This paper presents a solution for managing the specific HR assets in research organizations, i.e. the scientific track record of scientists and researchers. The solution has already been installed at the Mihajlo Pupin Institute (MPI) in Belgrade as a part of the knowledge management initiative started a few years ago. It is based on SAP Human Capital Management (HCM) solution that ensures standardized integration and automation of HR activities and provides a wide range of reporting options. However, as standard SAP HCM solution does not cover the specific aspects of the R&D business process, the additional functionalities were built upon the standard SAP system in order to keep an extensive record of the employee professional and scientific life including scientific and professional skills and expertise, degrees and certificates obtained, information about engagements in concrete projects with details about their roles and competences, scientific achievements (patents, technical solutions, scientific papers/ books), other achievements/awards, etc. The new functionalities were build taking into consideration the recommendations of Serbian Ministry of Science for compilation of the Researchers file. The new HCM solution is used for analysis and reporting indoors, as well as towards Serbian Ministry of Science and Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia. Moreover, CVs of researchers are also kept in several standard forms (European Commission, World Bank, Microsoft, etc), facilitating preparation of international project proposals and bidding material. In this paper we discuss the implementation aspects of the solution, as well as the lessons learned and the benefits gained.
