Article Abstract:
Management staffing computer programs should be designed and integrated to include consistent definitions for skills, level of experience, management development activity, and appraisal criteria and ratings. Company-specific staffing procedures typically include requirements such as open employee communication of opportunities, strict career paths for specialized managerial positions, and promotion from within the firm. Programs cover different populations and have different purposes such as succession planning, career development, and universal management staffing, but can still be integrated. Identifying who may use the system and how applications are submitted ensures the proper matching of individual and company goals. The planning process for automating and integrating a company's staffing and development system should consider both job applications and requisitions.

Article Abstract:
Mechanized management-staffing systems can help provide forecasting and decision-support information which is necessary to develop, identify, and use the professional and managerial skills needed to reach business goals. One system that can provide benefits is a succession planning system. The system can help managers to analyze what is required and identify key leadership functions. Data should be examined according to needs and goals. Useful succession system reports could include actual succession plans and organizational charts. An additional aspect of the system might be successor examination which analyzes every person identified as a potential successor.

Article Abstract:
Data collection formats called Value Added Collection Systems (VACS) may be useful for Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) in which data are widely distributed, and collection is critical to the success of the HRIS. Data collection on disks can be considered a VACS if the collected information goes beyond the data collection forms and their documentation. The advantages of VACS include lower costs, improved accuracy, and increased security.
