In-memory analytics capabilities are also embedded in the system. Unit4 described BusinessWorld as designed for people-centric businesses [otherwise known as service businesses], offering several domain-oriented Experience Packs: Smart Budgeting, Communities, self-driving Payroll, Appraisals and Requisitions. It can be deployed in the public or private cloud, or on-premise. Both products are based on the Unit4 People Platform, an open architecture system that also made its debut this week. In a prepared statement, CEO Jose Duarte said, "The People Platform represents a new approach to delivering business applications for service industries and government. We are focusing our innovation efforts on closing the gap that exists between workforce expectations for application simplicity and increasingly complex business realities."
