Client Testimony: Pat Gilroy MD of Dalkia Ireland
“Due to our company’s continuing growth, our needs were increasing for a HR system that would have the primary functionality we needed, and be easy to use and maintain. We faced the following challenges:

  • We had a budget of allocated to the project that ruled out custom development
  • We wanted something up and running immediately
  • We wanted to manage several companies within a unique global group
  • Staff entitlements may be different depending on the company they are linked to
  • We wanted to record the history of staff moving between different client sites
  • We wanted to leverage our existing HR database and data resources

DataKraft gave a demo to our HR Manager, CFO and an Access developer and within an hour we asked dataKraft to develop a custom solution based on our needs.
They presented the first version of our solution to us only 1 week later. dataKraft also let us test the application as it was being designed to validate the design which meant we had an early view of what they were doing and wouldn’t get any unwanted surprises later.
DataKraft also helped us to move from the Access database we were using to SQL Server without any hassle or downtime.
Our HR Solution is now live and has been very successful.
Since going live we have also now rolled out the solution to Dalkia Management and dataKraft was able to support the security profiles we required.
We are very pleased with the implementation and how it has performed since going live.”
