Schmidt Ocean Institute Selects Adonis AS Personnel Manager to Automate HR and Payroll Processes for Flagship Research Vessel
Adonis Personnel Manager enables Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) to consolidate and streamline crew rotations and payroll on a single platform.
BERGEN, NORWAY -- December 1, 2014 -- Adonis AS (Adonis: www.adonis.no), leading providers of global maritime HR solutions, today announced that Schmidt Ocean Institute (SOI) has selected Adonis Personnel Manager (APM) to automate crew rotation and payroll for the R/V Falkor, a technologically advanced scientific platform that supports multidisciplinary oceanographic research and technology development. Adonis’ solution will integrate a shore-side hosted version of APM with the server aboard the R/V Falkor, assuring seamless synchronization of data and providing greater administrative flexibility. This is particularly critical as the R/V Falkor has no home port, is always in motion, with crews rotating from different locations.
SOI provides its collaborators with free access to the R/V Falkor and her on-board research facilities and expert technical support, in exchange for a commitment to openly share and communicate the outcomes of research collected on board. Previously, SOI used spreadsheets to enter and update crew profiles, records and rotations; in addition to automating HR and payroll, APM will be integrated with the R/V Falkor's ship management, inventory and procurement systems.
Sigrid Kviteberg, Adonis Project Director, said, "We couldn't be more delighted to be associated with SOI and their work in advancing our understanding of the world's oceans by making their platform available to scientists across the globe -- for free. We've worked with SOI's IT, HR and financial teams in configuring APM to improve their HR and payroll processes and simplifying the day-to-day administration of the R/V Falkor, allowing them to focus more resources on achieving their core mission and research objectives."
 
Schmidt Ocean Institute is a non-profit organization established to advance the frontiers of ocean research and exploration through innovative technologies, intelligent observation and analysis, and open sharing of information.
