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.
