What are the benefits of the new HRMS?
The primary objective of HRMS is to improve the quality of human resources data, and thereby provide better HR services to individuals. More biographic data can be collected. For example, various address types can be stored for an individual. In todays environment only two address types can be stored. HRMS will be able to track a campus address, a home address, and a mailing address. HRMS can keep a primary and a preferred name in the system, and record dependents and their relationships for benefits tracking. With the integration of electronic documents, IU business rules and practices can be supported at the department level. The E-Docs component of HRMS will hide differences between IUs and PeopleSofts business rules from the department level user. E-Docs will also support electronic routing and approval down the road. Anyone with some exposure to the FIS knows the efficiencies that system has been able to provide in terms of knowing exactly where a transaction is at any given time.
