So I’ve been following Dave Duffield for a while now, but have not written about him in some time. For those of you who do not know of Dave, he’s the founder of PeopleSoft and has launched a new venture….

2006 Technoloy Outlook
.
HR.com has a new HR Technology Outlook for 2006. As usual, I don’t completely agree with their outlook. My responses in blue. It’s an interesting article though. 1. HR technology software applications will continue to increase in functionality. Applications must…

And Kenexa too
.
This is more of a surprise than Authoria (last post before this). Kenexa was voted the top RPO. While I’m not sure who the competition was, I’m betting it includes the likes of Brassring and Recruitmax. Kenexa has not (to…

Authoria is Kicking Some A$$!!!
.
I’ve written a lot about talent management suites and vendors in the past. However, Authoria has grown over the last few years from being the leader in knowledgebase applications to being a clear leader in overall talent management. With a…

Talent Acquisition Metrics
.
Here’s a PDF from Webhire. I found it interesting that manual recruiting processes and automated TAS were not significantly more different in the type and quality of the metrics they provide. In all honesty, I don’t think that this survey…

Oracle Fusion, and future PeopleSoft functionality
.
Oracle Fusion has been a pretty good mystery for me. I have not heard much concrete information until lately. While I can’t tell you where this information came from (other than it’s not from within the organization I work for),…

Convergys expands BPO offering beyond HRO
.
No, I haven’t died, quit, or just gone away. I’ve been in the middle of parallel tests for a client and that has been an all consuming task. This also means that I haven’t been doing the normal market research…

Talent Management searches are up
.
This is actually a very poor polling technique, but it does at least show that companies are thinking about talent management. Unfortunately, I have no idea what people mean when they say talent management. To me, TM is a complete…

KPMG does not know the difference between DB and DC?
.
Well, we all know there is a HUGE difference between accountants and actuaries. (Do I need to tell any actuary jokes?) But this press release is a rather harsh example of why a good HR consulting firm lime Mercer, Towers…

Recently I wrote about BI software and forgot to put in Hyperion. Here’s a press release from Hyperion and their SAP partnership. Hyperion’s new center of excellence located at the SAP headquarters will allow them to provide SAP specific development…

State of the Industry – Portal
.
When I talk about portals, I’m talking about an HR portal – not the enterprise portal. Portal is not synonymous with employee and manager self service – portals indicate another level of technology. Here’s a good portal explanation from a…

The candidate experience
.
You know – sometimes I talk so much about the technology of how things work, that I feel like I’m giving the wrong imprssion of what’s actually important. Andrew makes a nice point regarding the candidate experience here. Granted my…

State of the Industry – HRMS
.
As a consumer organization, this is just a terrible time to be on the market for an HRMS system. There is a huge void in the mid-range that PeopleSoft used to fill adequately. Here’s my top vendors for the space:…

The technology of “Offboarding”
.
Yup – so we’re all familiar with onboarding now. (if not, scroll down and read a bit). Terminating employees has never gotten too much press aside from COBRA, HIPAA, getting your property back and exit interviews. However, just as there…

HR Service Delivery, Call Centers, and Outsourcing
.
So how does an organization actually improve HR service delivery? What is HR Service Delivery? Quite simply it’s the ability and effectiveness with which an employer delivers key services and information to employees, managers, and executives. For an employee, if…

Outsourcing vs. Data Privacy
.
I stumbled across this article on data privacy and what problems outsourcers are having. My general opinion is that even with the heightened awareness we have in the U.S. about data privacy and identity theft, HR organizations have not really…

Onboarding Part 3: Vendors
.
I’ll be honest, I totally forgot I was supposed to write a part 3. Thanks to an anonymous commenter to remind me. I’m not going to do a complete review at this time, but simply highlight a few vendors that…

Mid-market subscription based HRMS
.
I saw a press release about Sapien providing subscription based, hosted HRMS solutions to the mid-market. They are calling it “self provisionin” which sounds like a bad marketing ploy to me, but generally, the strategy is worth looking at. Dave’s…
