Genesys Cofounds OMG's Human Resources Working Group Established HR outsourcer and software vendor will help Object Management Group develop interoperability standards to ease system integration and change management Methuen, MA — November 8, 1999 — Genesys, the Methuen, Mass.-based provider of software applications and outsourcing for human resource management and payroll services, today announced that it has joined the Object Management Group (OMG) as a founding member of the Human Resource (HR) Working Group. The group, formed in response to the need of large, complex organizational entities to bring together disparate human resource functions and information, is charged with laying the groundwork for HR system interoperability at the application level. "Across the entire scope of enterprisewide applications and information management challenges, few elements are as important to organizations as their people and their organizational structures," said Steven Munini, director of advanced development for Genesys and co-chairman of the OMG Working Group. "However, standard specifications have not existed for such entities as the employee, various organizational relationships, and other key HR-oriented objects. The lack of generally accepted standards in key areas was the driving force behind the formation of the HR Working Group." Other members of the HR Working Group include Amy Griffis of Cyborg Systems; Rob Mickley of Gazebo Software Solutions, Inc.; Stuart Altenhaus of MITRE, who also serves as technical advisor to the technical director for the Office of Secretary of Defense; and cochairman Bob Buckley of the U.S. Department of the Navy. At the group's next meeting, to be held November 14 through 19, 1999, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, members will vote on an RFP for a generic organizational-structure facility. There will also be presentations on the group's mission, its current activities, and plans for the future. To learn more about the HR Working Group, review a draft of the RFP, or to obtain information on attending the meeting, visit www.omg.org/homepages/hr/.
