Overall Satisfaction with Vista HRMS

We implement Vista HRMS for our clients. Vista HRMS coupled with the interface with our own housing software provides our clients an integrated enterprise platform. By using Vista HRMS, our Housing and Financial management software does not have to reinvent the wheel but instead leverage an off the self robust platform for human resources and payroll. Our clients being spread across different states, have varied requirements and the flexibility of Vista HRMS makes the application a good solution for us across the board.
  • Self Service is a great module which helps to cut down on calls to both the HR team and the payroll teams
  • The benefits wizard is invaluable at the time of open enrollment. The ability to customize the wizard makes it very user friendly and flexible
  • Workflows when configured properly not only cuts down on paperwork, but also ensures that everyone is in the loop and nothing gets lost
  • With the proper technical know how, the PDS Enterprise server can be use in the back end to automated processes and run scheduled job
  • Reports generated by the PDS Enterprise server. It would be nice to have more ways to display and sort the generated data
  • For our clients Vista HRMS is a key system in their enterprise platform. Coupled with the integration with our own application, our clients have a unified view of their financials without having to jump to ad hoc, non integrated systems
Vista HRMS is very flexible and also very customizable, The question to ask is how far are you willing to customize the application to fit a particular set of requirements. Most of the time no customization is required except for some custom report. But at the of the day, many PDS customers have and continue to customize the application to fit niche requirements.
