Over the past while, Government Departments have been introducing the PeopleSoft HR System to manage personnel data.

As the subject of HR Personnel Data and Time Recording have some important commonality, MultiTime has developed a link between theVisionTimeWeb System and thePeopleSoft HR System.

For example, when setting up an employee inPeopleSoft, say the employee’s name and number, this data can be sent over to VisionTime to save duplication of effort.

SYSTEM: VISIONTIMEWEB

LOCATION: DUBLIN - SHANNON - BALLINA

NO. OF STAFF: 1200

 

 

System Description:

 The Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local Government introduced VisionTime in 1999 and then moved to VisionTimeWeb our web oriented system in 2004.

The staff using the system are working at various locations in three centres in:-

  • Dublin, at the Custom House
  • Shannon – Co. Clare
  • Ballina - Co Mayo

Initially, the three centres ran the VisionTimeWeb System separately to each other. Then the Department decided to amalgamate the running of the systems. VisionTimeWeb Software “sits” centrally on a server in Dublin.
Now staff key in/out & look up time and holiday records at PCs in their several Offices in Dublin, Shannon & Ballina.

Staff can also access their PCs in order to make corrections – so they are “on-line” to the Central Server irrespective of what location they are in. Also the Department has gainednew staff through the mobility which has occurred due to the governments de-centralisation plan.

In conclusion, the system in The Department of the Environment & Local Government is a good example of where our users can, continuously improve the way they handle their Flexi Schemes, adding VisionTimeWeb features as they are ready for them and generally moving at the pace which they can set themselves.
