The document discusses Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS). It provides an overview of HRIS, including why they are needed, their applications and utilities, implementation process, benefits, and limitations. It also includes a case study of SunGard, a company that uses an Oracle/PeopleSoft HRIS for functions like payroll processing, training, and recruitment. The HRIS allows for speedy data retrieval and processing, accurate reporting, and more effective HR decision making. However, implementation can be challenging and affect company culture, and systems may face issues like downtime.
