The global business practice has proved that the e-HRM platform implementation has a good influence on the development of an organization’s HR strategy. Although the financing of many e-HRM technology projects has been affected by the current global economic crisis, many organizations have understood the utility of such state of the art IT solutions applied in the HR area, and augmented its budgets. The assignation dynamic of the e-HRM system implementation budgets is influenced by the perception that the managers might have about the tangible and intangible benefits of these systems bring to the organization. This study intends to identify a trend model for the e-HRM budgets’ dynamics. In order to do that, we have developed and applied a longitudinal research aimed to determine the evolution in time that the e-HRM budgets’ dynamics trend has within a software firm.
