Casico (2006) adopted this framework; however, he divided the seven functions into two
dimensions. He commented that four functionalities for HRIS are related to HR practices
concerned directly with the organizational employees. These functions are personnel
development, communication and integration, records and compliance and HR Analysis. He
added that the three remaining functionalities (strategic integration, forecasting and planning
and knowledge management) represent HR department role in the organizational practices in
general and the strategic management in specific.
