Riordan HR Analysis Part 3
Riordan HR Analysis Part 3
BSA/375 - Fundamentals of Business Systems Development
Tuesday 30 October 2010
Implementation
The project requires an overhaul of the corporation’s Human Resource Information System (HRIS). The desired goal for this project can be time consuming with the integration of the new centrally located database. Meanwhile, implementing on-site training sessions can help to test the system and enable the employees to acquire the proper skills needed for the new HR hardware and software. It would be pertinent to seek the help of a project manager to help coordinate and achieve the specific targets within the specified budget and project deadline.
• Describe the implementation stage for this project.
• Include a discussion of the six major activities for the implementation stage as described in the text:
Coding,
Testing
Software application testing
Manual Automated
Without code execution Inspections Syntax checking
With code execution Walkthroughs
Desk checking Unit testing
Integration testing
System testing
Stub testing
Installation:
There
1. Direct Installation:
2. Parallel Installation:
3. Single location Installation:
4. Phased Installation:
Staged, incremental, gradual, based on system functional components
Similar to bringing system out via multiple releases • Allows for system development also to be phased • Limits potential harm and costs from system error or failure to certain business activities/functions • Risk spread over time
• Some benefits can be achieved early
• Each phase is small and more manageable • Old and new systems must be able to work together and share data, which likely will require extra programming to “bridge” the two systems
• Conversion is constant and may extend over a long period, causing frustration and confusion for users
Documentation
Vendor shall provide updated instruction manuals available for all functions
