"We are currently using paper time tracking, but hope to switch over to a phone based program, such as MITC Software. We would like the phone system to be integrated with the payroll system. We track a lot of employee's expiration dates for different certifications and would like the HRIS system to generate reminders in advance."

"We currently use ABRA as our HRIS system (where we keep track of all personnel, personal information, time off, etc). We are thinking about possibly getting a new system. If not, we need to find a way to link our ABRA system to our Kronos timeclock system and our ADP payroll system. Right now we enter the information in 3 separate times and if we could get it down to at least 2 times, that would be great."
