We have already come to know about System, Management System & some popular
Management System’s name. Now, we will move to the further discussion in detail.

1. HRMS (Human Resource Management System)

A Human Resources Management System (HRMS), refers to the systems and processes at the
intersection between human resource management (HRM) and information technology. It merges
HRM as a discipline and, in particular, its basic HR activities and processes with the information

technology field, whereas the programming of data processing systems evolved into standardized
routines and packages of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. On the whole, these ERP
systems have their origin from software that integrates information from different applications
into one universal database. The linkage of its financial and human resource modules through
one database is the most important distinction to the individually- and proprietarily-developed
predecessors, which makes this software application both rigid and flexible. A Human Capital
Management Solution, Human Resources Management System (HRMS), or Human Resources
Information System (HRIS), as it is commonly called, is the crossing of HR systems and
processes with information technology. Human Resource Information Systems provide a means
of acquiring, storing, analysing and distributing information to various stakeholders. HRIS
enable improvement in traditional processes and enhance strategic decision making. The wave of
technological advancement has revolutionized each and every space of life today, and HR in its
entirety was not left untouched. Early systems were narrow in scope, typically focused on a
single task, such as improving the payroll process or tracking employees' work hours. Today's
systems cover the full spectrum of tasks associated with Human Resources departments,
including tracking & improving process efficiency, managing organizational hierarchy, and
simplifying financial transactions of all types. In short, as the role of Human Resources
departments expanded in complexity, HR technology systems evolved to fit these needs.
Modules
 Managing payroll
 Recruitment and onboarding
 Gathering, storing, and accessing employee information
 Keeping attendance records and tracking absenteeism
 Performance evaluation
 Benefits administration
 Learning management
 Employee self-service
 Employee scheduling
 Analytics and informed decision making
The function of human resources (HR) departments is administrative and common to all
organizations. Organizations may have formalized selection, evaluation, and payroll processes.
Management of "human capital" progressed to an imperative and complex process. The HR
function consists of tracking existing employee data which traditionally includes personal
histories, skills, capabilities, accomplishments and salary. To reduce the manual workload of
these administrative activities, organizations began to electronically automate many of these
processes by introducing specialized human resource management systems. HR executives rely
on internal or external IT professionals to develop and maintain an integrated HRMS. Before
client–server architectures evolved in the late 1980s, many HR automation processes were

3. 3
relegated to mainframe computers that could handle large amounts of data transactions. In
consequence of the high capital investment necessary to buy or program proprietary software,
these internally developed HRMS were limited to organizations that possessed a large amount of
capital. The advent of client–server, application service provider, and software as a service
(SaaS) or human resource management systems enabled higher administrative control of such
systems. Currently human resource management systems encompass:
Features:
 retaining
 hiring
 administration
 managing
 HR planning
 Recruiting/Learning management
 Performance record
 Employee self-service
 Scheduling
 Absence management
 Analytics
 Employee Re-assign module
 Grievance handling by following precedents

2. IMS (Information Management System)

Information Management System (IMS) is a general term for software designed to facilitate the
storage, organization and retrieval of information. IMS is also the name of IBM’s mammoth
software program developed in the 1960s to support NASA's Apollo space program. This IMS
version was the precursor to IBM's premier hierarchical database management system (DBMS)
Features:
 Database Management
 Reporting
 Open Access
 Integration
 Scalability

4. 4
Modules:
 Cloud and local installation flexibility

3. LMS (Learning Management System)

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration,
documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of electronic educational technology (also called
e-learning) courses or training programs.

Learning management systems range from systems for managing training and educational
records to software for distributing online or blended/hybrid college courses over the Internet
with features for online collaboration. Colleges, universities, school districts, and schools use
LMSs to deliver online courses and augment on-campus courses. LMSs also act to augment the
lessons the teacher is giving in a brick and mortar environment, not just replace them. Corporate
training departments use LMSs to deliver online training, as well as to automate record-keeping
and employee registration.

Features:
 Teach & Learn from any where
 Build immersive learning environment
 Give administrators the tools they need for success
Modules:
Efficiently create online training courses with intuitive course authoring tools, make training
modules and assessments with the eLearning Portal Software - and manage them through the
built-in email notification-and-reminder feature. Courses can also be given a time-frame for their
validity with our corporate training and development software.

4. RDMS (Relational Database Management System)
A relational database management system (RDBMS) is a database management system (DBMS)
that is based on the relational model as invented by E. F. Codd, of IBM's San Jose Research
Laboratory. In 2016, many of the databases in widespread use are based on the relational
database model.RDBMSs are a common choice for the storage of information in new databases
used for financial records, manufacturing and logistical information, personnel data, and other
applications since the 1980s. Relational databases have often replaced legacy hierarchical
databases and network databases because they are easier to understand and use. However,
relational databases have received unsuccessful challenge attempts by object database
management systems in the 1980s and 1990s (which were introduced trying to address the so-
called object-relational impedance mismatch between relational databases and object-oriented
application programs) and also by XML database management systems in the 1990s. Despite
such attempts, RDBMSs keep most of the market share, which has also grown over the years.

