Pedro is a human resources manager at a consumer goods manufacturer. The company has grown rapidly in the past two years, and the HR department has been overwhelmed with recruitment, hiring, and onboarding of new hires. Further, each department has specific hiring needs but has not effectively communicated this to the HR department, causing a shortage of necessary talent in operations and supply chain and too many employees with little to do in finance and accounting. Pedro knows it is time to upgrade the company$$s HR software to help manage HR functions. Which of the following would be an effective solution for his company$$s HR needs?

An integration between just the HR and finance departments to inform payroll and benefits decisions without complicating matters with other departments

An HRIS system, because it would simplify the company$$s data collection and analysis processes and feed real$-$time data to the HR department

A standalone HCM software, because the HR department needs to focus on improving internal processes

An HR module within an ERP software, because it would facilitate scenario planning and sharing data on human resource needs between departments
