As such the Analysis phase must highlight the short coming of the existing system and build on the premise that a new HRIS will be designed using an architectural structure that permits accessibility to HR information, connectivity between departments, and a shift in the culture of applications used at Riordan Manufacturing.

Pin point focus must be aimed at the data acquired, produced and consumed by applications, and not merely their internal structure.