Features:
-Provides data to be stored in tables
- Persists data in the form of rows and columns
- Provides facility primary key, to uniquely identify the rows
- Creates indexes for quicker data retrieval
- Provides a virtual table creation in which sensitive data can be stored and simplified query can
be applied.(views)
- Sharing a common column in two or more tables(primary key and foreign key)
- Provides multi user accessibility that can be controlled by individual users.

Modules:



5. CMS (Content Management System)

6. 6
A content management system (CMS) is a computer application that supports the creation and
modification of digital content using a common user interface and thus usually supporting
multiple users working in a collaborative environment. CMSes have been available since the late
1990s.

CMS features vary widely. Most CMSes include Web-based publishing, format management,
edit history and version control, indexing, search, and retrieval. By their nature, content
management systems support the separation of content and presentation.

A web content management system (WCM or WCMS) is a CMS designed to support the
management of the content of Web pages. Most popular CMSes are also WCMSes. Web content
includes text and embedded graphics, photos, video, audio, and code (e.g., for applications) that
displays content or interacts with the user.

Such a content management system (CMS) typically has two major components:

A content management application (CMA) is the front-end user interface that allows a user, even
with limited expertise, to add, modify and remove content from a Web site without the
intervention of a webmaster.
A content delivery application (CDA) compiles that information and updates the Web site.
Digital asset management systems are another type of CMS. They manage such things as
documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data. CMSes can also be used for
storing, controlling, revising, and publishing documentation.

One of the most popular content management system options is WordPress, used by over 25% of
websites on the internet.

7. DOC MS (Document Management System)

A document management system (DMS) is a system (based on computer programs in the case of
the management of digital documents) used to track, manage and store documents and reduce
paper. Most are capable of keeping a record of the various versions created and modified by
different users (history tracking). The term has some overlap with the concepts of content
management systems. It is often viewed as a component of enterprise content management
(ECM) systems and related to digital asset management, document imaging, workflow systems
and records management systems.
Features:

 reviewing and approving documents prior to release
 reviews and approvals
 ensuring changes and revisions are clearly identified

9. 9
 ensuring that relevant versions of applicable documents are available at their "points of
use"
 ensuring that documents remain legible and identifiable
 ensuring that external documents (such as customer-supplied documents or supplier
manuals) are identified and controlled
 preventing “unintended” use of obsolete documents

8. PMS (Perfomance Management System)

Performance management (PM) includes activities which ensure that goals are consistently being
met in an effective and efficient manner. Performance management can focus on the
performance of an organization, a department, employee, or even the processes to build a
product or service, as well as many other areas.
PM is also known as a process by which organizations align their resources, systems and
employees to strategic objectives and priorities.
Features:
This is used most often in the workplace, can apply wherever people interact — schools,
churches, community meetings, sports teams, health setting,governmental agencies, social
events, and even political settings - anywhere in the world people interact with their
environments to produce desired effects. Armstrong and Baron (1998) defined it as a “strategic
and integrated approach to increase the effectiveness of companies by improving the
performance of the people who work in them and by developing the capabilities of teams and
individual contributors.”

It may be possible to get all employees to reconcile personal goals with organizational goals and
increase productivity and profitability of an organization using this process. It can be applied by
organizations or a single department or section inside an organization, as well as an individual
person. The performance process is appropriately named the self-propelled performance process
(SPPP).

10. 10
First, a commitment analysis must be done where a job mission statement is drawn up for each
job. The job mission statement is a job definition in terms of purpose, customers, product and
scope. The aim with this analysis is to determine the continuous key objectives and performance
standards for each job position.

Following the commitment analysis is the work analysis of a particular job in terms of the
reporting structure and job description. If a job description is not available, then a systems
analysis can be done to draw up a job description. The aim with this analysis is to determine the
continuous critical objectives and performance standards for each job.

Werner Erhard, Michael C. Jensen, and their colleagues have developed a new approach to
improving performance in organizations. Their model stresses how the constraints imposed by
one’s own worldview can impede cognitive abilities that would otherwise be available. Their
work delves into the source of performance, which is not accessible by mere linear cause-and-
effect analysis. They assert that the level of performance that people achieve correlates with how
work situations occur to them and that language (including what is said and unsaid in
conversations) plays a major role in how situations occur to the performer. They assert that
substantial gains in performance are more likely to be achieved by management understanding
how employees perceive the world and then encouraging and implementing changes that make
sense to employees' worldview.

