The executive leadership team of GenRays is pretty confident that a similar deployment of a comparable system in Human Resources will not only return similar financial savings but will radically improve efficiency and productivity in the company’s currently manual processes within Human Resources. Presently, from an operational aspect, all processes are very manual intensive with almost no centralization. Every satellite office of the organization has their own dedicated Human Resources team which caters to the general administrative and HR related needs of the employees in that respective office. With the deployment of the HRIS solution, GenRays would be moving forward in leaps and bounds towards a centralized and consolidated employee database which would be the core of simplified operations with Human...

...Project Scope Document Template HRIS Implementation Project Project Scope Document Gen-Rays 1/17/2014 Scope Description GenRays has just implemented a centralized finance, purchasing and logistics system. As a result of this implementation, the company realized that it saved cost and improved productivity. The management is now looking for a similar system for HR and is convinced that this implementation will replicate similar success. The following is the current scenario at GenRays HR operations: the HR system is not centralized and each location has its own HR team to carryout payroll and other HR duties. The downside of this setup is that it costs the company great deal of time and money. In order to integrate HR systems within the company, a new HRIS needs to be implemented to improve business functions. HRIS system will centralize employee database, payroll, performance management, career development and other HR operations. With the new system, recruitment process will be automated with a searchable database and capable of accessing opportunities available in the job portal. Customer Requirements: GenRays is looking for a system that would centralize its HR functions. Currently, employees are working from branch locations to support the legacy system – something the new HRIS system is supposed to address and replace. The customer is also looking for cost-effective system that would be able to automate most of the HR services such...
