Intro to HRMS

Each and every enterprise needs people to manage and run its business. People are the most basic and the most important ingredient of any business. It could be an NGO, a Bank or a Robotics laboratory, no matter where the enterprise focuses on, it must need people to run it. That is why it becomes necessary for the enterprise to store organizational data along with employee data, and use them to manage the people related to the enterprise effectively. This requirement creates the market for a system called the Human Resource Management System.

Oracle E-Biz provides a very effective and scalable way to manage the Human Resource of an enterprise. It is called Oracle human Resource Management System (a.k.a Oracle HRMS / Oracle HCM). Oracle HRMS as a whole is a combination of few Sub Modules. Each sub module supports one particular type of application / practice. The most popular modules in Oracle HRMS are:
