    Not to be a naysayer, but sometimes cool things bug me the wrong way when I’m pretty sure the message is a lie. Today, Skillsoft and Plateau Systems are introducing the “first” integrated LMS and LCMS to be available later…

    You know, I never talk much about labor management (because payroll and timekeeping is boring), but here’s a great example. If we take a quick inventory of our major systems, we have: Core HR Payroll Benefits Administration Labor Management (Time…

    Talent, Outsourcing, and MSS

    Since my last post was on talent, I thought I’d see if I could tie it back into systems somehow. As we continuously look at talent in both retention and acquisition modes, we must realize that we’re not only trying…

    One of the major irritations to multinational companies attempting to manage their employees through a single database is the inability to outsource payroll to a single provider. Instead, if the MNC is in 20 countries, it’s likely they will have…

    ADP hiring index for Background Checks

    I’m very curious if ADP’s background check press release that the number of checks has tripled since 1997 is a realistic number. While I’m sure that as talent management has taken over the industry, the number of checks has increased…

    Oracle’s “Project Fusion” gives me great hope in the future of non-SAP HRMS. So I understand that PeopleSoft the ERP is gone, and so is JD Edwards. But the idea that everything will be swallowed by Oracle with no remains…

    Well, I did an Lawson Systems thing a week ago, so I figured I’d do Ultimate since they release improved earnings last week. Here is my very biased opinion: vendors like Lawson and Ultimate should just close shop and go…

    There’s quite a bit of Deloitte research out there on outsourcing in general. Much of it points to the positive impact of outsourcing, and a recent study notes outsourcing’s failure. Ok – that’s a bit dramatic I suppose. The outsourcing…
