While it can be used to grant access to a variety of applications, the product itself runs only under OS/400, because it is the most secure platform on the market, according to company officials.

    September 6, 2005 Alex Woodie

    SSA Global wasted little time incorporating technology from one of its most recent acquisitions, Boniva Software. Last week it launched the version 2.0 release of its Human Capital Management (HCM) suite. The new release of the Java-based employee management suite bears the employee recruitment, learning management, and performance assessment capabilities developed by Boniva, as well as new self-service capabilities and enhancements to payroll and benefits modules.

    It’s been less than a month since SSA Global acquired Boniva Software, a Santa Clara, California, developer of Java-based e-learning, skills management, and performance management software. At the time, SSA Global chief executive Michael
