Question 1

Software as service programs for small businesses has recently become a very important part of the business operations. Most companies have adopted such services especially in the Human Resource departments. Cloud-based computing is one of the most popular methods of providing IT services for companies and has been adopted by various companies that provide software as service. Examples of such companies are the Workday Inc, and SAP SE. the two rivals are one of the world’s largest software providers for both large and small companies. Workday software has been known to provide fully integrated SAAS solutions to their clients. It has slow to start and a self-service feature, which is quite convenient for the client. Its user interface is friendly and remains unrivalled in the industry, and is at the forefront with innovation, with three releases annually. Despite having these marvelous features, Workday has been outdone by SAP for various reasons. SAP software is better for small businesses because it has the most robust business intelligent software, which has a configurable dashboard, with data mining and warehousing features. Additionally, it has an impressive network of clients and has the best enterprise information security. For these reasons, SAP software is the best option for a small company.

Question 2

It is important to use cloud based data integration when migrating from any system. This is because cloud based integrations are likely to be more comprehensive than other traditional systems. Therefore, if a company were migrating from its legacy systems to an eHR solution, it would be better to use cloud based integration software. This is because such software is resourceful in terms of synchronizing data, ensuring high data quality and replication. Therefore, if the data quality is excellent and the replication is done right, then the end users who are mostly job seekers would not experience some of the problems associated with recruitment portals. Data replication in cloud-based integration incorporates compliance in its application.

Question 3

The human resource industry is one f the industries that are largely affected by the economic and demographic variables. For instance, if there are negative economic changes, most human resource departments in companies tend to reorganize their budgets, and cut out on elements such as training and development, decrease their budget for the recruitment processes. This may negatively affect a business. Additionally, changes in the population require the human resource departments to review their strategies. For instance, an increase in the labor providing population implies that a higher number of employees have to be employed, but at a lower wage in order to meet the economic demands of a nation.

Some of the changes that could occur in the HR industry are the removal of training as a HR obligation and having a separate body track the performance of an employee. For instance, if the government signed into law that employees must seek job training outside the organization, the organization would have to re-evaluate its HRIS in order to cross out one of the system needs, which is to generate provisions for employee training. Such a change in the HRIS would be essential in order to ensure the HRIS does not have redundant features.

Question 4

For a future company payroll’s system, it will be better to use payroll software because it will provide efficiency and will be cost effective. Once an employee is in the payroll system, the software will be able to deduct taxes and other reduction, fill in then required forms on behalf of the employee, calculate gross and net pay, send electronic payments to the authorities. The process will begin with filling out and sending out the required forms to the federal government and local authorities, and calculate and deduct taxes and other remittances. However, to improve the system, the company will use software that help track the number of hours an employee has worked in order to ensure payments for overtime are done appropriately.
