Abstract

Systems and methods are provided that syndicate enterprise application system (EAS) data. A method includes creating a feed for an EAS module, generating a news item for the feed, and publishing the news item on the feed. Accordingly, employees in an organization are able to easily become aware of information about their organization by tightly coupling a syndication system to human resources management. The sharing of information throughout the organization creates a more inclusive and cohesive working environment. In one embodiment, the EAS data is enterprise resource planning (ERP) data.

Claims

1. A method for syndicating enterprise application system (EAS) data, comprising:

creating a feed for an EAS module;

generating a news item for the feed; and

publishing the news item on the feed.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein publishing includes syndicating using Really Simple Syndication (RSS).

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the EAS module is a human resources module.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the news item includes news about an employee.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein generating news item for the feed includes collecting data from the human resources module.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein creating the feed for an EAS module includes creating a feed for one of a position management module, a performance review module, an applicant tracking module, a payroll module, a training module, a time and attendance module, and a benefits module.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein generating the news item for the feed includes collecting data from one of a position management module, a performance review module, an applicant tracking module, a payroll module, a training module, a time and attendance module, and a benefits module.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a subscription request for the feed.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the EAS data is enterprise resource planning (ERP) data and the EAS module is an ERP module.

10. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to syndicate enterprise application system (EAS) data and that comprises:

creating a feed for an EAS module;

generating a news item for the feed; and

publishing the news item on the feed.

11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the EAS module is a human resources module.

12. The computer-readable medium of claim 11, wherein generating the news item for the feed includes collecting data from the human resources module.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the EAS data is enterprise resource planning (ERP) data and the EAS module is an ERP module.

14. A system for syndicating human resource data, comprising:

a human resources data module including a syndication module for publishing human resource data;

an administration console for configuring human resource data syndication feeds; and

a subscriber console for receiving human resource data via the syndication feed.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the feed is for one of a position management module, a performance review module, an applicant tracking module, a payroll module, a training module, a time and attendance module, and a benefits module within the human resource module.

16. A system for syndicating enterprise application system (EAS) data, comprising:

means for creating a feed for an EAS module;

means for generating a news item for the feed; and

means for publishing the news item on the feed.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein the EAS module is one of a position management module, a performance review module, an applicant tracking module, a payroll module, a training module, a time and attendance module, and a benefits module.

18. The method of claim 16, wherein the EAS data is enterprise resource planning (ERP) data and the EAS module is an ERP module.
