Fort Worth, Texas June 7, 2005/VNEWS/ -NOW Solutions, Inc. (NOW Solutions-News), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vertical Computer Systems, Inc. (VCSY.PK), today announced that the company's premier Human Resources Management System (HRMS) and payroll solution suite emPath® is now available for the IBM DB2 Universal Database.
emPath® for DB2, consists of a fully secure web based HRMS suite including: recruiting, position control, benefits, absence and attendance tracking, employee reviews, career planning, payroll, employee/manager self service and a powerful full featured workflow engine to reduce or eliminate paper.
NOW Solutions' HRMS suite offers a unique and powerful formula builder capability optimizing ease of use and flexibility for organizations that need to handle complex payroll and benefits without the need for costly modifications.
