astudio are an existing client of ours and recently they decided they needed to improve their Human Resources processes. They were using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to manage their staff information, which they found increasingly inefficient. So, they decided to take on our Rapport3 HR module to complement the existing modules they have already implemented. 

Our HR module will ensure that all their staff data is held in the same system as project data, enabling them to track their team as they keep track of their projects. As a company who truly values their staff, they can now keep key staff information available in a searchable database, including skills information and performance reviews. Not only can they therefore put the right people on every project, but they can continue to help their staff develop their skills even further by identifying areas for growth. The module also provides CPD, Benefits and Recruitment features, so astudio can make sure that they take care of their staff as people and as professionals at all times, from one place. 

We are looking forward to seeing how they enjoy using an even more integrated system with the addition of HR to their existing Rapport3 modules.
