As long as you can export/output your personnel list to either a text file, a comma delineated file, or an Excel spreadsheet, you can easily import the list into The Randomizer. All of the enterprise HR systems we are aware of have this capability.

Yes, simply save your Excel spreadsheet in the "Compatability Mode" in Excel 2007 and import your file as an .xls.

Can I run The Randomizer over our network?

Yes, The Randomizer is network compatible. The licensing agreement of The Randomizer is for one copy to be run by one user, so if you have more than one user you need to buy additional licenses.

Is there a limit on the number of people that can be on an imported personnel list in The Randomizer?

Technically, no. The Randomizer has been tested with personnel lists with between 5,000 and 10,000 people and works fine. When randomizing large groups of 5,000 or more, lack of Random Access Memory or processor speed could cause a slow down or other issues. Our testing has been done typically on machines with 256+ RAM successfully.

We are a drug testing agency and test hundreds of different clients, can The Randomizer be used in this situation?

Yes. Simply set up a file (spreadsheet or text document) for each client and select the appropriate client list when the time comes.
