“I really value the increased flexibility and accessibility you get with iTrent. I could be on holiday in Majorca and using my phone I could process expenses, claims, leave requests – whatever I need. For the end user, this speeds up workflows and makes everything more accessible and useable – a great improvement from our old ERP system.”
Neil Jones, ICT Lead at Warwickshire County Council
"Thanks to MHR, our new solution was deployed 100% online, without any face to face contact. We could not have achieved this without the flexibility of iTrent, the MHR team and the Cherwell District Council and Entec Si joint partnering.”
