IRIS Launch IRIS Playroll a New Generation of Payroll Software Using Motion Sensing Technology to Improve Software Usability

MANCHESTER, England, March 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

IRIS Software is a leading small business and payroll software provider and is today revealing the latest revolutionary software called IRIS Playroll which harnesses the motion sensing technology of the Xbox Kinect. IRIS conducts regular research to identify the needs of the modern payroll user and in recent research the number one requirement of payroll software was ease of use.

IRIS looked at a number of solutions to make their easy-to-use existing software even simpler. Having trialled and tested a number of different solutions, motion sensing technology was chosen as it not only speeds up the time to run a payroll but this interactive functionality has so many other benefits.

Phill Robinson IRIS CEO commenting on the development said "IRIS are very proud of its 30+ years heritage of innovation and we are delighted to still be leading payroll software technology. Initial trials have been very positive, trialists have reported time-saving and improved general well-being.'’

Hannah Oakes from Peppermint Recruitment is one of the trialists and she was thrilled to comment, "It's amazing, I get to keep fit and do my job. I lost 2 stones having run two monthly payrolls using IRIS Playroll with motion sensing technology. I have also seen a reduction in sick days within the payroll department and staff are more motivated."  

IRIS Playroll with motion sensing technology will be available exclusively at IRIS from 1^st April 2012.
