By implementing a new system, a company can keep everything from personal records, performance reviews to payroll information and labor costs all in one place.

SharePoint Marketplace has decided to release a new application tool called SP HR. This application is designed to give businesses that already have Office 365 a new platform to track and manage their HR departments with reduced complexity.

In 2001, SharePoint, an intuitive Web application platform was initially designed and released by Microsoft (News - Alert). This solution included everything including content management, document management, and Web tools. The tools are designed to be used by both technical and non-technical users. In the past ten years, Microsoft has released upgrades that have significantly broadened the Web-based programs capabilities to work more cohesively with Office 365.

“The SP HR application is designed to turn SharePoint into a human resources tool so management teams can keep track of employee records, such as hiring and termination records, time off requests and performance reviews,” said SharePoint officals in a statement. “For Office 365, users it offers cost-effective SMB solutions for 365 products for companies working on a budget.”

In addition, the application will allow administrators to monitor important tasks via an activities page, collaborate in a department forum, track company news, and deploy the product through Office 365 – giving staff the ability to connect online at any time and from anywhere.

The new application can be purchased in three separate plans. Users who already have Office 365 can add-on the application for an additional $25 per month, per user and those looking for unlimited users can pay a one-time free of $1,495 or purchase a business suite for $7,495. Regardless of which license is purchased, all customers will have the option of adding on Office 365, a great option for any company looking to streamline operations.
