Testimonials

"Overall, Ode was the best choice for our organization" says Lisa Zangari, former SVP HR KINROSS GOLD Corp.

The biggest differentiator between Ode and other technology vendors is Ode’s superb ability to partner with our team, actively listen to our needs, and understand the challenges and key issues that prevented us from reaching our objectives.

We were at a point in our company’s growth where it became increasingly important to access accurate human capital data throughout our global organization. We were seeking a system solution that was highly intuitive and user friendly in order to maximize user uptake and increase the integrity of our data. Although we initially focused on improving data management, metrics reporting and our performance management process, we also wanted to expand our systems to support a broad range of talent management processes. Ode offered a well-rounded, integrated suite of solutions that fit our current and future strategic requirements.

A key point in our decision-making process included the need for a vendor to contribute more than technical expertise. Ode demonstrated a thorough understanding of our business issues and worked closely with us to reach our objectives and deliver solutions to fit our requirements. Furthermore, we placed significant importance on system flexibility to ensure our users could adapt the system to reflect our evolving needs, with minimal technical involvement. We are very impressed with how quickly and easily Ode’s systems can be configured to fit our business processes.

Overall, Ode was the best choice for our organization. Jacinta and Daniel are highly intuitive to their customer’s requirements and they are committed to innovation and to providing systems and solutions that are functionally robust. That indeed is a great combination and Ode has delivered!

Significant advantages in working with Ode says KINROSS GOLD

One of the significant advantages in working with Ode lies in the excellent support we have received. Our requests for assistance have been responded to quickly, and always with attitude that any problem or issue we are having is of paramount importance to them to resolve.

Ode has similarly been quick to offer assistance before an issue has arisen, and has stepped in quickly and efficiently when hands-on help has been required to complete an activity when a user may be pressed for time. “Super-users” at our various locations have universally offered words of praise for the collaborative, positive, and helpful way in which Ode has engaged with them and worked with them to support the introduction of the Performance Track software.

A unique ability (and the patience) to explain and elaborate the technical side of HR systems for the non technical HR people. Many times in both video conferences and in person she walked our teams in North and South America through the complexities of HR systems.

Jacinta asked us about our needs, kept us informed of the development of our HR systems, and always sought our feedback to improve them.

We believe that by implementing this innovative easy to use Human Capital Management system, we can streamline our employee information, better understand and manage our talent and ultimately showcase NovaGold as a company of choice where people are our greatest asset. There is an accelerating trend of employers taking an integrated approach to managing their people-related information and leveraging talent throughout the organization, and NovaGold's implementation of this comprehensive solution demonstrates our commitment to our employees
