Why is HRIS Modernization needed?

Arizona’s HRIS technology is over 20 years old and the system is becoming obsolete. Having application support no longer available places critical records and financial data of all state employees and retirees at risk. HRIS modernization is needed to carry out efficient and compliant HR services, with leading-edge technology saving up to 3 million staff hours a year.

What is HRIS?

HRIS stands for “Human Resources Information Solution.” It is the enterprise resource planning system that the State of Arizona currently uses to manage all of its personnel, payroll and benefits data and services. HRIS processes more than $2 billion in annual payroll and administers HR, payroll, and benefits for more than 70,000 state employees and retirees.
