In a broad sense, an HR needs analysis investigates an organization’s performance problems or opportunities for improvement to those problems. A needs
analysis identifies gaps in a system, such as HR. An HRIS can solve those problems and fill those gaps. A Request for Proposal (RFP) is used to outline the
requirements for a specific project, such as implementing an HRIS. The RFP is often used to get bids from qualified vendors and identify which vendor might be
the best-qualified to complete the project. The purpose of this assignment is for you to gain practical knowledge in conducting a needs analysis, researching
vendors, and writing an RFP. Keep the following information in mind as you complete your RFP: Continue with the Hello Technology! Corporation scenario to
