Aquire’s OrgPublisher application uses existing human resource data to automatically generate graphical, interactive org charts containing as little as 100 employees or as many as one million employees. Existing human resource data can be accessed from virtually any source, such as Oracle, SAP, PeopleSoft, ADP or Excel and Outlook email lists. Users can view accurate org charts, reporting structures, employee profiles and contact information, as well as utilize search capabilities for additional information access.
