Suggest three (3) specific reasons why you would recommend that system over the other. Human resources database software typically offers a myriad of features. Some manage hiring and training while others management benefits and performance management. Triton HR & Payroll are the 2 commercial HR database systems that I will be reviewing. After reviewing them both, I recommend Payroll as they have a seamless end-to-end HR solution that includes recruiting all the way to termination. The software addresses recruiting, on-boarding, time & attendance, payroll processing, benefits, coaching and performance management, and terminations. It is a very through system that allows for easy implementation and costs less than the Triton HR system. Although the Triton HR system does contain many of the same features, what it lacks is the fluid transfer of information and reduction of paperwork. Overall the Payroll system is more efficient, effective, and affordable than the Triton HR system.
