Assignment Description:
A City Council requires the ability to deploy an Employee Management Solution to all business areas across the organisation. They are required to develop a Recruitment Management System (RMS) and Employee Self Service (ESS) as part of an Employee Management Solution and integrate with the existing systems including Chris21 Payroll System and MYOB Accounting System.
Chris21 and MYOB are cloud-based software-as-a-service. The council would like to deploy the proposed Employee Management Solution in Amazon Web Service (AWS).
The recruitment module will allow users to apply online for job applications, shortlist the candidates, invite shortlisted candidates for interview, process the interview, and select the successful candidate. The candidates will be able to register and log in to the RMS to apply for jobs, view the status of their applications, withdraw applications, and contact the hiring manager. HR Manager and other authorised users make of the systems of the system login to the system. Successful candidate will submit their personal profile, tax file number, super fund details, and bank account details in ESS. ESS will also allow users to apply for annual leave, medical leave, etc., and view the leave balance and pay slip. The managers of each department will be able to approve or reject leave applications. There will be a System Administration module where the System Administrator will be able to create a user, assign a user role and access to the module, and delete and edit users. There might be other requirements that you need to gather during requirements collection in the analysis phase. For this assessment, you are required to analyse, investigate, and document system requirements for this Employee Management Solution. Based on your analysis of the case situation and using different modeling techniques, you will be required to produce a report that discusses the development of business information systems requirements for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
