I you're getting data from a (SAP) ECC HR system, ABAP (SAP ECC programming language) function module can be web-enabled by encapsulating them into a web-service. there is a 'simple' button for this. If you're not competent into the ABAP language, then just ask you're customer for the web service informations. This should be a black-box for you.
