Introduction
Effective management of employee information is vital for every business. To facilitate the day-to-day internal needs of eSystems’ management team and its employees, we have proposed a new Employee Management System. The aim of this system is to offload some of the employee-centric administrative tasks away from individual email chains and into a centrally managed information system. Some examples of such tasks are periodic employee appraisals, maintaining up-to-date immigration and visa information, automated reminders for timely immigration action items, and other relevant communications. This system will enable fast, convenient storage and on-demand retrieval of relevant information within a modern responsive web application.
This document briefly outlines functional and technical information related to the new Employee Management System. The primary goal of the Application is to conveniently maintain employee data. It will be built on a three-tier loosely coupled architecture based on Rest API.
