...1. Proposed Title Role of Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in an Organization The purpose of this research is to identify business organizations that have faced human resources issues in regards to information technology. Through the study, we can learn how business organizations have handled certain human resources issues related to information technology, information systems, new technology, and data security. With the changing world and constant new technology that is available, managers need to be aware of the technology that will increase effectiveness in their organization. 2. Introduction HRIS refers to software packages that address HR needs with respect to planning, employee information access, and employer regulatory compliance. The following text begins with a discussion of human resource planning, followed by human resource management systems. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have become one of the most important tools for many businesses. Many firms do not realize how much time and money they are wasting on manual human resource management (HRM) tasks until they sit down and inventory their time. HRIS is advancing to become its own information technology (IT) field. It allows companies to cut costs and offer more information to employees in a faster and more efficient way. Especially in difficult economic times, it is critical for companies to become more efficient in every sector of their business; human resource (HR) is no exception. HRIS...

...Organization for Riordan Manufacturing Virtual Organization for Riordan Manufacturing Many companies today are looking to create virtual organizations for their businesses because of the innovation and organizational improvement it can provide. Creating an intranet in a virtual organization to hold shareable company data is the best form of communication between all employees. The intranet can be protected from outside interference by using the correct security measures. While reviewing the virtual organization for Riordan Manufacturing, there were some inconsistencies in the home page, accounting and finance, and human resources section that can be improved on. Home Page The home page is the most important web page for a user because it prepares and sets the tone for navigation and functionality. A glaring omission from the Riordan home page is the purpose of the Intranet and its usefulness for employees. Currently, the home page contains the mission statement, company facts, and a brief history. While this information is important, we would recommend creating a separate page named “About”, or placing it under the current link of “Riordan Industries”, which would be a more appropriate location. Our recommendation for the home page would be to include more details about the intranet itself. What is an intranet? Why is it important? Who are the users? These questions are very important, especially for someone who is new to the company. Additionally, eight headings/links...

Each application within the organization needs to be thoroughly reviewed in order to determine the associated risks and ways in which to protect against them. Another factor to be considered is that risk may vary between internal and external applications. There are many activities which can be incorporated into an organizations security plan which will help to mitigate possible risks and the loss that result from security breaches. It will be difficult for a company to achieve information security objectives without security event monitoring. Security event monitoring is derived from the general practice of monitoring activities that occur on a computer system. Security event monitoring involves recording information that represents activity and analyzing recorded information to identify and respond to questionable activities i.e.; possible security events Making Security Monitoring a Part of Your Best Security Practices.

This system handles the company’s 550 employee’s data, plus it performs several other tasks which include the employee’s personal information, hire date, pay rate, and vacation time accrued. This system was installed in 1992 and has yet to be upgraded to handle many different transactions, these transaction are currently handled manually. If any changes in employee status are needed, the manager of that employee will need to fill-out a special form and submit it to payroll for it to be entered into the system. Service Request Advancement in technology has presented a necessity for changes and upgrades to the Human Resources Information System (HRIS). This up-to-date system will switch from manually done transactions to automatic transactions that will provide security, speed, reliability, and save time by eliminating the special forms. Hugh McCauley, company chief operating officer (COO), has requested an analysis of the HR system to integrate the existing variety of tools in use today into a single integrated application (Apollo, 2007). As the company’s interest in being a part of a new state-of-the-art information system technology rises, there are several steps needs to be taken before...
