VAADO Launches New HR Self-Service People and Employee Performance Management Software

LONDON, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

HR Self-Service Software Developer Leads With "Online Generation" People and Performance Management Software - so Intuitive it has a Near-Perfect Employee Adoption Rate

Vaado Software http://www.vaado.com launches the most intuitive, easy-to-use, multi-language human resources (HR) software for people and performance management available on the market today. Vaado People© is a fully web-based, modular HR self-service software application with integrated employee and management self-service functionality. Vaado Performance© is also web-based and manages the employee performance management and appraisal process, together with all of the associated management reporting and analysis.  

The Vaado software suite was developed in 2010 against a rigid development timeframe for some very demanding large enterprise customers. It is now available, as a tried and tested product suite and has already been deployed in English, French, Spanish, Portugese and German.

Intended for use by companies or departments from 50 to over 5,000 employees, all of the software has been designed using the latest Microsoft Silverlight technology, adopted by the majority of web-browsers and operating systems.

Vaado Software's Operations Director, Paul Ashford comments, "Our goal was to develop HR software for the online generation. Software that doesn't need a training course - it's just as intuitive to use as Google or Facebook."

Ashford continues, "We expect instant near-perfect employee adoption or it hasn't worked. Our first three sites have achieved just that - an unheard-of success rate!"

The initial implementations have taken place in the publishing, media and construction sectors and were successfully completed by Vaado Software's team, but the product will also be sold via a network of software resellers, who will implement the software for their clients. The first of these is HR consultancy, plusHR, who advised and supported Vaado on the first implementations.

Sharon Crooks, Director of Consulting for plusHR comments, "Simple, clean, flexible, intuitive - it's more like using a social media product than traditional, clumsy, enterprise software. We have been delighted with how well everyone picks it up - it's very much a 'just do it!' piece of software. Our users love it."
