HRIS Systems
Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), also known as Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS), are integrated software systems that you can use to gather, store, and extract information for analysis with respect to your organization’s human resources. Technology has allowed the transactional necessities of human resources to find newer applications to improve efficiency and overall effectiveness which can help reduce costs in the long run. When implemented successfully, it has the potential to free resources, streamline data collection, and improve accuracy, allowing for greater focus of strategic initiatives.
However, it is not as simple as choosing an HRIS system and implementing it. You must consider the people, policy, procedure, data for full integration, and ROI to ensure that your organization makes a good investment in an HRIS system. At HRBOOST®, we can work with you to help choose and integrate an HRIS system that will help streamline your human resource activities and save costs for your company.
Our professionals will help you decide on the right HRIS system by working with you through the following phases:
Phase 1: The Inception
The primary goal of this phase is to work with you and your team and achieve a consensus on the goals for the project. What is your overall HR Information Technology strategy? What problems are you seeking to resolve? Conversely, what advantages are you hoping to gain?
Phase 2: The Elaboration
In this phase, we help identify details of the project where requirements will be determined currently and into the future. What is the technical environment, budget, and specifications? Is it best to build or buy? What must we have and what do we wish for?
Phase 3: The Request for Proposal
HRBOOST® will develop a customized RFP as well as establish criteria for evaluation of RFP to obtain consensus on product demonstration and factors that will drive the final decision.
Phase 4: The Transition/ Implementation
The focus of this phase is to deliver a suitable software solution that is in sync with the organization’s goals and needs, which is the real challenge.
How do I select the right HRIS for my company?
It is important to thoroughly understand what your needs are now and four to five years into the future. The larger systems are flexible and powerful but buying an oversized system may not be necessary or financially feasible. Ongoing maintenance, customization, and training factors should all be considered. New vendors enter the market every month. A successful implementation that meets your goals is the real challenge and having an experienced partner like HRBOOST® on the team means having someone at the table who has done if before. Remember, making the right selection is only phase one of your project.
HRBOOST® has the skill to support an organization through the Project Management cycle. Various approaches may be considered but typically the project goes from inception to completion. Selecting and implementing an HRIS should be a team process.
Virtually every business is seeking a competitive advantage while reducing overhead. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) can reduce costs in the long run, but it is your people that provide the competitive advantage. HRBOOST® understands that HRIS/HRMS is not limited to the selection, integration, and implementation of hardware and software. We will work with you to consider your organization’s needs in relation to your people, policy, procedure, data, and ROI to help you choose and integrate a beneficial system.
The selection of HRIS/HRMS systems is invariably more complex than at first glance. Many obstacles, including people, can keep an organization from fully realizing the benefit of technology in the workplace. The initiative of implementing such technology requires a careful and thoughtful approach to fully address the issues and impacts related to decisions made throughout the selection and implementation phases. This is unique to every organization and both tangible and intangible factors must be addressed for successful implementation.
