In the modern world, the process of human resource management is recognized as one of the most important factors affecting the success of an organization on the market. At the same time, great importance is attached to the professional development of employees of the organization and to the individual approach to this process. Like other HR processes, staff development is automated with the help of special information tools. This article is devoted to the analysis of personnel management systems and talent management systems in terms of the possibility of management of individual development plans of employees of the organization. A method for two-step analysis of systems has been developed. At the first stage, the modular structure of the studied systems is analyzed and compared. At the second stage, the systems functional is evaluated and compared according to a number of criteria. Significance coefficients of criteria were calculated using the DSS “Solution”. According to the results of the analysis, we chose a system that is rationally suitable for the purposes of management of individual development plans.
