During a recent visit by students and staff from the Industrial Relations & HRM Unit of Covenant University to the SystemSpecs office in Victoria Island, Lagos, the Managing Director of SystemSpecs Technology, ‘Demola Igbalajobi, said intelligent, committed employees of good character have played a huge role in helping the company overcome various challenges in its 30 years of existence.

The visiting Covenant University students were exposed to core HRM practice and were provided insights into how human resource management practice works with technology, as SystemSpecs Technology is a renowned provider of human capital management technology solutions and services for organisations of all sizes and structures across Africa.

John Obaro, a former banker, founded SystemSpecs in 1992 as a five-man software firm; the company has grown over the years into a renowned provider of financial, human capital management and ecommerce technology solutions, with popular products like Remita, HumanManager, and Paylink.

‘Demola Igbalajobi told the visitors that this year, SystemSpecs celebrates 30 years since inception, marking three decades of innovation and impact.

“Our challenges have changed over time as we develop. However, getting intelligent, committed staff and people of good character has helped us in overcoming various challenges over the past 3 decades,” said ‘Demola Igbalajobi.

“Our recruitment process is rigorous so that we can get the brightest of the brightest. Sound character and ethics are also important to us. At SystemSpecs, we desire people who are not only creative but also have a strong desire to create positive change in the society.”

Also speaking during the visit, Dr. Odunayo Salau, Head of Covenant University’s Industrial & HRM Unit and leader of the visiting delegation, said, “This academic visit has given us some exposure on how HRM practices can best be implemented. Now we are seeing the need to move from the conventional way of doing things to a strategic approach.”

“We can see the inevitability of technology in the practice of HRM, reflected in technology solutions such as the Enterprise Resource Programme (ERP), which I think every organisation should have,” he added.

One of SystemSpecs Technology’s solutions, HumanManager, is an all-in-one intuitive, and easy-to-use HR solution which help small, medium, and large-scale organisations across Africa to efficiently manage their payroll and HR processes.
