We think of eCAPPS (electronic Computer Assisted Position Pricing System) as a process, not a product. We work with you every step of the way to ensure your compensation system is designed to fit your needs exactly.

The end result is the installation of eCAPPS.  In its simplest terms, it is a point-factor job evaluation system that has been statistically regressed against the market to predict the value of jobs that don't have good market place matches. In other words, you are able to determine the market value for all jobs, even when there is no salary survey information available.

The eCAPPS Job Evaluation System goes even further to combine with your Human Resource Information to produce reports that allow you to make informed, timely compensation decisions.

The eCAPPS Job Evaluation System is extremely accurate in predicting the market value of your jobs, no matter how you have them organized. It is also very flexible. We work with you to customize it to your needs.

When you have different groups of jobs that you hire from different market segments, your job evaluation system should have the flexibility to predict the value of jobs in those different markets. Our eCAPPS Job Evaluation System has the unique ability to do that that extremely well.

If, as an example, you need to predict the value of clerical office jobs using local salary comparisons, trades and labor jobs using local salary information, and professional and management jobs using national, industry specific salary surveys for professional and managerial jobs, we can customize it to meet those needs. Your version of eCAPPS will have the exact job families that you need for your situation.

We will customize your version of the eCAPPS Job Evaluation System to include job evaluation factors that reflect your corporate culture as well. As part of the process, we help you through the difficult and time-consuming task of articulating your job evaluation factors.

We also help you to determine which of your many jobs should be used as benchmark positions for the purpose of building your job evaluation system. The benchmark jobs are the sample on which your entire system is built. Once the benchmark jobs are identified and priced, using surveys with which you are comfortable and familiar, we work with you to evaluate them using your new factors.

When the job evaluation factors are written, and the benchmark jobs are identified, market priced, and evaluated using the proposed job evaluation factors, we run all of the complicated statistical regressions that are used to build your version the job evaluation system. We program your eCAPPS Job Evaluation System software and install it for you on the Web, ensuring that it is as accurate as it can possibly be.

When the process is finished, your version of CAPPS is uniquely yours. It will be designed to your specifications. It will be extremely accurate and easy to use.  And, you can access it from anywhere in the world, anytime.  You will have your own, unique eCAPPS Job Evaluation System on our Web Site.
