Abstract: This paper discusses sustainability of an already published implementation framework, which would help in achieving stakeholders' objectives. The framework has been found to be feasible for small organisations where employee strength is less than 2,000. However, in large organisations, spanning across geographies, it becomes difficult to implement HRIS applications and many times such implementations have not been successful because of lack of stakeholders' involvement, end users acceptance of features of the application, non-alignment of business goals with functionalities of human resource information systems and non-commitment from senior management. The paper discusses how step by step these parameters be addressed by using the published framework. The methodology adapted is case study for HRIS implementation for FAO has been illustrated. The benefits of such an approach are enormous in terms of on time implementation and meeting business needs.
