Tailored Solutions to Transform HR Operations:
The Path to Developing a Multitenant HRMS Product for Scalable Results
We created an advanced HRMS product that integrates multiple HR modules, seamlessly connecting with Payroll and Employee Self-Service (ESS) systems. The solution was built on a secure, multitenant microservices architecture, providing a modular and configurable platform designed for enhanced scalability and customization.
Here are the highlights of the solutions we implemented:
Robust Technology Stack
The HRMS application was built using best-in-class technologies, such as Spring Boot for the backend and Angular 4 for the front end. This ensured a powerful, responsive, and efficient platform that met the demands of modern HR operations.
Multitenant Microservices-Based Architecture
A multitenant microservices architecture was implemented to enable scalability, faster synchronization, and seamless customization. This approach allowed the platform to cater to multiple customers while also providing the flexibility for each client to tailor the system according to their specific needs.
Customizable HRMS Modules
Indium developed highly customizable features across key HRMS modules such as Manpower Planning, Recruitment, Onboarding, Appraisal, Training, and Exit processes. These features were designed to be adaptable, allowing organizations to configure the system according to their unique workflows.
Seamless Integration with External Applications
The HRMS system was integrated with external applications, including Payroll Processing and Employee Self-Service, through Single Sign-On (SSO). This integration ensured a smooth data exchange and streamlined HR processes across platforms.
Cloud Deployment on AWS with MySQL RDS
The product was deployed on AWS, utilizing RDS for MySQL, ensuring high availability, reliability, and scalability while maintaining optimal performance for a growing user base.
Indium approached the challenges by focusing on creating a flexible, scalable, and secure HRMS solution that could evolve with the client's expanding needs. By leveraging modern technologies and designing the platform with multitenancy in mind, Indium ensured that the product could serve multiple organizations efficiently while maintaining confidentiality and security.
