The new versions are Performance Advisor™ and Compensation Advisor™ 7.0.3., Manager Advisor™ 1.1.1 and Employee Advisor™ 4.2.2.

Highlights of the new functionality include:

• Deeper integration of Manager Advisor’s just-in-time knowledge and coaching capability within both Performance Advisor and Compensation Advisor delivering manager support in context, during the transaction process, when managers need information and guidance the most.
• The addition of more than 30 new, out-of-the box reports and analytics that allow HR professionals to view data across their Advisor Series solutions and throughout their organizations.
• Embedded organizational charting capability allowing managers to see complex information in a visual and easy to understand format.
• Industry leading security (verified by third-party applications) assuring the highest level of security across all Advisor Series solutions.
• More than 50 key legislative updates delivering Authoria customers the latest content and compliance-related information.

Manager Advisor Now Included in Performance Advisor and Compensation Advisor
In version 7.0.3, in addition to the new functionality, Manager Advisor will now be included in the Performance Advisor and Compensation Advisor solutions.

“Our experience with customers has taught us that for any performance or compensation management implementation to succeed, the application must be easy to use and engage employees and managers; it must track compliance; and it must address change management,” said Paul Baier, Authoria’s senior vice president of products. “So we are not only more deeply integrating Manager Advisor’s just-in-time knowledge and coaching, but we are actually including Manager Advisor as part of Performance Advisor and Compensation Advisor.”

“As we advance our solutions,” said Tod Loofbourrow, president and CEO, Authoria, “Authoria continues to have three overarching goals: to provide a higher level of integration both within the Advisor Series and with customers’ existing systems; to make our solutions even easier to use and deploy; and to broaden our solution to address more of our customers’ requirements. We are committed to an ongoing investment in our technology to deliver the most robust HCM solutions in the industry.”
