Assignment: Leveraging Technology for HRM Strategy

You are the director of HR information systems and analytics of a publicly-traded organization. Your current HR information systems (HRIS) are outdated and can no longer be supported by the vendors. Therefore, it is necessary to invest in the implementation of a new system or systems. Before you can begin the request for proposal process from vendors, you have been tasked by the VP of HR to research and identify a short-list of appropriate technologies that would support the types of transactional, traditional, and transformational HR activities currently in place in the organization.
Instructions

II. Which HR traditional activities must be built into the functionality of the application
III. Which transformational HR activities must be built into the functionality of the application
IV. How the technology application can provide data and reporting on the activities you have specified and to whom (e.g. internal customers) this data can be accessible.
