Business value

Mergers & Acquisitions/ Reorganization

The solution helps avoid chaos if the integration of two companies occurs or restructuring is planned. A user can gather all relevant HR data from systems, define the new subordination scheme, roles, and responsibilities, and visualize the data in a few clicks.

Organizational Audit

HRs can use the solution to present an accurate picture of how a company is functioning and show what exactly people do and to whom they report. It brings clarity and greatly simplifies the communication process.

Resizing

The company may undergo such changes as downsizing, layoffs, reduction in force, or workforce optimization to stay healthy and competitive. It requires a thorough assessment of employees’ current roles and potential. Clearly presented data allows building the best resizing strategy and map out its implementation. It saves a lot of time and prevents frustration.
