Abstract: In this research, the degree of support of Human Resource Management System (HRMS) Suite of Oracle Applications ERP System for People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM) is examined. The analysis is carried out through key practices of each key process area in P-CMM Levels. Each key process area (KPA) in second and third levels is mapped to the functionality provided by the HRMS. While the degree of support for Level 3 is not significantly different from the one provided for Level 2, the degree of support for each key process area in two levels shows considerable variation. The results of the analysis for the key process areas in second and third levels show that, despite some lack of functionalities in some of the key process areas, the HRMS provides utilities and functionalities that will facilitate and support the performance of most of the key process areas in second and third levels. However, the support for fundamental team processes is relatively limited and there is an opportunity for these systems to extend their functionalities towards these processes.
