HRIS Systems and Systems Architecture

Kavanagh et al. ( 1990 ) define Human Resources Information System ( HRIS ) is a system used to acquire, store, manipulate, analyze, retrieve and distribute information regarding an organization’s human resources. Hello everyone, during the 1 October 2012, we are going to learn and discussed about HRIS Systems and System Architecture topic. From the lecture Dr. Roya Anvari, I am understand that, Human Resources Information System give many advantages to organization such as improving employee satisfaction by delivering Human Resource ( HR ) services more quickly and accurately. From this topic, I have learnt about the HR Systems Architecture. I know that there are three basic system architecture commonly use in the Human Resource Information System model. That system is standalone system, data warehouse model and single integrated system model.

During this class, I know standalone system is a basic of Human Resource Information System architecture which each operating unit runs its own independent system with no worldwide standard in place and no link each other. Data warehouse model is more advance that standalone model. It is use more to the sharing of knowledge, share all application and use the same system. About the single integrated system model is only focus at headquarters and connected with every region in the country. This model more to advance than standalone system and data warehouse model. With this model there are only one instance of the database generally located at corporate headquarters.

From this reflection, the important things I get from the Human Resource Information System and System Architecture is I can know and understanding about concept of HRIS system with more clearly. In addition, I can described the differences between the three basic system architecture commonly use in the Human Resource Information System model such as standalone system, data warehouse model and single integrated system model. I am also understand how HR System architecture functioning in organization.

About an activity, Dr. Roya Anvari also give question to every students to discuss in own group. From this activities, we can sharing our knowledge and working together to improve understanding about this topic. In a conclusion, no matter what model is being implemented, it must be able to apply the information system. So,that all organization will receive and use the model in their respective business.
