Alta HR - a well-established and highly regarded Higher Education Human Resources package.
Why the name Alta HR?
Alta comes from the University of Birmingham motto ‘Per Ardua ad Alta’ and signifies not only the package’s origin, but also the continued commitment of the University of Birmingham to develop and support the package. HR (Human Resources) is really self explanatory, but it does reinforce that Alta HR is an integrated package with Personnel and Payroll functionality sharing a common database, accessing exactly the same data (given of course that the stringent security allows an individual user access to that data).
Alta HR is an independent operating unit of the University of Birmingham, with its own management board. This board has a balanced composition of University Senior Management and senior members from Personnel, Payroll and IT.
