Innovation & Technology


A
Cutting-Edge Approach
Empower harnesses an industry-standard,
innovative and cutting-edge technology, coupled with unique design and
programming techniques, to offer a robust, efficient, effective and flexible
suite of integrated browser-based HR software services and solutions. Paired together, our human resources and payroll, workforce management, time and attendance, tax compliance and other ancillary products
create the complete package of human resources software and services that enable
you to recruit and retain employees more effectively than ever before.
Empower’s suite of solutions was developed from the ground
up using Microsoft .Net 3.5 framework. This technology provides the ability to
quickly build, deploy, manage and use security-enhanced Web services. The
Microsoft stack includes everything needed to develop and deploy a Web service
connected IT architecture: servers to host Web services, development tools to
create them, and applications to use them.
The Web Services we designed are the building blocks of the Service
Oriented Architecture supporting our suite. Empower’s solutions transcend
company boundaries by exposing services via the Internet to allow sharing of corporate
information with related systems, external sources, business partners, vendors,
employees and managers, through carefully designed and secured connections.
This architecture promotes enhanced productivity, flexibility and
competitiveness.
Revolutionary Design
Empower institutionalizes the
way employers store, maintain, control, manage, report and process employee
related information throughout the employment cycle, from recruitment through
hiring and employment until termination and beyond. Empower intertwines with
other Web 2.0 interactive services, delivered through the Web, which allow
employees to take greater ownership of their own experiences within the
organization.
Designed by HR Professionals, for HR Professionals
The Empower suite was designed and written by human
resources professionals who have strong background in both custom and package
human resources solutions. The organization of the applications and the overall
design of the user interface reflect an understanding of today's needs of large
human resources departments, providing a delicate balance between functional
requirements that work best for individuals, and relational database and
processes requirements for improving storage and access time that work best for
computer applications.
An Enterprise-Class Approach to Application-Level
Security
Empower starts by identifying, verifying and restricting
user access using digital certificates. Our technology then encrypts the entire
transport of information across the Web, and keeps the entire database
encrypted, protected by firewalls and isolated from the application.
Maximum
Scalability
Empower
suite was designed with scaling in mind to ensure the ability for expansion and
growth without degradation as the demand for services increases. Scalability is
delivered though a multi-tier architecture that consists of four tiers, each
responsible for a separate function: Presentation, Web Services, Business Logic
and Data Services.
