Sr-Rm-022 Hr System Analysis

In order to make a more accurate assessment of what you will need in your new HR system it is important that you involve key stakeholders of the company in the decision making process. The following is a list of the key stakeholders that should be included in the decision-making process:

Riordan manufacturing has requested an upgrade to their current human resources system. They currently have several disparate tools that are patched together in order to complete HR functions. Many Excel spreadsheets are used by different parts of HR, and combining all resources into one system can provide many time saving advantages and a more reliable system over all. By reviewing who the stakeholders are and what the best information-gathering techniques are we can ensure that we collect the information for the requirements and stay within the scope of the project.

The first step in setting up the new Human Resource Application, (HRA), is to gather information about the system requirements and user needs from everyone that will be involved in the startup and rollout of the new system. The process of gathering information from involved stakeholders can be a tedious process if the wrong techniques are used. So, to expedite this in an orderly and timely manner we will be passing out questioners to all members of the Human Resource Department and to all Department heads. Using Questioners will help the IT department get an idea of what requirements are expected from the new system. It is not cost efficient to talk to each employee so, it would be very beneficial for all that every questioner is filled out in a timely manner. We will be emailed to each employee on Monday September 9th, 2013 and would like a response no later than Thursday September 12th, 2013, (for processing purposes). Questioners will also be available on the Employee Web Site under HR applications.

Riordan Manufacturing wants to integrate its existing HR information system tools to a single integrating application. This request of service is interested in defining business requirements for completion of the HR system for obtaining the objective. Security controls that we recommend for the design for the HR systems, process design, and application architecture are the requirements for this project.

In an era that has long gone bye, machines have taken over the process of tracking an employee’s information. Thus HR will create an information specialist position(s) to input the information of an employee when he or she is first hired, then the computer will use that number to route information to the necessary programs for data storage. This business system will need to do all the tasks that once were done by the HR personnel.

The first order of business for information collecting would be to identify the stakeholders for

3. A Use Case is developed to support requirement specification. It is a detailed description of specifications in its simplest form using Realtime scenarios of the functionality requirements between the actors and

Riordan is currently using an HRIS system that was installed in 1992 as part of a package system that the financial department is using. The system uses data retrieved from specialized forms and a subsystem of excel spreadsheets. The forms are used by managers and the employee relation specialists. The forms used by managers include employees’ personal information, pay rate, tax information, date hired, seniority date, vacation time, and organizational information. The employee relations specialist also uses forms to track information

The system we will be analyzing is their first Human Resources Information System (HRIS), which was implemented in 1992. It is integrated into the company's financial system, use for keeping

The best case scenario is to have four instances of the system, a testing environment, a user acceptance environment, a production environment, and a training environment. The program can be tested on the testing and user acceptance environments.

Organizations have the responsibility to stay current on software and government regulations in order to keep up the growing demands of the HRIS changes. Software undergoes routine check that that are mandated by the government. This paper will discuss in some detail about the changes and new progress in technology and government guidelines that should be measured in the future requirements for modernizing or changing a HRIS system. Next, recognize three disadvantages of using interviews and focus groups for data collection that takes place during the analysis phase. Then, evaluate three critical sources of data-gathering initiatives for an HRIS needs analysis and then emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of using each source. Next, identify a system, process, or service with the anticipated future, and last create a gap analysis report that shows the discrepancies between the present and future state and prioritized needs.

Human resource management’s (HRM) role is changing in business. In the past, HR was a nothing but an administrative support function, now it is a key player in a business’s strategic planning. Today HR must have the ability to manage employees in way that contributes directly to a organization’s strategic goals. This sudden paradigm shift in purpose now feeds HR manager’s need for integrated systems that also include business intelligence. As companies look for more responsive and effective systems, outdated HR systems fall to the wayside as new modern and agile systems evolve.

HRIS enables the hospital 's human resource department to make a more active role in organizational planning. Computerization will make forecasting more timely, cost effective, and efficient.

The interview session has been done by include an open-ended and closed-ended question which are related to the implemented project. Next, sampling technique is executed by system analyst who does evaluation to the current system or prototype. These processes give feedback in evaluation form that filled after tested the system. Lastly, observation is performed by using questionnaire form. According to Burch (1992), the questionnaire is analyzed and transform into structured form that easy to understand. After all information has been collected, structuring of system requirement takes place. It focused on development process modeling which perform “graphically representing the process, or actions, that capture, manipulate, store, and distribute data between a system and environment” (Hoffer, George, & Valacich, 2012, p. 182). In this step, Data flow diagram (DFD) is structured by system analyst using special tools and techniques to create a decision table. According to Hoffer, George and Valacich (2012), decision table is a “diagram of process logic where the logic is reasonably complicated” (p. 200). This table is useful to help system analyst to make a decision toward the project. Then all information’s gained from this phase are documented in System Analysis Report (SAR) that acts as a guideline or reference to the future system development project (Burch, 1992).

Another reason for HR data collection is: providing the organization with information for decisions making.
