City on the ball with new HR system

Independent HR software provider Cascade has joined forces with Manchester City Football Club to implement a new system that will streamline the club's human resources processes.

The software, provided by Cascade, based in Pudsey, Leeds, will allow the club to replace its outdated, manual, paper-based processes and spreadsheets with an internet browser-based system, enabling consolidation of data and a reduction in paperwork.

Pat Myerscough, the club's systems technology analyst, said: "We wanted a system that could be tailored to match our own look and feel in terms of the club's brand but, more importantly, we sought software that could be used by 'non-techies'. We were impressed by what Cascade had

to offer."

Heather Vitty, client services director at Cascade, added: "For an organisation such as Manchester City Football Club, change happens on a daily basis, so the utmost level of flexibility is required within the HR department."

She added: "The ease of integration means that the system will work with the club's existing IT infrastructure and other business packages in the future."

A pilot group of users is familiarising itself with the self-service module before it will be rolled out to the whole organisation.
