Over the last two decades, as businesses have fought not only for profitability and growth, but often for survival, business leaders have been heavily investing in information systems to control and understand their real costs for doing business. Management information systems have enabled corporate leaders to make informed corporate decisions because of the availability and accuracy of operational data.

With vision based on business intuition and depth of human resources experience, Dr. Shayne Tracy, in 1988, developed HUMAN RESOURCES INFORMATION SYSTEMS stating “the time is upon us when corporations will be looking to have complete, accurate, available live data on their greatest resource. Information systems to give decision making data on this investment in human resources will be on the next wave of technological development.”

Human Resources Technologies Inc. is a privately owned, all-Canadian company based in Oakville, Ontario. In the six years since inception, its trademarked products Super HR and Super Trainer have been independently evaluated in the market as “the two leading PC based HRIS Software products in Canada.” Super HR is a Human Resources management information system that tracks all employee information such as work histories, benefits and salary administration, training, performance reviews and job descriptions.
