is beyond the company'd financial capabilities.
focuses on the activities in which the organization engages and on how data flow through
the HRIS.
1. Perceived need for a specialized solution.
2. A universally agreed-on set of guidelines for interoperability must exist between
applications. This exists at both the syntactical and the semantic levels.
3. Applications need to speak the same language.
Term 2 of 44
What type of analysis should be conducted when a configuration and customization (during
implementation) is optimal.
a "fit-gap" analysis.
-It systematically works through every process in the HRIS that has been mapped as well as
any new processes that have been identified as mission critical.
-N-Tier architecture is expandable to multiple web servers and application servers to
handle load balancing. Web servers can be geographically dispersed to provide worldwide
access.
-3-Tier architecture is restricted locally to a server, a database, and an access point.
Cultural or organizational change, structural realignment, strategic redirection, and
increasing innovation.
Record keeping tasks:
Entering payroll activities, tracking employee status changes, and the administration of
employee benefits.

Unfreezing (Lewin's Three-Stage Change Model)
Transactional HR Activities.
i.e. Record keeping tasks:
Entering payroll activities, tracking employee status changes, and the administration of
employee benefits.
Saving a significant amount of time on traditional activities and providing almost continuous
data about the status of the organization.
True - thru e-learning, an HRIS will reduce the cost of training by 40%-60%. When
implementing traditional training programs, costs remain high for project support
personnel. When an HRIS is implemented, many training tasks are automated.
The status quo needs to be unfrozen before the old way of doing things can be unlearned
and new behaviors can be successfully adopted.
Definition 4 of 44
1. This process will take a team of individuals anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 years to complete.
2. a variety of ways to manage this process may be attempted, so long as the key issues are
examined and organizational goals for the implementation are achieved; and
3. there is no single definitive approach to be used in all situations.
Points to remember in regard to System Implementation
Two (2) key recommendations to ensure a successful RFP.
Implementing a HRIS will reduce training costs. Tru/False.
Client-Server (Two-Tier) Architecture
, Definition 5 of 44
Conceptually the reverse of the typical BoB motivation. this is when the cost of maintaining a
payroll application and staff in-house may outweigh the benefits of controlling the process.
Employee time data, pay rate, and benefit information would be transmitted to the external
vendor for processing.

1. Review the needs analysis and redesign of business processes to understand the specific
requirements that should be included in the RFP.
2. Another recommendation is the keep it simple. If something that IS important to the HR Dept.
and reflective of the business processes modeled in the DFDs, it is best not to include it.
Two (2) key recommendations to ensure a successful RFP.
What is the main difference between 3-tier architecture & N-tier architecture?
What is a key architectural decision during implementation (HRIS)?
Implementing a HRIS will reduce training costs. Tru/False.
