Epicor Software Corporation has announced the availability of its latest human capital management (HCM) solution. Epicor HCM version 5.7 is a complete human resource information system that automates HR processes, enabling companies to track, manage and analyse employee data throughout the entire employee life cycle. The release encompasses enhanced global and localisation capabilities to manage the global workforce.

The product is a single integrated solution to support a full range of services for future deployments. It expands the global framework and services to configure data fields that reflect the appropriate format based on a user’s location. The framework customises the ability to show or even hide certain fields, depending on the country. Users will have the ability to translate data field labels, field content and reports into English, French-Canadian and Spanish. To easily access employee information, the product features ‘Deferred Authentication’, which uses a web service to validate the users’ credentials to the customer’s Active Directory server and securely store the domain user name and password, without the need to keep users constantly linked to the other side.

The ‘Service Draft-Web Services’ feature allows customers to gain all the benefits of task logic for inserting or editing data, without having to run a task from the front end. When the data is uploaded to the system, the Application Programming Interface validates information to help ensure data integrity when records are added to the database. Additionally, leveraging enhanced web services capabilities of the Epicor Service Connect business integration platform enables the product to easily access Epicor enterprise resource planning payroll for check processing including pay rate, benefit deduction and direct deposit information to help streamline processes.

The company provides flexibility for implementing the solution - on-demand as software as a service subscription, hosted or on-premise licence - including an entry-level option, Epicor HCM Express. Designed for rapid implementation focused on core HR capabilities, Epicor HCM Express offers an intuitive user interface.