Modules:
Managing employee or system performance and aligning their objectives facilitates the effective
delivery of strategic and operational goals. Some proponents argue that there is a clear and
immediate correlation between using performance management programs or software and
improved business and organizational results.[citation needed] In the public sector, the effects of
performance management systems have differed from positive to negative, suggesting that
differences in the characteristics of performance management systems and the contexts into
which they are implemented play an important role to the success or failure of performance
management.

For employee performance management, using integrated software, rather than a spreadsheet
based recording system, may deliver a significant return on investment through a range of direct
and indirect sales benefits, operational efficiency benefits and by unlocking the latent potential in
every employees work day (i.e. the time they spend not actually doing their job).

9. PROJECT MS (Project Management System)

Project management system or software has the capacity to help plan, organize, and manage
resource tools and develop resource estimates. Depending on the sophistication of the software,
it can manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost control and budget management,
resource allocation, collaboration software, communication, decision-making, quality
management and documentation or administration systems. Today, numerous PC & browser
based project management software and contract management software solutions exist, and are
finding applications in almost every type of business.

10. WMS (Warehouse Management System)

A warehouse management system (WMS) is a software application, designed to support
warehouse or distribution center management and staff. They facilitate management in their
daily planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling the utilization of available
resources, to move and store materials into, within, and out of a warehouse, while supporting
staff in the performance of material movement and storage in and around a warehouse.

12. 12
Features
A WMS uses a database configured to support warehouse operations, containing detail
describing a variety of standard warehouse elements including:[1]

Individual stock keeping units (SKUs) that are handled and stored, e.g., weight, dimensions,
case pack, automatic ID labels (bar codes, etc.), and inventory by location with manufacture
date, lot code, etc. SKUs may include basic materials, fabricated parts, assemblies, and
industrial and consumer finished goods, etc.;
Warehouse storage locations, e.g., individual location number, picking sequence, type of use
(picking, reserve storage, etc.), type of storage (each, case, pallet), location size or capacity,
storage restriction (flammable, hazardous, high value materials, outdoor, etc.), etc.;
Dock doors, e.g., individual number, etc.; and
Expected labor productivity rates by function or activity, e.g., cases picked per man-hour,
etc.
Daily management functions include

Planning - finalizing the daily plan for receiving dock activity, selecting the workload/orders
to be processed in the day or shift, (this may also be done by the business system), and
calculating an estimate of the labor and vehicles required to pick and ship the orders to
ensure the staffing is appropriate, and carriers are notified in time to meet the daily
requirements.
Organizing - sequencing the orders to be picked. Organizing orders for picking can be
accomplished in many ways, meeting the needs of the user. The primary objective is to be
intentional, and not pick the orders in the sequence in which they were received unless the
company wants to pay a carrier make sense for transportation and delivery. The initial way of
organizing was called Wave Planning or Wave Picking, with two objectives, a. to minimize
need for dock staging space, by having orders arrive at the shipping dock in trailer load
sequence, and b. to create an order of flow that will support monitoring the progress through
the day and eliminate/reduce last minute requests for overtime or delay of carrier departure,
etc.
Staffing - assign staff to work functions and areas, by Wave, to minimize staging.
Directing - ensuring the documented processes and procedures are embedded in the WMS
and are consistently applied, used and appropriate for the nature of the work and service level

13. 13
intentions of the company (e.g., International Standards Organization 9000 (www.iso.org)).
This function may also be used to divide individual orders into logical work units and the
ability to assign them to separate individuals for performance, consistent throughput
requirements and physical layout, e.g., separating individual case picking from each unit
picking, and individual pallet load picking, to improve productivity and supporting Control.
Controlling - providing milestones for management to monitor progress through the day,
providing the opportunity to respond to problems in a timely way, and report data for
performance analysis.
Modules:
Integration
Warehouse management systems have the capability to partner with staff in performing the
detail processes required to handle all of the major and many minor warehouse tasks of
receiving, inspection and acceptance, put-away, internal replenishment to picking positions,
picking, packing, order assembly on the shipping dock, documentation, and shipping
(loading onto carrier vehicles); processes including directing and validating each step,
capturing and recording all inventory movement and status changes to the data file.

An implemented WMS will be supported with a variety of communications technologies
(radio frequency), automatic ID technologies (Bar code, RFID, etc.), mobile computers, and
occasionally with automated material handling (conveyors and sortation) and storage
equipment (carousels, automatic storage and retrieval, etc.), that may be processed within the
WMS and sent to the business host computer in support of financial transactions, Advance
Ship Notice to customers, purchasing and inventory management, etc.

Types
Warehouse management systems can be standalone systems, or supply chain execution suite,
modules of an ERP system such as Odoo or Visual World. Depending on the size and
sophistication of the organization, the system can be as simple as a handwritten list that are
updated when required, spreadsheets using software such as Microsoft Excel or Access or
purpose-built software programs.

