2. What are some of the costs and benefits involved in this investment in an HRIS? Which would you be sure to include in your BCA of this project and why?

3. Explain how to estimate costs and benefits, both direct and indirect, in terms that Jim will understand. (Remember, Jim always has his eye on the “bottom line.”)
