Human Resources Management System (HRMS) is a software application that combines many human resource functions, including benefits like administration, payroll, recruitment & training, performance analysis and review into one package.

HR modules, shape an intersection in 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 planning and programming of data processing systems evolves into standardised routines and packages of enterprise resource planning (ERP) software.

On the whole, these ERP systems have their origin on 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 proprietary developed pre-decessors, which makes this software application extremly flexible.
