Superior solutions anytime, anywhere from any device*

Frontier Software was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1983. The objective of the founders was, and continues to be, to create a world-class integrated Human Resource (HR) and Payroll solution. That system, Comprehensive Human Resource Information Solution (CHRIS), supports best-practice Human Resource and Payroll processing for more than 1700
clients globally.

The system evolved into chris21, a contemporary solution that exceeds user expectations in Payroll, Human Resources and Talent Management. chris21 is extremely flexible and scalable, with client workforce numbers ranging between 100 and 65,000 employees.

More recently Frontier Software is excited to present their new solution – ichris – to the market. ichris is enhancing  the functionality of chris21 with a new intuitive user interface, new features and is accessible anytime, anywhere, from any device.

Since inception Frontier Software has worked closely with their clients to develop a superior HR & Payroll solution for government and the private sector.  

Their investment into Human Capital solutions has positioned Frontier Software as one of the industry leaders, and they are dedicated to continually invest at least 20 percent of revenue into research & development.  Also, the recent Navigo report indicates chris21 as the most adopted HRIS system-www.navigoresearch.com.au-for the second year in a row.

As a specialist HR solution provider, Frontier Software’s 300+ employees are focused on the development and delivery of market leading solutions. This approach allows for a practised focus evident in their software solution and exceptional service.

The solution is implemented by fully trained Frontier Software staff whom are specialists with domain expertise in their assigned aspect of the implementation, project management, product training and consulting. They undertake a rigorous accreditation program annually that ensures superior product knowledge, this ensures chris21 implementation projects are delivered on time and within budget.

While the company’s corporate headquarters remain in Melbourne, there are now offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth as well as New Zealand, India, Singapore, Malaysia and the UK.
