| Roadmap for the Future |
| Mon 08:30 am
| A decade ago at the HarrisData User Conference, we announced and previewed the layered architecture that allowed you to leverage browser and 'green screen' user interfaces side-by-side in your HarrisData IBM i applications. That approach allowed you to continue to leverage your investment in the software by preserving your critical system extensions and allowing them be used from both interfaces. In 2013, we're announcing a whole new approach - one that allows you to make choices about where and how you deploy your applications. Cloud or on-premise? IBM i5/OS, Unix, Windows, or Linux servers? IBM DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL databases? PC, tablet, or phone clients? The choices are yours. Our new approach lets you leverage your strengths, choosing the platform that makes the most sense for you. Further, a new focus on web services makes integration with other applications and web sites easier than ever before. Like we did a decade ago, we'll continue working with you to preserve the investments you've made in extending and customizing the applications as we move forward. Our new Strategic Product Roadmap insures that your HarrisData and RTI Software applications remain your applications of choice for another decade. |

| Serving You Better |
| Tue 08:30 am
| Wouldn't it be nice if your software could automatically detect a problem, send a trace file to HarrisData support, and have a developer working to fix that problem before you even knew it was a problem? That's just one of the benefits of moving to a web-based architecture in the next generation of HarrisData software.
A web-based architecture represents a significant change for HarrisData software, but is a transition that we can help you achieve with minimal disruption. HarrisData is committed to remaining the software of choice at every HarrisData customer, and is preparing to offer a variety of new programs that will increase the value of the solution and services to you.
Hear Dan Drvaric, head of Customer Support, and Greg Walker, head of Research and Development, discuss the positive impact a web-based solution from HarrisData can have on you and your business. |

Educational Sessions
|
| A New Approach to Customizing Output Files Using PHP |
| Tue 11:00 am
Brookfield 3
| Information systems like HarrisData are often called upon to create output files in specific formats. Whether an ACH file for your bank, a tax filing to a government agency, or an enrollment file for your benefit provider, many of these files contain standard information that must be customized to meet the specific requirements of the recipient. This session reviews the PHP architecture and coding techniques used by HarrisData to meet the challenge, and to enable you to quickly create customized electronic files to meet any unique requirements you encounter. |
| |
| A New Approach to Overlays and Output Customization Using PHP |
| Mon 01:30 pm
Brookfield 3
| Using PHP allows HarrisData to leverage new techniques for creating overlays that offer flexible output (fonts, colors, etc.), with pinpoint control (within 1/72 in). The new HarrisData HRIS product is the first to leverage this new approach to create documents such as Pay Statements and W2s, making it easier than ever for payroll staff to meet the requirements of the business. Output from the process can be created in one or multiple PDF files, which can be stored, archived, e-mailed, or presented in the browser. |
| |

| Tue 03:00 pm
Wisconsin 3-4
| The new HarrisData HRIS records and stores financial transactions at the most detailed level possible, insuring transparency in what is fed to the General Ledger and detailed compliance with any audit requests. In the new Payroll, most accounting requirements are satisfied by assigning the right account numbers to the right entities. But by using advanced techniques such as Smart Account Numbers, allocations, and automatic intercompany processing (with or without automatic eliminations), virtually any accounting requirements can be handled automatically. This session provides an overview of the key accounting issues, using common payroll situations to illustrate HarrisData solutions. |

| |
| HD5.0 Widgets and Filtering |
| Mon 01:30 pm
Wisconsin 1-2
| HarrisData Widgets allow you to customize what information appears on each page without programming - allowing you to create a solution that fits your business requirements perfectly. You can control the pages so a given user sees the information appropriate to their role in the organization. For example, material handlers should see an item's description and how much of it is in inventory, but they should not see its cost. Similarly, a salesman may be able to see outstanding invoices and their balances but should not be shown the costs associated with those invoices. With HD5.0, HarrisData also allows you to create a list of your favorite filters for a page. Some examples of filters would be "all product on quality hold" or "invoices to a specific salesperson which exceed $500.00". Attendees will leave this session with a clear understanding of how to make and manage Widgets and Filters. They will also have an appreciation for how they can be used to better manage processes and improve access to information. |

| |
| Importing Data in the New HarrisData HRIS |
| Mon 11:00 am
Brookfield 1
| Getting data into the system is critical for getting started, but can be equally critical on an ongoing basis. During initial implementation, you may import large data sets like employee master files. After you are 'live' on the system, you may use imports to regularly upload pay transactions, deduction transactions, PTO transactions, and more. The new HarrisData HRIS solution makes importing data easier than ever before. If you can get the right data into a spreadsheet, you can import it. This session will show you how. |
| |
| Integrating with HarrisData Web Services |
| Tue 03:00 pm
Brookfield 3
Tue 03:00 pm
Wisconsin 6
| Integration is what drives value in information systems. HarrisData software integrates a wide variety of business functions into streamlined processes, reducing data entry and minimizing errors. In many cases, value can be created by integrating third-party or home-grown software with HarrisData. With the growth of cloud computing and the rise of multiple servers in the data center, older integration strategies that relied on program calls and parameter lists are no longer sufficient. The long term view of integration must allow a program running on one of your servers to integrate with another program running on entirely different servers - or even in the cloud - seamlessly and reliably. This session uses the example of a time capture system running on you internal network that needs to provide data to the HarrisData payroll system on the cloud to illustrate the key concepts of integration in a web-based world. |

| Processing Payroll in the New HarrisData HRIS Pt 1 |
| Mon 02:30 pm
Brookfield 1
| Once your new HarrisData HRIS is configured to match your organizational policies, and you've loaded in your employee's basic data, you're ready to process payroll. In the new HarrisData HRIS, payroll is all about automation, and allows you to simply verify and adjust when necessary. First, you'll put your Payroll Calendar into the system. Then, the system will automate the process of assigning Pay Transactions (and other imported transactions) to the right Payroll/Paycheck. The system will calculate (and re-calculate as necessary) each Paycheck individually, automatically creating premium pay transactions according to overtime and shift rules, PTO transactions according to plan rules, benefit/deduction transactions (both employer and employee sides) according to plan rules, tax transactions (employee withholding and employer expense) according to current regulations, payment transactions according to employee wishes, and accounting transactions to handle allocations and intercompany issues. You'll be able to drill down through the payroll, evaluating the numbers and looking for any issues. If you find an issue, you'll correct the Paycheck and recalculate it - interactively and in real time - and see the results immediately. Then you'll approve the payroll, and finally create ACH files (or Bank Checks) and accounting feeds. This session will walk you through each step of the process, so you'll know what to look for and how to make changes when you need to. |

Implementing the C3 Portal allows merchants to offload the storage, processing and transmission of sensitive cardholder data from their IBM i server(s), ERP/MRP systems, network and web sites, dramatically reducing their “scope” of PCI oversight and the associated costs. Curbstone assumes the bulk of PCI responsibilities on behalf of the merchant by being the custodian of all sensitive cardholder data. Further, C3-hosted data will continue to be seamlessly integrated with your current order fulfillment and financial applications, just as it is today, but through an encrypted, PCI compliant, real-time IP connection. |
