The media release about ATR published on Monday
March 10th in Business Line states “About
18 months ago, he filed a patent with the Indian
Patent Office for his data verification tool called
Authentic Track Record.”
1. Is this a software, which
is being filed for a patent?
There has been many blog’s related to the
media release about Authentic Track Record. I want
to provide clarity on that fact that the patent
application filed is not to patent software per
se.
2. Is Authentic Track Record a business
method?
A business method is a collection of interrelated
tasks linked to day to day business functions.
There are three types of business processes:
1. Management processes:
Typical management processes include say corporate
governance.
2. Operational
processes, which is core business and create the
primary value stream. Typical operational processes
are - Purchasing,
Manufacturing, Marketing, and Sales
3. Supporting
processes, which support the core processes. Examples
include Accounting, Recruitement, IT-support.
Corporate governance, manufacturing, accounting
or recruitment are day to day direct business functions
which are mandatory for business and hence termed
as business method or method of doing business.
An individual's decision to maintain an AuthenticTrack
Record is a choice which the individual makes irrespective
of the fact that he/she is part of a corporate,
or business.
Parents
1. The terms of agreement states
that the age for registration is 18 years and above.

The parent can register on behalf of the student
and handhold the process of maintaining an Authentic
Track Record.
2. How does progressive evaluation
help?
Prior to ATR, performance evaluation has been compartmentalized
in nature. With ATR, every performance element is
updated as and when it happens with the authorized
reporting relationships. This provides the infrastructure
required for progressive evaluation or comprehensive
evaluation.
3. Can I maintain all positive
performance feedback right from school as part of
the ATR?
Yes. This can also help corporate’s identify
talent especially while selecting freshers.
4. What is the right age to start
maintaining an Authentic Track Record for my child?
We have even UKG students who have already registered
with Authentic Track Record system. This of course
is initiated by the parent who is expected to guide
and handover the ATR at the right age.

a universal system?
Yes. The usefulness of the system is universal in
nature.
Individuals
1. Will corporate prefer an Authentic
Track Record holder to a Resume holder?
40 to 60 percent of resumes that are circulated
are found to have some fake representation of data.
More over, there are fake certificates also being
circulated. ATR system is the only proactive and
virtually deployable solution, which is currently
available to address these issues. Since there is
many more usefulness to this system, corporates
will prefer an Authentic Track Record holder to
a Resume holder.
2. Can I register more than once
with Authentic Track Record?
A user is expected to register only once and have
only one Authentic Track Record ID.
3. What happens if a person registers more than
one time?
Corporate’s can identify the duplicate registrations.
User may lose opportunities and hence a user should
have only one user login with one Authentic Track
Record ID.
4. Can I update my Authentic
Track Record by forwarding performance history to
the personal mail id of a reporting manager?
A complete Authentic Track Record is one that has
all updates made through official mails and directly
by direct reporting relationships.

elements updated by using personal mail ids of reporting
relationships?
Such a record is not a complete Authentic Track
Record and hence may not get the mileage that a
complete authentic track record can provide.
6. What if I create my own company
and get my record updated through that fake company?
Authentic Track Record is also applicable for corporates
and institutes. There could be verifications done
on corporate existence, its clients and physical
verification. If authentication is done through
fake companies, the user may lose credibility and
hence could lose on career progression opportunities.

I still be part of ATR System?
A user can register even after gaining experience.

use of the portfolio management service.

security Manager.
11. Can I make changes once the
data is updated by the reporting relationships?
Once updated, data cannot be changed.
12. What happens if by human
error a performance history with an error is added?
There is an option to lock such records. But the
company that you join may ask the ATR holder why
records in an ATR is locked, in which case, the
ATR holder should or may need to show a valid reason
for such locked records within an ATR.

not need to maintain a separate resume.

only my resume, how will the recruiter or a user

value addition than a resume

is provided by Authentic Track Record system and
hence called the backbone of the HRATM.

In comparison with the current system that is being

user also has the control over providing access
rights to the complete ATR or parts of it. ATR system
is a choice that the user makes.
6. What can Authentic track record
system be integrated with?
The usefulness of the system spans beyond talent
acquisition. It can be integrated with HRMS, Authentication
systems, Job portals, Company career portals, training
systems, Performance management systems, compensation
management systems etc.
7. How easy is it to integrate a company career
portal or a job portal with authentic track record
system?
It is very easy to integrate authentic track record
system with company career portal or a job portal.
Only one additional field needs to be added to the
job portal, company portal or any such system, that
is, Authentic Track Record ID of the ATR holder.
8. Can a corporate completely avoid the need for
employment verification?
This depends on the extend to which the ATR is complete.
This means, if an ATR is only partly complete, then,
there is a need to either make the record complete
by updating the incomplete records or, based on
the decision of the corporate to go ahead with employment
verification.
9. Does the corporate need to take any internal
policy decisions on implementing Authentic Track
Record System?
To a certain extend, the decision to implement the
Authentic Track Record System is more like implementing
an internal quality benchmark for Human Resources
Management. This of course is a management decision
and hence naturally a policy decision. The policy
should clearly state if the system is going to be
implemented for new joinees alone or for both current
and new joinees.
10. If Authentic Track Record System brings out
the authentic information, wont implementing Authentic
Track Record System for existing employees create
an employee relations related issue?
This is a management decision that the organization
needs to take. A policy decision in such case could
be to implement the system only for new joinees
and not for existing employees.
