Strategic personnel planning suite
Development of an application suite
For several years, eWorks has supported REVOLAsoft as a technology partner for the development and operation of a comprehensive application suite for strategic personnel planning in large companies.
The application suite includes programs for strategic personnel requirements planning, strategic personnel structure planning, operational personnel deployment planning, target/actual variance analyses, visualization of planning results, web-based results display for users (on-demand), interactive data adjustment by users and data exchange programs with customer systems (including SAP).
The software components are implemented according to an iterative process model in close coordination with customer requirements. The programs are based on a uniform core and a series of shared library functions. The Microsoft.NET framework with ADO.NET, VB.NET and SQL Server as well as Microsoft Access are used as the basic technology. Microsoft.NET offers all the functions required to implement the calculation and runtime-intensive algorithms. Crystal Reports and Excel as well as the individually programmed web application are used to display and process the results. The Infragistics NetAdvantage components were also used to increase the possibilities, including the convenient provision of charts.
In addition to development, eWorks also handles important parts of application operation. This includes technology recommendations, installation and the monitoring of periodic batch runs. Furthermore, eWorks supports REVOLAsoft in the execution of operational planning runs and the provision of planning results to be achieved within short time targets.
