...Riordan Manufacturing is the industry leader in using polymer materials with future goals of achieving and maintaining reasonable profitability to ensure and sustain growth (Apollo, 2005). In response to Hugh McCauley’s, Riordan Manufacturing Chief Operations Officer‘s (COO) concern about the antiquated processes and his requirements the team analyzed the manual and redundant processes of the current Human Resources System Integration (HRIS). The team has determined with the use of state-of-the art information technology system the current manual intensive, multi-functional processes can be integrated into a single system. The team has kept in consideration that the integrated HRIS has to be accessible by all of Riordan’s plant locations. Based on the request the new system should be completed and available for use by the second quarter of next year. The team along with Hugh McCauley will determine how to develop the project test plan, determine resources, and how best to acquire the staff to meet the needs of the project. From initiation to lifecycle management will allow flexibility and future growth modification to the HRIS system. The HRIS...

The history of the field of HRM and the impact of computer technology on HRM will be covered, as well as the advent of using a human resource information system and the subsequent effects on both HR and IT professionals. The different types of HR activities will be discussed as well as the different types of information systems used in HRIS. A central focus of this chapter is the use in managerial decision making of results and reports from an HRIS.

...tools and systems that operate together throughout the organization becomes a huge benefit. Having easy access, gives the edge to companies, provides for better productivity and cost effectiveness. In order to know the criteria for a system the system requirements has to be determined. The first process in system development is requirement analysis and definition. This enables the breakdown of the functional and non-functional requirements that paints a clear framework to the system development (Rouse, 2012). Technology requirements, stakeholders, and businesses have a viable part in the process of analysis process. There are four activities involved in the analysis process, the first is elicitation activity, is the collecting of information and understanding the needs of the stakeholder and articulating high-level requirements. The analysis activity, determines clarity, and if the system is free of any contradictions, defines techniques to combat the issues. Specification activity is where the behavior of a system is a developing stage. Then there is the validation activity that involves sessions with users, stakeholders, and other experts to help to wing out issues and conflicting requirements before the projects moves to development (Johannesson & Perjons, 2013). “When future design efforts involving system upgrades or enhancements are analyzed, Fit/Gap analysis activities are often performed to understand the differences between current and proposed systems or applications...
