Human resource information system (HRIS) or also called a human resource management system (HRMS) is a software or online solution for the data in an organization.  It is a system and process interaction between human resource management (HRM) and information technology. 

According Kavanagh et al. (1990) define:

It as a “system used to acquire, store, manipulate, analyze, retrieve, and distribute information regarding an organization’s human resource. An HRIS is not simply computer hardware and associated HR-related software. Although an HRIS includes hardware and software, it also includes people, forms, policies and procedures and data.” (p.29)
