Project for selecting and implementing a new HR software

ASSIGNMENT:
Please prepare a text document (5 pages of content + references) on the following points. You are the person responsible for HR Information Systems at the company Better AG, where you were tasked to prepare a project for selecting and implementing a new HR Software. Give an insight into how you would convince the board of directors for the HR software project and how you would plan such a project (market research, vendor selection, RFP/RFI, implementation, rollout, project timeline etc.). Pay attention to a meaningful structure and a coherent argumentation according to the case. Orient yourself on the following leading questions:

Phase 1: HR software selection

Firstly, what are the most important project phases, project milestones and deliverables in this specific project in chronological order?

Secondly, which stakeholders of BETTER AG do you have to involve in the project? What are their expectations, hopes, fears and attitude to the project?

Thirdly, how do you convince the skeptical board of directors for the project? How does BETTER AG benefit through the introduction of a new HR software? What are your key arguments? E.g. if you were the CEO … How do you make decisions? What information do you want to have?
