COMPANY PROFILE

Back in 1983 in Australia, ‘Frontier Software’ created a ‘Complete Human Resource Information System’ and the payroll and HR management software product ‘chris’ was born.

Since that date, chris has evolved with the times - we’ve regularly shaped and enhanced our payroll and HR management solution to satisfy both the growth in user expectations and technological advances. These include three-tier client/server technology, Internet/Intranet enabling and ODBC, Oracle and SQL Server access. In addition, seamless integration with word processing, spreadsheets and email access are available. The latest product is called 'chris²¹'.

Frontier Software has a turnover of over £16.5m (2005) A$45m, and with a policy that 20% of profits is spent on research and development, it’s no wonder that our customer base is continuously expanding as we constantly evolve to meet the demands of changing markets.

Frontier Software has, and always will boast an International outlook. 1990 saw operations commence in New Zealand, and in 1991 the first United Kingdom office opened followed by Singapore in 2002.

Today, with offices throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom, Frontier Software is one of the world’s leading payroll and human resource management software providers. chris is sold directly to end user organisations - we have installations in 12 countries with a licensed user base of more than 1300 clients spanning all industry sectors.

In addition to the development, marketing and end-user support for the product, Frontier Software also provide a payroll bureau/outsourcing service in each country of operation.
