System Development Life Cycle: Phase III – Design

  1. System Development Life Cycle: Phase III – Design
    Overview
    Now that you have assessed the business, identified some of the inefficient HR-related processes plaguing Larson Property Management Company, and pinpointed a few possible solutions, it is time to choose an HRIS application that will best suit the business. In this assignment, you will provide a blueprint for the new system and select a vendor that provides the type of HRIS you believe is most efficient and effective.
    To prepare for this assignment, review the Larson Property Management Company case scenario on pages 114–115 of the textbook, and then research logical process modeling with data flow diagrams and HRIS vendors that may suit the needs of Larson Property Management.

    4. Choose HRIS Vendor
