SilkRoad Technology Launches New Core HR Product; Opens Door to HRMS Functionality in Life Suite(TM)
Addition of Human Resource Management System to Widen SilkRoad Product Offering, Pave Way for Greater Flexibility for Versatile HR Solutions Provider
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Sept. 30 / / - SilkRoad technology, inc., a leading provider of talent management solutions, announced today the addition of proprietary Software as a Service Human Resources Management System (HRMS) to their award-winning Life Suite at the HR Technology Conference in Chicago. Andrew J. "Flip" Filipowski, Chairman, President and CEO of SilkRoad technology, made the announcement, and unveiled the new name: HeartBeat, core HR.
"The addition of our core HR solution, HeartBeat, to the Life Suite(TM) enables SilkRoad to extend what was already an unparalleled package of talent management and HR solutions for employers both large and small," said Filipowski. "The Life Suite is the broadest product line in this booming sector of the SaaS industry, making HR managers - as well as their entire organizations - more effective, efficient, and productive."
The new core HR solution allows secure and reliable access to key HR information for both employees and management by creating a "system of record" to store all employees' core data. With the solution both workers and managers have access to and can act on HR information relevant to them. The HRMS also allows for easy creation of analytics and reporting, from complete organization charts and headcount reports to specific business unit and work analytics, offering insight and strategic value in managing enterprise human capital.
The new SilkRoad HeartBeat product contains many innovations for a core HR solution, including:
- Integrates with Life Suite- Integrated with SilkRoad's award-winning
and market-leading strategic talent management solutions in
recruitment, onboarding, life event management, performance
management, succession, compensation, and learning management.
- Visibility into your complete workforce- Built around the employee to
support any number of worker-types, giving the unique capability to
manage all full-time, contingent, vendor-supplied or any other worker
type in one system. Organizations gain 100% visibility into their
entire workforce in real-time while supporting unique rules and
processes for various worker types.
- Streamline all system actions- Providing an innovative user experience
that streamlines all system actions, HeartBeat supports both
person-based operations and action-based operations. The innovative
"save/load" user capability acts similarly to an e-commerce shopping
cart, allowing you to persist a group of users throughout the system
to make performing multiple actions for a group of users efficient.
- Integrates with cloud computing solutions- Designed ground-up for
cloud computing, based on a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), with
a host of integration services to enable the solution to integrate
with various cloud computing and/or legacy solutions.

permissions at any intersection point(s) of organizational metadata
(e.g. based organizational structure, report-to relationships, project
relationships, GL codes, etc.).
- Handles needs of global companies- The HRMS solution is ready for
needs of large, global companies with business rules and workflows
based on various organizational metadata, including the ability to
apply special rules at any level, or intersection point of the
organization. Support for multi-company roll-ups.

round-trip integration with multiple payroll and benefits providers to
support different options available across disperse domestic and
international points of presences.

capabilities includes business analytics, employee and manager
self-service, payroll management, benefits management, time and
attendance and leave management.
