PrismHR Pulse FAQ

This FAQ is for October, November & December 2018 renewals only.

 

What did PrismHR announce regarding Pulse?

Over the past year, PrismHR has made many significant improvements and upgrades to PrismHR products, infrastructure, and the team. This is significantly enhanced by the recent acquisition of NetWise, the creators of ClientSpace. All of this has been done with the goal of providing you with a greater competitive advantage in the market. These improvements help you to achieve the significantly higher growth rate that PrismHR customers see compared to those using other platforms.

As part of this ongoing wave of improvements, we have added a new module to the PrismHR core system. PrismHR Pulse, powered by ClientSpace technology, helps you take a more proactive approach to client satisfaction and improve your team’s productivity.

Is Pulse a required enhancement to PrismHR?

Yes, Pulse is core to the PrismHR platform and will be activated for you automatically. Pulse will help you be more efficient and improve your business through deeper insight to key data, greater efficiency and organization for key workflows, and dramatically improved client satisfaction. In fact, by simply having and using case management software, organizations show an average return on investment between 120% and 230%*.
