity relationships for one time import and subsequent refreshes. The ability to mine, analyze, and report against data, using the Sapien Analytics, allows HR to become a true strategic partner is driving enterprise objectives. Scalable and measurable key performance indicators, metrics, and trends can be available within mouse-clicks.
