The 1991 survey shows 96% of respondents use CPISs. Systems based on packaged software make up 63% while 31% are based on in-house software. Use of minicomputers has increased to 32% while that of mainframe computers remains at 39%. There has been a notable decrease in the use of microcomputers. The potential of graphical packages is seen in the 37% increase in their use. Electronic office facilities are used by 34% of CPISs in the survey. The use of word processing software stays a 53%. Separate person/post information applications are present in 66% of the systems. Also discussed are the use of language inquiry and system support, training quality and facility of data entry.

CIP survey results 1989
Article Abstract:
On-going research by the Institute of Manpower Studies, which began in 1982, reveals how computers are being used in personnel departments. Results of 1989's survey indicate that computerized personnel information systems (CPISs) are increasingly being used by smaller organizations with less than 1,000 employees, which now make up 43% of the CPIS user market. Additional findings indicate that 70% of CPISs are package-based compared to 30% which are developed in-house. Findings also reveal that most new systems use micro or mini computers, and almost half of the systems are networked.
