Linux HR Management Systems?

dgcrawford writes "A growing, 100-person company I work for is looking to integrate a Human Resources Management System into their Linux computer base. Does anyone have experience with any products that fit this need? Does it interface well with payroll, applicant tracking, maybe even finance and stock or other non-monetary compensation? I realize most of you would look at this from an IT point of view, but how did the system work across fields? And how important/useful did you find this interoperability?"

Try this

I haven't tested it, but I was looking into something similar. Open Source at least.

Applicant Tracking

Installed and currently trying this Applicant Tracking System ... http://www.catsone.com/index.php May not directly answer your question but it's an interesting HR-related app.

Lots of HR systems run on Linux

[MartijnL]

The question wouldn't be that you're looking for a Linux HR system but something that runs on Linux. There are lot's of business apps that run on Linux such as Peoplesoft. They officially support running it on Linux since april '04. SAP HR also does Linux. Lot's of smaller web-based HR systems also run on Apache/WebSphere etc. so integrating those into a Linux oriented infrastructure will not be a problem. Interfacing with the apps mentioned in the question is what every HR application should to correctly (payrolling being no.1) just make a first selection based on rough features and invite the companies over for a chat.

SAP

you could try SAP - its got an HR module - plus integration into others...
it runs on linux
it comes with source code for all the appliactions (not open source though)
it runs on an open source db (maxdb) ...
its not cheap though!

We have a simillar issue..

[robzon]

.. in our company and we're considering creating a custom solution (Ruby on Rails makes it possible at sensible cost!). Plus, it's easier to later adjust your own code rather than something written in PHP. And of course then we can map proccesses occuring in our company onto the application, not the other way round. This way is good for some companies (not for everyone tho).

ABS

[ClaraBow]

At our company we use ABS software packages which run on Linux servers and are accessed on the desktop via ANSI terminal. Very reliable, but it does it isn't free.

Tiny ERP

http://www.tinyerp.org/ has a nice HR module. Should be worth give it a try.

Brightmove ATS

[q-the-impaler]

This is a software-as-a-service system that I heard will be open sourced soon.

Tiny ERP

I've been following this project for a couple of years now. Tiny ERP is an open-source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) suite written in Python and uses PostgreSQL.

It's a client server application, with the client available on Windows, Linux and Mac. The server will run on Linux.

It has HR and many other modules that you can use. And you can use one module or many modules for your installation. It will also allow you to integrate with your existing data sources. Check it out.

Oh, and I don't work for them, just like the software.

Why not a web based application service?

[PDG]

There are a lot of them available that will integrate with your existing systems.

Authoria (http://www.authoria.com) is one such company which offers a full suite of HCM based products.
