SIMS Employee Portal
Increase efficiency with this self-service personnel tool.
The SIMS Employee Portal is a value-added personnel tool that significantly increases productivity and efficiency for your security department. Employees that need access to their personnel data must typically send requests through the security team; this time-consuming and inefficient process places an extra burden on security staff. The SIMS Employee Portal is a self-service feature that gives employees the ability to proactively access, review and validate personnel data stored in SIMS, such as clearance status, foreign travel and training records. In SIMS v7.29, the SIMS Employee Portal was redesigned and is part of the SIMS installer. The SIMS Employee Portal is available at no additional cost and without using one of your concurrent SIMS licenses.
