The OrgPlus Solution

OrgPlus is designed to handle each step in the organizational charting process. OrgPlus handles data import from external systems and automates distribution of data to standard desktop formats (Microsoft PowerPoint or Word), to the web, or to hard copy. OrgPlus can even be used to feed updated data back into business systems.

OrgPlus empowers organizations to create reliable business processes around the discipline of managing and communicating organizational structure and change. The benefits of OrgPlus are described in more detail below.

Communicate Organizational Information to Managers

Human Resource and IT departments can create organizational charts automatically from HR databases and distribute them to management. This process is automated using OrgPlus Professional. Charts may contain sensitive information such as salary, gender, tenure, and other information needed for decision-making purposes.

Communicate Organizational Information to Employees

OrgPlus Professional is used for communicating organizational charts and corporate directories to the company intranet or shared network. OrgPlus Professional creates predefined charts directly from an HR database, either on a scheduled basis, or whenever initiated by a chart administrator.

Sensitive information can be distributed securely to managers using existing network security.

Non-sensitive information is presented in both an organizational chart format and as a corporate directory that can be shared across the organization. Charts are communicated to employees by publishing them for web or shared-network viewing. Employees with OrgPlus Standard or Professional can select specific chart branches and save to the OPX file format, where they can be used for planning or publishing to Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, HTML, or PDF formats. Organizational chart or corporate directory information can also be exported to Excel.

OrgPlus is the ideal way to distribute corporate information. Posting charts to the web, your corporate intranet, or a shared network drive makes them a company-wide information source that connects every employee.

Organizational Planning and What If Scenario Analysis

Managers select the charts published by HR or IT specific to their departments and use them as a baseline for planning, budgets and scenarios. Managers may need to communicate with, and solicit feedback from, their employees to build a future plan. Using OrgPlus Professional or OrgPlus Standard, they can create scenarios and route them to executive management for approval. This may take multiple iterations, and OrgPlus integrates with Microsoft Excel to easily translate organizational chart data into budgets.

OrgPlus has built-in tools for performing spreadsheet functions, such as rollup summaries of salaries and headcount. When boxes include salary information, moving an employee between departments automatically updates budget totals.
