  • Human resource knowledge modeling and delivery system
    Patent number: 6640216
    Abstract: A knowledge modeling and delivery system combines pre-configured, parameterized models of human resource knowledge with organization-specific and employee-specific data. It delivers personalized answers to employee and manager questions about benefit plans, payroll, human resource (HR) policies, procedures, and practices. The pre-configured, parameterized models can be created and maintained outside the organization, the organizational data are created and maintained by the organization, and personal data are accessed or read from existing human resource management systems (HRMS's). This threefold partitioning yields a system that can be quickly customized to an individual organization, yields detailed and accurate information for individuals within the organization, and can be maintained in a cost-effective manner.
