1. Right Answer: C
Explanation: The cloud repositions software as a service to be consumed. Software is migrating away from being sold or licensed as a complete singular product and moving toward a subscription service.
2. Right Answer: D
Explanation: Scalability refers to the ease with which a system can respond to changes in demand. When a system is scalable, it is inherently less wasteful; technology does not sit idle while waiting for an increase in demand for service or as a result of decreased demand. System size must balance efficiency and service; in the interests of efficiency, response time may diminish slightly. Scalability does not affect business continuity, the ability of an operation to resume function after an interruption. Learning time is affected more by screen and operation designs that are more intuitive for users.
3. Right Answer: B
Explanation: The logic tier contains the applications that use information in the data tier (databases, stored data) to perform operations (e.g., applicant tracking software, project management systems).
4. Right Answer: C
Explanation: BOB solutions provide quicker implementation because they are simpler and affect fewer employees. The other advantages listed apply to integrated solutions rather than BOB.
5. Right Answer: B
Explanation: For effective information management, a balance must be struck between openness, in the form of easy access to a large amount of information, and the security of that information from those who would misuse it.
6. Right Answer: C
Explanation: HR's approach to this project does not recognize IT's responsibilities and needs. IT may refuse to allow the system to be installed on a shared system out of concern for security and incompatibilities or because they cannot estimate the demand the additional technology will have on IT's support resources.
7. Right Answer: A
Explanation: Organizations that implement a best-of-breed (BOB) strategy pick the best applications for each HR functional area, working with one or more vendors. For example, the organization might use a recruiting solution from one vendor and a payroll system from another. Increased access for many users (such as employees, managers, health insurers, workers' compensation carriers, senior executives, job applicants, and regulatory agencies) may apply to BOB or integrated solutions. The other choices here are characteristics of integrated solutions.
8. Right Answer: B
Explanation: SaaS technology would meet this organization's needs because the service is generally priced according to the volume of use. Up-front costs are minimized, which fits with the limited cash flow in this type of organization and makes switching to another solution fairly simple. Another benefit of SaaS here is that, in most cases, it will not place a heavy burden on IT; the vendor performs most support tasks. The possible disadvantage is that integrating the software with existing technologies may be a challenge that IT cannot perform. What is the first step in an HRIS implementation? Selecting a project committee Assessing organizational needs Soliciting vendors Evaluating available systems Needs must be determined before selecting a project committee, soliciting vendors, or evaluating available systems. The organizational needs will drive what vendors are selected and what systems will be reviewed.
9. Right Answer: D
Explanation: MCDA tools weight specific purchase factors according to their importance to the organization. For example, the tool may weight scalability more heavily for an HR organization that anticipates growth in the near future. The tool is scalable in that it will accommodate more vendors, but that is not its most useful characteristic. It does not reduce risk or the need for research. The quality and comprehensiveness of the research will reduce the risk of making a poor decision.
10. Right Answer: B
Explanation: Policies restricting access to certain websites (e.g., sexual content) aim at managing risk to the organization's data security posed by questionable sites. The policy may also deter downloading of materials that could be used to harass other employees and pose legal liabilities for the organization. This policy is not aimed at increasing productivity or monitoring activity. It may indirectly preserve the organization brand by preventing problems, but this is not its primary purpose.
