DAT Online

Making sure the policies have actually been read

DAT Online is a Microsoft SharePoint add-in for confirming that people have read the documents that matter. Business partners and staff are expected to follow company policies and procedures, and when those documents go unread or misunderstood, mistakes follow, along with compliance failures and exposure to legal action. The add-in lets an organisation target particular policies and procedures at specific groups of users, set a reading deadline for each document and track each reader's acknowledgement of the content. A manager can then see who has read and accepted a document instead of assuming it.

The company behind it

DAT Online is offered by Agitavit, a Slovenian software firm that says it has worked on digital projects for nearly two decades, since 2003, and that more than 130 partners have trusted it with their projects. It describes its work as tackling business challenges with digital products and services, and builds custom-made solutions where nothing on the market fits. It reports having received ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its information security management system after an audit.

eHRM for human resources

Agitavit's main product on its site is eHRM, a modular system for human resources. Its modules let a company digitise HR processes step by step, according to its needs, timing and investment. The areas named include recruitment, to speed up finding and attracting talent; continuous performance management; rewards; training; career path design; and a culture of feedback, where managers can quickly gather opinions on colleagues' work. The firm says eHRM has been developed over fifteen years, drawing on its own experience and clients' suggestions, and that a redesigned version has been released with a more intuitive layout for HR staff, managers and other colleagues.

Consulting and a communication platform

Its consultants start with an analysis of the company's situation and objectives, then help design HR processes and support adoption of the new approach. The firm also builds Digital Agora, a communication platform for companies with many staff who cannot reach internal tools remotely. It cites more than 7,000 employees of the national railway connected through it.
