web folio 1: HRIS SYSTEMS and SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE

There are one dissimilarities based on 4 types of HRIS models which is multinational, global, international and transnational HRIS model in terms of technological architecture of the systems that they used in that model. They may be used one of these systems whether using Standalone System Model, Data Warehouse Model or Single Integrated System Model.

Ø  Standalone System Model

Most common model used by the organization is Standalone System Model. It means that the each of organization operate their own independent system. Data or information may inform, update and send through fax, telephone, mail or in person. But, it is hard to do data analysis because they are independent organization. So, Standalone System model is more suitable for the Multinational HRIS model and for big size of organization.

Ø  Data Warehouse Model

This system also common but it more advanced compare to Standalone System Model. The organizations more easily handle the data because every unit operating in the organization has same type of software system whether they using Oracle, PeopleSoft or SAP even though the organization have separate database at other region or country especially they have many branches around the world. Advantages of Data Warehouse Model are every unit operating the similar type of the software, can take full advantage of resources and also minimize costs of the organization. When compare with to the Standalone System model, the difference is this model more focus on the data. It is means that the data is received from all operating units automatically and in a standardized format.  But the disadvantages used this model is not each units of branches uses the same database. In addition, Data Warehouse model is fit for International HRIS model.

Ø  Single Integrated System Model

The top and more advanced model is Single Integrated System model. This model only has one database and handle by corporate headquarters. It is more focus to the headquarters and has connected with all the units at other branches. Each of the units has strong networking with each other. Data is automatically updating throughout the organization and the center data at main data warehouse. This model has more advantages  in terms of database and networking. Even though this model is better compare to others model but it is quite familiar in some field and still uncommon in the HR world. So, normally most of Global and Transnational HRIS model used Single Integrated System Model.
