HRIS

Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) help bridge human resource management and information technology. A human resources information system combines software and supporting computer hardware specifically designed to store and process all HR information. These systems are the centerpiece of modern HR departments in larger enterprises. Historically, human resources departments relied on multiple software programs (or paper processes) in each department but now HRIS systems integrate these programs through a common database and user interface. A sophisticated HRIS will simplify transactions, automate administrative tasks, and minimize paperwork. HRIS can even provide a consolidated database to coordinate self-service technologie such as intranets, kiosks, and voice response systems.
