The HR department is governed by the company’s quality system that governs all software development activities. There are a number of MIS reports generated by the HR Department, which at present, are either manually done or done using Microsoft Excel. The data is maintained in various Excel formats. There is a need to rationalize the database and bring in control in managing the data.

The Java programming language has been selected to be the go between the data store and the application. The Java programs will be accessed by the browser using the JSP technology.
