Requirement |
our client wanted to increase the scope and functionality of their existing application. In order to provide improved services to their clients, our client required Icreon to build additional modules such as a document management system and a tool to generate reports that could be integrated with their existing application. They also required enhancements to existing modules. The application was previously only compatible with SQL Server and not with Oracle - an aspect that they wanted to address with the proposed functionality upgrade. |

| A web enabled HRM solution |
| In order to meet all the HRM requirements of an organization, the application is divided into the following modules: |
 |
User Interface: It is the entry point for the application. Through this section, users can browse through and access all modules within the application. |
|
|
Administrator Module: Is the module through which administrators can manage the application. Administrators can perform user management tasks, create and define rules, manage details of the organization and manage content appearing on the website through various components.
Based on our client’s requirements, Icreon developed modules that could be integrated with the application. These include:
|
|
|
Workflow Module: This module allows administrators to define workflows for an organization, create and assign tasks to the workflow and assign employees to the tasks. Icreon developed several user interface modules based on the workflows defined. These interfaces were developed to facilitate users in performing the tasks assigned to them. |
|
|
Salary Module: This module contains the salary details of each employee in an organization. An employee can browse through various components of his/her salary structure and can specify her/her spending and savings against these components. Access to this module is restricted by the Administrator to certain months in a year and is known as the “Choice Period”. |
|
|
CMS Module: This module is based on a Content Management System architecture which enables administrators to control appropriate content appearing on the user interface. |
|
|
DMS Module: Icreon developed this module based on a Document Management System. Provisions were made for users to upload different file types to a document repository on the server. Users could also store information about the document such as the document title and a brief description. Integrated with a Bar-Code Reader |
|
|
Reports Module: This module allows administrators to generate reports. |
|
| |
| Apart from developing the above mentioned modules, Icreon also performed tasks to migrate existing application data, stored in SQL Server 2000, to Oracle 9i and synchronize this information. Icreon built the application with capabilities that allow it to be compatible with both SQL Server and Oracle. |
