Operational Requirements

These requirements state how the system will work and at the same time it explains how in time the way the system works may change. This is most common seen in software systems that work alongside other systems. When this occurs it is known as system integration. Information systems never remain constant. They are growing every day in many directions for the better. Businesses tend to go with what is new in the technology world to keep up with the latest systems so that information systems that support them can run faster. When dealing with these new systems, one has to think of thinking such as the future. If you want to be able to late access a web site from your cell phone, you will need to make sure your system has portability. This simply means things will change over time and how the system will need to adapt to the changes without having to do too much work to help it do so. With all these possible changes, one will have to think about maintaining these operational requirements. Most changes come out of nowhere and finding someone who knows the new system can be a little difficult in the beginning due to so few actually knowing how to properly maintain such a system. In other areas of operation it may not be the same way because sometimes you can see the change coming slowly but surely. With maintaining a system you may have to think ahead. Will this system grow and need more space? Does it make sense to buy more than one when technology has been growing and something newer and better may be created by this time next year? These are just a few questions one must as their selves while applying a new system.

Performance Requirements

The performance of the system is the most important thing of all. If the system isn't performing in a manner that is better than the last system, then the upgrade was not successful. Currently the requirements for the system are:

1. Payroll

2. Time and Attendance

3. Appraisal Performance

4. Benefits Administration

5. HR Management Information System

6. Recruiting

7. Performance Record

8. Employee Self-Service

9. Scheduling

10. Absence Management

Not all of these points will need to be changed in order to have a reliable system. You have to remember that not every part of your system is in bad shape. For instance, you may not want to change how your payroll is set up within the system because if you just so happen to create an error, you my over or even under
