Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Optimum HRIS is the human resources and payroll software used by the account department. All departments in the organization use Optimum HRIS for time and attendance management. Optimum HRIS allowed West Virginia Media to bring payroll back in house to save time and money, while increasing the amount of control over taxes and reporting that was lacking from using a third party payroll administrator.
Pros and Cons
  • The setup of Optimum HRIS was intense as the software comes as a basic shell and everything is personalized to our organization. All earnings codes, leave time, employee types, job codes, taxes, etc. are set up for each company. While this was almost overwhelming at the beginning, we have so much control over the set up and better grasp of the inner workings of the system.
  • Tax updates come quickly and are easily applied. This is especially welcome at year end.
  • The built-in reporting is robust and offers a lot of options, but the ability to dig in to the database using SQL and Excel allows for very powerful reports that are infinitely personalized.
  • The web interface for Optimum HRIS has been less than user friendly but recent updates have definitely shown an improvement.
  • Cosmetically (and nothing to do with functionality), reporting could be "prettier" or allow for customization.
Likelihood to Recommend
We use Optimum HRIS in a very small department and generally only one person is working in the database at a time. I would be curious to know how effective Optimum HRIS is at handling a larger number of users modifying the database on a regular basis. For our small shop, Optimum HRIS works beautifully.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We implemented Optimum solely to support our HR department which consisted of 4 Generalists, 1 HR Administrator and a Director of HR in order to support a population of 500 employees. Optimum was implemented to be used as a HRIS where we could track all employee data, changes and to generate reports based on employee data. In today's business environment there are so many managers making arbitrary decisions without notifying HR, so Optimum was our way of controlling information and ensuring that these decisions were tracked.
Pros and Cons
  • Optimum provides fields for just about everything any HR professional would need to track so I found it particularly helpful to have a system that could track Worker's Comp, OSHA and training all in one place.
  • The reporting tool is user friendly and extremely helpful when having to analyze large packets of data.
  • Setting up Optimum in our environment was also a lot easier then other systems I have had to implement in the past and their customer service was very responsive.
  • When exporting reports to Excel I found the formatting to be difficult to work with and having to reformat the reports can be a nightmare. My company's IT department created its own business tools to make the reporting format more user friendly.
Likelihood to Recommend
I would ask myself what data am I looking to house in this system before implementing. It is a very robust system so using Optimum to say only track employee personal information such as address and phone number would be a complete under utilization. I feel Optimum is best used for keeping records on employees, training records, OSHA and workers comp.

Return on Investment
  • From an HR perspective it was great being able to provide executive leadership reports that otherwise would be almost impossible to create or provide. Being able to customize a report in minutes consisting of live data was great in helping HR's credibility.
Alternatives Considered
Currently I am using ADP Workforce Now which I find to be less intuitive and less user friendly then Optimum. Making changes in Optimum as well as correcting mistakes in Optimum is a lot easier than within Workforce Now. Optimum's reporting tool is also easier and the consistency of the data flows better than most HRIS systems.
