Delivering on promises is not something you usually expect from
anything virtual. Starting from the various Anti-virus softwares you
installed to protect you from security threats to websites promising
you unmatched service for even personal matters like finding you
the perfect life partner – promises often fall short in the virtual
world.
However, the concept of Cloud Computing is still gaining huge
popularity world over. Business enterprises seem to be developing a
global trend of believing in the promises of Cloud Service Providers
in spite this technology being completely virtual as it is delivered
How secure is your Data on the Cloud?
How intuitive is your Cloud solution?
According to the 2012 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report,
there were 855 incidents of data breach globally with 174 million
compromised records. The study in 2010 states that, 86% of all security
breaches were possible with the help of stolen login credentials.
What is the use of a cloud solution which does not customize itself to
integrate with your existing system and for which the end users need
to be trained separately? Moreover, if deployment takes ages, and you
lack a proper Operational Service Level Agreements (SLA), your cloud
solution is nothing but a sitting duck.
Growth uninterrupted
with Security, Scalability
and Simplicity
over the Internet. Cloud Computing Portals & Enterprises are
providing solutions to several business challenges like Profit
maximization with overhead cost-cutting, Data Storage &
Computation and even Human Resource Management.
In the context of HRM, Cloud Computing has ushered in many SaaS
based HRM tools which promise you the world. However, many of
them fall short like their other virtual counterparts due to lack of a
coherent planning, supporting technology and most importantly
data security measures.
How scalable is your Cloud Solution?
If you own a Private Cloud, the scalability is infinite. But what
about the SMB’s who can’t afford huge initial Capital
expenditures (CapEx). Public Clouds are their most affordable
option resulting in reduced CapEx and OpEx, but there is a
slight compromise in scalability. However, this compromise is
negligible as most Public Clouds offer a pay-per-use model of
payment and thus can easily scale up or down as per your
needs.
In the Trend Micro survey conducted in six different countries
with 1200 respondents from companies with at least 500
employees, it was found that 13% of respondents had a public
cloud in production and another 43% were implementing or
were in the midst of piloting a public cloud.

2. Security
Every SaaS solution has a definite network architecture with
different layers of servers. We secure the data at three levels -
Physical and Network security, Web application security and
Database security to protect the Confidentiality, Integrity and
Availability of the application.
The Data Security Best Practices followed by PeopleWorks’ are
summarized as follows:
• PeopleWorks is hosted on a Public Cloud from servers
belonging to Bharti Airtel, Noida.
• An effective Business Continuity Plan is in place with daily 4 hr
Backup at a different Data Center in Noida
• All our servers are equipped with Multilayers of security and all
our data transfer is secured with SSL certificate based 256 bit
encryption.
• Measures for Disaster Recovery will be in place by 1st June,
2013 from our DR site at Pune.
• In addition to the above, Tertiary database backup servers with
a different service provider, are ready for deployment.
• Real time Monitoring of both the application, network and data
traffic are in place to minimize Security threats.
• IP for Source code protection is in progress.
• PeopleWorks essentially uses Role based access with unique
user logins to restrict user access to servers.
• There is an effective Anti-virus protection for files uploaded
by the users.
• With strict Data security SLAs in place we assure clients with
the Zero Error Toleration, 99% Uptime and latency less than
150ms with clustered servers.
• All our servers are secured behind a firewall with its only web
server in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which restricts any
unauthorized access to servers.
Enter PeopleWorks
PeopleWorks is an end-to-end Employee Lifecycle Management
solution that integrates all aspects of an employee’s tenure with
the organization. It is a Cloud solution based on the Software as
a Service model (SaaS) with supporting technology to deliver its
promises of Data Security and Operational Profit maximization
and efficient HRM to optimize productivity.
Now that we have stated our claims let’s analyze them one
after the other to prove our point.
Scalability
The primary advantage of Cloud Computing is its need based
scalability and flexibility. As PeopleWorks is hosted on a Public
Cloud the scope for scalability, though not infinite, but is
comparatively easier and less expensive than a Private Cloud.
The pay-per-use model of PeopleWorks makes it easily
scalable. Depending on the size and niche HR needs of your
workforce, you choose the number of modules you want to
implement. As the spike in productivity widens the scope of
your enterprise and your Employee strength increases in
number, you gradually upscale without any downtime, usually
associated with Private Clouds.
Simplicity
Time Utility is one of the most important factors deciding the
success or failure of any product or service. The fact that
PeopleWorks is implemented in as quickly as five working
days, makes it a winner of sorts among its competitors. The 5
step implementation procedure of Project Kick-Off Meeting,
Requirements Gathering, Configuration, User Acceptance Test
and Go live & Training are sure to take into consideration the
specific policies and needs of your organization and its
workforce. Even our Operational SLA’s are so governed that it
ensures you the best solution to your query within 3 business
days. The presence of a dedicated Customer Success Manager
to every Client is also one of our value additions to further
ease your plight by providing a single point of contact for query
resolutions and exigencies. Moreover, the highly user-friendly
interface of PeopleWorks helps in developing a unique user
experience. Even the system upgrades are done in such a way
that it does not affect you at all.
With the strong focus today on ensuring confidentiality and
privacy of customer information, it becomes imperative for
cloud-based vendors to comply with regulatory mandates in
order to keep their solutions secure and gain the trust of their
clients. Combining technological compliance with next
generation architecture, we offer you the ticket to break away
from traditional ERP solutions.
If you are still thinking about calling us for your PeopleWorks
Demo, maybe you need a moment to digest that seriously
some people deliver upon what they promise. Hope your
organization’s growth is soon delivered too.
