"The HRMIS needs to eliminate duplication, centralise files & access, integrate with our payroll system, ability to prepare reports and is a cost effective solution. It would be more preferable if the system had a modular design – comprised of independent and individual modules which can be added to a basic system over time for example start with payroll and timesheet functions and then add modules for managing training, recruitment and selection, performance evaluation and etc. The provider needs to be consistent with delivering high-level customer service, quality, flexibility, and functionality of the product."

"We are a non-profit camp with many hourly and summer residential staff employees. we do not currently have an HRIS. We are looking for a system for all employees change approvals, applicant processing and payroll. We need to get rid of the "paperwork" and need to have self-service for employees (to review paystubs online, change their address on file, etc.).
