====== peopleSuite middleware ======
The [[https://doku.moodlearning.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=peoplesuite_v1.1_compressed.pdf|peopleSuite]] middleware is an app that sits between peopleSuite (HRIS) and [[peoplesuite-biometric-devices|biometric or RFID devices]]. It enables an organization to gather the time and attendance of its employees and integrate the information into the [[https://doku.moodlearning.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=peoplesuite_v1.1_compressed.pdf|peopleSuite]], a human resource information system (HRIS). The [[https://doku.moodlearning.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=peoplesuite_v1.1_compressed.pdf|peopleSuite]] has **time and attendance**, **payroll**, and **personnel information management** modules.

====Functionalities ====
  * recording of login/logout instances by employees, with the use of either fingerprints or RFID cards
  * aggregation of records from different time and attendance devices
  * multi-entance, multi-exit; multi-in, multi-out. This goes well in buildings or offices with multiple entrances and exits.

==== Requirements ====
client or implementation site:
  * Windows 7 or 8 or 10 computer per [[peoplesuite-biometric-devices|biometric/RFID device]]
  * compatible [[peoplesuite-biometric-devices|biometric or RFID devices]]
  * reliable local area network (LAN)
  * [[https://doku.moodlearning.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=peoplesuite_v1.1_compressed.pdf|peopleSuite]] service (cloud or on-premise)

==== How it works ====
{{ ::middleware_workstation.png?300 |}}

Each [[peoplesuite-biometric-devices|biometric or RFID device]] talks to the peopleSuite middleware that in turn communicates directly with the peopleSuite HRIS (Human Resource Information System), if there's available network connection. If not, the middleware keeps the log data and re-attempts to connect to the peopleSuite HRIS through its Aggregator Table that will compile log information from various IDing devices before finally incorporating the information into the HRIS. This assures fault tolerance in an otherwise robust networked environment.

The peopleSuite middleware works for either cloud or on-premise installation of [[https://doku.moodlearning.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=peoplesuite_v1.1_compressed.pdf|peopleSuite HRIS]].
