| Description: | Smartsettle is a general purpose online negotiation system that can be used for negotiations in the job market. Smartsettle can handle complex employment contracts, as well as settle disputes over termination and severance.
The product also has application in labor-management bargaining. While most of the documentation so far talks about simulated dispute resolution, http://www.smartsettle.com/more/cwk2002/content.php?cwk.html, the product has been used for real negotiations.
Smartsettle is extremely flexible, and can handle many variables simultaneously. It can also handle any number of parties, although most employment bargaining is likely to be only two-sided. The company, ICAN Systems Inc, says: "Smartsettle is the world's only secure eNegotiation system using patented optimization algorithms to achieve fair and efficient solutions that are truly Beyond Win-WinŽ. SmartSettle puts decision-makers in control, accelerates the process, and produces more satisfactory results." In addition to selling the tool, the company also offers training and even practice sessions through its connection with the International eNegotiation Tournament http://www.enegotiation.org/.
If necessary, the company can also supply trained facilitators to assist with conflict resolution.
