GLOBALIZING HRIS

We are living in the world that has no boundaries, means that we are able to reach vast of information that we need and you do not need to travel to get the information. A lot of companies nowadays are in the process of globalization, globally internet worked enterprises. When they expanding their business into global, the company must ensure which model that they wanted to apply. There are 4 models in HRIS which are global, international, multinational and transactional model which consist of these 3 models. In my opinion, transactional model is the best model to apply because it allows company to operate globally, international and multinational. This is because it might be certain matters that need to be globalized and certain matter must be adapted to the local environment.

These 4 models can be differentiated by the technological architectures of the systems. There are 3 types of technological architecture which are stand-alone system model, data warehouse and single integrated system. Stand-alone system model is which each unit runs their own system. A company in North America might require information of a company in Middle East. So, the company must directly get the information from the company in Middle East. On the other hand, Data Warehouse is where model in which every company uses the same software. All of the information required is been stored at data mart. Single Integrated system is where a system which is balance means that it is not overly localized or centralized. The databases generally located at headquarter and any update will automatically goes into the system throughout the organization.

 These 3 architectures should be suitable with the service delivery either local, national, regional or global.  Stand-alone system model is suitable in organization at local level. Data warehouse system is suitable in organization that operates in national and regional level and single integrated system model is suitable in organization that operates in global level.

I am taking Bachelor of Degree for Psychology (Industrial and Organizational Psychology) and right now I am at my third year which is my final year.


My dream is actually I always want to be a nurse. I love to help other people who is in need. My late father was diagnosed for Diabetes, Hypertension and Kidney Failure. Every month, he must meet his doctor for regular check-up. He also been warded many times due to his bad condition. Every time my dad was warded in the hospital, my mom accompanied him and I visited him every single day. I have seen many kind of people suffering many kind of diseases. By seeing them suffering so much, I felt very sad, especially when his family members is not around to take care of him. From that moment, I know that I want to be a nurse. I want to help those in need and by doing that, it give satisfaction to myself.


Human Resources Information System is one of the subject that I take for my final semester and this subject is like a new thing for me to learn. All this while I have never been involved in information systems so this subject has given me the opportunity to learn new discipline of knowledge and to have new perspectives toward this subjects. I believe this subject will help a lot when I am working in the future as nowadays technologies has been part of our lives.
