In 2004, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania decided that too much of the information it was collecting about its 100,000-plus employees wasn’t being used effectively. Additionally, there were too many errors in data, and employees were spending too much time trying to create static org charts. Since the Commonwealth was implementing SAP for Enterprise Resource Planning, it decided to search for a centralized organizational charting solution that could integrate easily with SAP while helping HR professionals do their jobs.

The Solution

OrgPublisher for SAP Solutions by Aquire. This solution met two goals for the Commonwealth: giving them the ability to visualize and access the data in their current HR software system, and automatically updating their org charts with workforce information changes once they completed their implementation of SAP. Additionally, OrgPublisher was able to present actionable information regarding strategic workforce strategies such as workforce planning and organizational restructuring. Eliminating wasteful, repetitive practices has not only saved money, but time, creating more efficient workforce management processes and higher employee satisfaction rates.
