Registration Management System (RMS)

The Registration Service at CERN is responsible for the registration of all the external staff working for CERN. There are many agreements with the host states, distinguishing the different work permits. Registration is carried out via the Human Resource (HR) database interface, based on Oracle Forms. This interface is very flexible but allows faulty or non-consistent database entries. Official documents are archived as paper copies. The RMS project was launched to define and develop the utilities for a new 'easy to use' user interface allowing the pre-registration of persons by their employers. Guided system and error detection procedures ensure consistent data. Powerful data retrieval systems simplify the search for persons and allow a large variety of listings. Official documents are also stored electronically and are accessible to authorized users.
