Most human resource information technology or human resource information systems specialists have been involved with an HR software in India evaluation in one way or another. However, as the industry delivery models have focused more on software-as-a-service (SAAS), many of the original processes are slightly different today. System evaluation and selection is not a process done daily. As a professional charged with assessing a new system, it’s always best to refresh your knowledge base before embarking on such a project.
When selecting new software, the following steps can help guide this complicated process:
- Have a strategy and a plan.
- Have the correct resources.
- Have good requirements.
- Focus on leading edge technology.
- Use decision drivers.
- Understand how vendors fit your requirements.
- Keep control of the demo and selection.