11. CR MS (Customer Relation Management System)
Customer relationship management (CRM) is an approach to managing a company's
interaction with current and potential future customers. The CRM approach tries to analyse
data about customers' history with a company, to improve business relationships with
customers, specifically focusing on customer retention, and ultimately to drive sales growth.

One important aspect of the CRM approach is the systems of CRM that compile information
from a range of different communication channels, including a company's website,
telephone, email, live chat, marketing materials, social media, and more.[2] Through the
CRM approach and the systems used to facilitate CRM, businesses learn more about their
target audiences and how to best cater to their needs. However, adopting the CRM approach
may also occasionally lead to favoritism within an audience of consumers, resulting in
dissatisfaction among customers and defeating the purpose of CRM

12. DMS (Decision Management System)
Decision management, also known as enterprise decision management (EDM) or
business decision management (BDM) entails all aspects of designing, building and
managing the automated decision-making systems that an organization uses to
manage its interactions with customers, employees and suppliers. Computerization
has changed the way organizations are approaching their decision-making because
it requires that they automate more decisions, to handle response times and
unattended operation required by computerization, and because it has enabled
"information-based decisions" - decisions based on analysis of historical behavioral
data, prior decisions, and their outcomes.

13. MPMS (Medical Practice Management System)

Medical practice management software (PMS) is a category of healthcare software
that deals with the day-to-day operations of a medical practice. Such software
frequently allows users to capture patient demographics, schedule appointments,
maintain lists of insurance payors, perform billing tasks, and generate reports.

16. 16

In the United States, most PMS systems are designed for small to medium-sized
medical offices. Some of the software is designed for or used by third-party medical
billing companies. PMS is often divided among desktop-only software, client-server
software, or Internet-based software.

The desktop-only variety is intended to be used only on one computer by one or a
handful of users sharing access. Client-server software typically necessitates that
the practice acquire or lease server equipment and operate the server software on
that hardware, while individual users' workstations contain client software that
accesses the server. Client-server software's advantage is in allowing multiple users
to share the data and the workload; a major disadvantage is the cost of running the
server. Internet-based software is a relatively newer breed of PMS. Such software
decreases the need for the practice to run their own server and worry about
security and reliability. However, such software removes patient data from the
practice's premises, which can be seen as a security risk of its own.

PMS is often connected to electronic medical records (EMR) systems. While some
information in a PMS and an EMR overlaps — for example, patient and provider
data — in general the EMR system is used for the assisting the practice with clinical
matters, while PMS is used for administrative and financial matters. Medical
practices often hire different vendors to provide the EMR and PMS systems. The
integration of the EMR and PMS software is considered one of the most challenging
aspects of the medical practice management software implementation.

Features
 Patient demographics
 Appointment scheduling
 Claims and statements
 Reporting
Modules:
14. QMS (Quality Management System)
A quality management system (QMS) is a collection of business processes focused on
consistently meeting customer requirements and enhancing their satisfaction. It is aligned
with company's purpose and strategic direction (ISO9001:2015). It is expressed as the
organizational goals and aspirations, policies, processes, documented information and
resources needed to implement and maintain it. Early quality management systems

17. 17
emphasized predictable outcomes of an industrial product production line, using simple
statistics and random sampling. By the 20th century, labour inputs were typically the most
costly inputs in most industrialized societies, so focus shifted to team cooperation and
dynamics, especially the early signalling of problems via a continuous improvement cycle. In
the 21st century, QMS has tended to converge with sustainability and transparency
initiatives, as both investor and customer satisfaction and perceived quality is increasingly
tied to these factors. Of QMS regimes, the ISO 9000 family of standards is probably the most
widely implemented worldwide - the ISO 19011 audit regime applies to both, and deals with
quality and sustainability and their integration.

Other QMS, e.g. Natural Step, focus on sustainability issues and assume that other quality
problems will be reduced as result of the systematic thinking, transparency, documentation
and diagnostic discipline.

15. Package MS (Package Management System)
A package manager or package management system is a collection of software tools that
automates the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing computer programs
for a computer's operating system in a consistent manner. A package manager deals with
packages, distributions of software and data in archive files. Packages contain metadata, such as
the software's name, description of its purpose, version number, vendor, checksum, and a list of
dependencies necessary for the software to run properly. Upon installation, metadata is stored in
a local package database. Package managers typically maintain a database of software
dependencies and version information to prevent software mismatches and missing prerequisites.
They work closely with software repositories, binary repository managers, and app stores

Features:
 Working with file archivers to extract package archives
 Ensuring the integrity and authenticity of the package by verifying their digital
certificates and checksums
 Looking up, downloading, installing or updating existing software from a software
repository or app store
 Grouping packages by function to reduce user confusion
 Managing dependencies to ensure a package is installed with all packages it requires, thus
avoiding "dependency hell"
Modules:
