The family of applications XRP is a set of tools of software directed to the management of business processes, used in most part of organisations, and conceived to work under the concept of an employee portal. This concept has the main purpose to allow employees to execute, under a self-service scheme, all the several tasks they have to fulfil, avoiding tasks with no added-value, reducing bureaucracy and the costs of operation, and increasing the cohesion of the organisations.

We have divided the applications in two groups according to the purpose.

Applications for the support of development of human resources:
XRP |Performance Appraisal and Goals Management
XRP |Competencies Management
XRP |Training Management
XRP |Talent Management
XRP |Salary Review
XRP |Recruitment

Applications for the support of administrative management of human resources:
XRP |Employee Portal
XRP |Contract Management
XRP |Vacations, Absences and Assiduity
XRP |Expenses Management
XRP |Benefits Management
