HRIS Integration or Migration
Human Resources Information System (HRIS) integration involves connecting a variety of HR apps allowing them to exchange information. This means you enter the data once and it is instantly available in all of your tools. What’s more, your actions in one system can trigger a response in another app.
​
People are the key to workplace excellence. If you give HR the knowledge and time to work with people, they can build the kind of culture, policies, and practices that set entire organizations free to be better at what they do. And when you give employees the power to help themselves, they feel more valued and capable as contributors rather than simple assets.

The process of integrating your HRIS or migrating your HRIS to a new system can be overwhelming. Optimal Analytics can take the lead to streamline and simplify this process for you.

Challenges
Preparation is key to avoid many of the common mistakes listed below.
Not Enough Resources
Rolling out an integration will require significant time, money and extra work. The additional workload could easily overload employees, especially when viewed within the business as a whole.
Change Resistance
Just because the leadership sign off on an integration doesn’t mean everyone will agree. Implementing an integration that streamlines workflows could cause employees to worry that downsizing is on the way.
Slow Adoption
The fact that HRIS integration offers benefits doesn’t make adoption automatic. It could take users time to adjust to the new way of doing things. On top of that, the system needs to be user-friendly or else it may cause frustration and hinder your employees’ ability to realize your company’s goals.
Lack of Training
Some of your people problems can stem from employees not receiving the training they need. If you’ve had the same processes and procedures for a long time, switching to the new method will take employees some getting used to. Without training, users are much less likely to master and feel good about using the new setup.
Dirty Data
If you previously had separate payroll and HRIS, they probably have inconsistencies.
It’s important to clean your data up before integrating and run audits to prevent errors from slipping in.
