Ron Bongo on Open Source concepts and how it can provide solutions for Human Resource applications

Just like businesses have looked towards open source solutions for alternatives to customer relationship management and enterprise resource planning infrastructures,human resources information management are also starting to move away from costly proprietary systems and heading towards open source. With funding for IT resources getting more difficult for businesses, compounded by the current economic crisis that has affected most industries, many businesses are exploring the shift to open source HR solutions, much like the way many have switched from costly operating systems to Linux.

Open source HR solutions have come up with various modules that can help business with administrative, performance and other HR functions. Although some may not include payroll functions, these open source HR software can be easily integrated with existing payroll systems. Thousands have already downloaded and applied these HR solutions, particularly businesses or organizations with a few employees. Now, organizations with more than 2,000 employees are also looking towards open source as an alternative to commercial software that they have been using for years.

More and more companies continue to develop open source modules that can be applied in workplace and HR applications, with several conducting extensive beta-testing. In the next decade or so, it is expected that these applications will be used extensively in mainstream applications.
