IBS Group Completes the First Stage of Implementing an Automated Human Resource Management System at Gazprom
RAMSEY, Isle of Man, January 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Please refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document
IBS Group, a leading software development and IT services provider in Central and
Eastern Europe, announces that IBS IT Services, a member of IBS Group, has successfully
completed the first stage of implementing an automated human resource management system at
Gazprom: the system's module "Accounting and Payroll" has been commissioned.
The project was launched in 2009, after IBS IT Services had been chosen as the General
Contractor for HR management automation at Gazprom. The final product of the project,
which is scheduled for completion in April 2013, should be one of the industry's largest
HR databases (covering over 100,000 employees).
Before the project began, Gazprom Group had no single HR database, which prevented
staff benchmarking across the Group. As a result, corporate analysis, planning and
controlling personnel costs, or projecting the need for employees with certain
qualifications had to be done with high margins of error and much effort.
To address these issues, the IBS team focused on faster information processing,
reduced effort for Gazprom's HR management and reporting processes, and implementation of
an effective competence-based management system to provide transparency and enhance the
effectiveness of HR management, and delivering an integration solution to be aligned with
reporting systems across Gazprom's subsidiaries.
Currently, the new HR system services over 400 users in the Gazprom Administration and
more than 700 users in its subsidiaries. When completed, the system will be used by all
the employees of the Administration (2,000 users) and 4,095 employees working at HR
departments of Gazprom's subsidiaries.
