ABC is a US-based organisation that operates several museums, research centres, and
zoological parks. A few years back, the organisation faced a number of issues in
managing its human resource functions. This was due to the obsolescence of the
existing human resource management system. The old system of the organisation was
not able to provide accurate information related to employees.
Considering the on-going issues, ABC decided to implement the latest version of ERP
HRM system called PeopleSoft HRMS V8.8 from Software Performance Systems, Inc.
The implementation of this system was divided into four phases.
First Phase: Focused on implementing personnel management, benefits administration,
and payroll administration functions.
Second Phase: Focused on implementing job requisition, labour relations, and workflow
management features.
Third Phase: Concerned with the development of an organisation-wide learning source
to facilitate information and knowledge sharing.
Fourth Phase: Focussed on competency mapping and personnel development.
The implementation of the ERP HRM system not only improved human resource
functions but also increased the overall operational efficiency of the organisation.

system?
