Cegid Reviews

We installed Core HR for employee data. We use it to manage all the performance, objective settings, training requests, talent review, and the compensation review as well.

The solution is very helpful as it allows us to optimize and consolidate all the data for talent management. It helps to optimize some workflows and provides reporting capabilities. 

One of the most valuable features is the modular ability that allows customers to create customized forms to manage various processes, like performance reviews, exit interviews, or notice period assessments, without any technical skills.

I am working to find an ending solution for our needs currently for a group level.

Cost and time saving is the first improvement. We found room for many other initiatives in HR management, more linked with people management, development, and follow-up instead of administrative tasks. Additionally, we had returns on investment concerning competencies mapping. 

We are a multinational company needing people with specific knowledge for particular projects. The solution made it easier to understand the talent we had worldwide.

Meta4 is used as a human resource information system.

The most valuable features of Meta4 are payroll and resource recruitment. However, all of the features in the human resource system are useful.

We have used this solution to capture employee-related information including visa and work permits, insurance, and cost centers. Employees can add their own academic information and make requests for loans. Over time, we set up the solution to assist with payroll and performance appraisals. 

As our company has grown, we have used this solution across a number of different countries including Lebanon, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, with each area having separate data. 

I am not using the most recent version of this solution so my recommendations are based on my use of 7.01 and the latest version is 8.0. 

The API could be enhanced and an accounting solution would be included. In future releases, it would be useful to see reporting lines of all the team members in our business to understand who reports to whom. It would also be useful if payroll for the Gulf countries could be possible. 

Lastly, the reporting and dashboards could be improved. We have had to develop a bar chart on the GSP pages to show important metrics to managers such as team absence and performance. 

The solution has a good LMS. The tool provides a lot of options.

The solution is a little bit slow. It has dependencies on HR data. We’ve also had some reporting challenges. We have to define the reports manually. We tried exploring all the options provided by the tool, but it didn’t work out for us.

Our primary use cases are related to payroll.

The layer of customization is very high and this has improved our organization.

• Meta4 HRIS implementer in our company across Lebanon and GCC countries. 
• Developed payroll engine for the GCC regions and for Lebanon.
• Write an API to generate the GL entries after each Payroll and send it to the Accounting System
• Configure various Performance Appraisal Processes (Top-Down  / 360 / Parallel Evaluation) + We developed an API to do Calibration outside META4, then save results inside META4

Meta4 HCM helps us consolidate HR data across various regions. Meta4 allows various performance appraisal techniques. The cumul engine for payroll is an asset. The Temporality or Historical Data Tracking within Time is high-valued, it allow the implementation of various Organizations Changes while keeping history. The Work Unit security help manage access when merging many branches under one Organization ID

Our primary use case is to have as additional structure.

The performance appraisal is the most valuable feature.
