This HR system, HRIS or HRMS selection advice is based directly on my more than fifteen years of experience as a Human Resources software value added reseller. Between me and others who work for my firm, we have sold, implemented and supported hundreds of HR software application installs. Over those years, I have seen people do a great job of selecting an HRIS application and I have seen the result when a poor decision is made. If you follow the steps I laid out, I won’t guarantee a successful HRIS, HRMS or HR system purchase decision, of course, but I assure you it will help tremendously. At the very least, you now have a game plan.

For many of the steps associated with the process of selecting an HRIS application, I directly suggest using CompareHRIS.com for assistance. We created the web site with these ten steps in mind. Most of the functionality of our site won’t be found anywhere else. That, of course, is why we created CompareHRIS.com in the first place.

The Ten Steps to making a wise HRIS, HRMS or HR Software purchasing Decision

1. Improve your HR Software IQ

Before you are able to determine what your needs are for an HR system, you need to know what type of capabilities HR software, HRIS or HRMS applications provide. Allow me to save you a great deal of time with this step. Go to our HRIS Selector Tool and run through the questions. These questions are based on perhaps the most comprehensive list of options and features available for today’s HRIS applications. Under many of the questions we have included subsets of questions, as well. So make sure to look at all when doing your research. We initially created a comprehensive list for HRIS options and features based on what prospects indicated to us were most important to fill their HR system needs. After adding the numerous HR software vendors to our site, we asked those HRIS vendors to review our questions and add additional questions related to features and options that were unique to their HR systems. Run through the survey and I assure you that you will be far more knowledgeable about the options available than you are now. If you want to see a short list of features and options that are available, access our products page and you will see a list of core features we have identified by which users may filter HR products. Below, we provide additional basic detail on the HRIS options that are available and what system capabilities they typically contain.

2. Define your HR software needs

Anything you read on selecting any software application including human resource software, HRIS, or HRMS applications is going to tell you to define your needs first; but I am going to define what this means and why it is important. You need to be highly detailed with defining your needs. The more detail you put into what I consider the most important step of the process of selecting an HR software application, the more likely you will make the right decision in the end.
