HRIS SYSTEMS AND SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE

HRIS system allows the employer and employees to enter performance data, display and analyze it for over time and use the data as input for both the employee’s personal development plan and the organization’s long-term workforce and succesion plannning. Three basic systems architecture in HRIS are Standalone System Model, Data Warehouse Model and Single Integrated System Model.

1)      Standalone System Model

This system architecture is a most basic model which is each operating unit runs by its own independent system with no integration and no worldwide standard in place. Besides, the Standalone System Model is identify as a Multinational HRIS Model which is useful for large and diversified multinational organization, most of the organizations have grown through acquisition. Next, this system is hard for to do data analysis and there is said that even the most basic headcount reporting becomes difficult.

2)      Data Warehouse Model

This system is common but more advance model than others. In this system, the same of software is use for each operating units. Oracle, SAP and PeopleSoft are the companies that use same system for all their operating units. This is will give advantages to the organization in terms of increasing the resources in order to reduce the cost with the standardized data for instance share knowlegde. Besides, there is good for the organization in dealing with the seller. This system architecture is in an International HRIS Model.

3)      Single Integrated System Model

This system is the most advanced. This system only focused to headquartes and connected with region or country. It has networking of each others and also every regions are mutually linked. The data will update automatic through the organization and data get from the main warehouse. This system identify global model that highly centralized and standardizes which minimized and needs of the local business unit. Other than that, this system HRIS also uses the same of screen worldwide with the appropriate changes follow the languages of the countries. Other than that, global and transnational HRIS Model most commonly have the Single Integrated System Model.

            As the conclusion, these three systems architecture have their own uses which is that could give benefits to the organization’s operation units which is either suitable for multinational, globally, international or transnational models.
