Question 2

Jeff is an analyst.The human resources department is very unhappy with their payroll package.They want the information systems department to write them a new package as they think they have unique needs that can't be meet with a packaged solution.What should Jeff do?

Accepted Answer

Payroll is a very common application and there are many good payroll programs on the market.Jeff really needs to understand what the problems with the current package are.Is it old (i.e.only runs on a mainframe system) What functions does HR want to do that the package does not support? In that payroll information must be reported to state and federal officials for tax reasons,it probably don't not make sense to write a complete package but to find one that meets HR needs.After a detailed investigation,it may be best to create either an RPI or RPQ to get additional information and bids from potential vendors.
