An organization is expanding due to a merger and is evaluating which HRIS vendor would fit the future environment. Which feasibility approach will help determine this?

• A. Administrative
• B. Operational
• C. Strategic
• D. Economic

Answer: (B)

When evaluating an HRIS for a merged organization, you’re looking at how the system will function in daily operations within the new environment. Operational feasibility focuses on whether the HRIS can be integrated into ongoing workflows, support the redesigned processes, handle data migration and system interfaces with other tools, and provide usable training and ongoing maintenance. It answers: can this system run smoothly day-to-day as the organization grows and changes after the merger? If the vendor’s solution can operate effectively within the future processes, scale as needed, and be supported reliably, it’s the right fit for the new environment. Administrative feasibility deals with governance and policy readiness, strategic feasibility with alignment to long-term goals, and economic feasibility with costs and benefits; those aspects are important but don’t directly assess day-to-day operability in the merged context.
