Spring is in the air, and that means it’s budget time. That also means it will be time to negotiate raises for certified and classified staff for next year. If you are responsible for negotiations, we have good news for you!

DataTeam has just released a significant upgrade to our powerful Human Resources² module that will make negotiations a snap.

Easily compute the cost projection for different raise increases.
Coming up with cost projections for different salary increases is now fast and easy. Calculate the difference from a 2.7 percent salary increase to 3.1 percent in no time.

Interact directly with Microsoft^® Excel^®:
Version 1.3 of HR² can interact directly with Excel to import a salary schedule. By running the Summary or Detail reports by Salary Schedule, Funding Source, Location, Position or Employee, you can get an accurate assessment of the payroll cost of that scenario. It only takes a few seconds to import a new salary schedule so you will be able to run multiple scenarios as you work towards agreement for next year.

Salary schedule also exports easily to Excel^®, making publishing the schedules for your teachers and staff quick and easy.

These powerful new tools are available at no charge to clients under the HR² support program. Also, if you need help in setting up Excel® salary schedules, DataTeam can also provide that service. We’re here to help.

DataTeam is also working hard on a new version of Fixed Assets/Inventory. Packed with more features, and more robust reporting, FAI² is like a whole new program. A special version of this software—FAI²+GASB will also include GASB 34 reporting and depreciation, providing a complete audit trail for individual items and groups of items.

Watch your email for more product and service announcements from DataTeam that are designed to make your job easier and more productive. We're here to provide you with better and more timely information from which to make those important management decisions. We’re your data team!
