HRIS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

The next topic that I want to discussed are about the HRIS System Architecture. This topic is important on the HRIS. There are three basic systems architecture commonly found in HRIS and each of the system play a different role for an organization. They are Standalone System Model, Data Warehouse Model, and Single Integrated System Model.  These entire 3 model are still closely related to the 3 different model that I have learned before which is Multinational, Global and Transnational Model. Another point that we have to take into account is how the HR Service is functioning in the model.

           

            On the class of Dr. Roya, she was explain that Standalone system model are the system or model that the organization run its own independent system with no integration. On the other hand, Data warehouse model are more advanced architectural model and all operating use the same software system. Single Integrated Model means that there is no need for a separate reporting database because everything was linkage between each other (networking). Eventhough, that there is some other organization that rather chooses for another system in order to separate transaction processing. Moreover, the other advantages that we can get by using this model are using the same screens worldwide, with appropriate changes for different languages in different countries.

            I also get the information from this topic, that most company that will be using the Single-Integrated model is the Global and Transnational HRIS Company. Besides, all of their engineering centers were reorganized to report centrally to a worldwide engineering function. If the reports that are receive from a different region, it will consist of different language. By using the Single-Integrated model system, it could simplify the process, because even the language is different. By using the system it could translate the language that they receive from the other region. This could be consider as one of the advantages of using this system.  This is the reason why they need to use single-integrated model.
