Delaware Automates its Human Resources Systems

You may have heard that the federal government is involved in several major projects to automate its human resources systems. The state of Delaware, among other state governments, is doing the same.

According to Information Week, Delaware customized 40 percent of its human resources and payroll software. This “ended up adding costs to maintenance and millions of dollars to an upgrade to PeopleSoft 8.8 that’s in progress,” Information Week reports.

The state’s technology project includes implementing online benefits enrollment, and eventually adding an online recruiting package. Delaware also plans to replace its time-and-attendance system–now done manually–with an electronic version.
