HR Technology Conference 2014: HCM Roundtable
.
Every year we’re trying to figure out what’s next. 7 years ago, I started hearing about social HR everywhere, but the market really wasn’t ready. Every HR organization thought that social was a bad idea, with personal privacy challenges looming…

Is Cloud The Way To Go?
.
So I had to upgrade my cell phone contract. I used to be on this thing where I had a bucket of minutes and text messages to use, and now I’m on exactly the opposite. I have unlimited phone and…

Switching Gears
.
A long time ago, I used to work for ADP doing pre-sales. We had great relationships internally with services and implementation, but nonetheless it always seemed to come up that we didn’t always sell with the full lens of reality. …

Fusion HCM Website is Up
.
Just an FYI since this appears to be about the softest launch we’ve seen in ages. Considering we’ve been waiting for Fusion for a while. Here’s an FYI that the website is up and perhaps the software is in GA…

Back to Basics
.
It seems to me that there has been a renewed focus on core HR. Now I need to tell the truth, I really thought core HR was dead. I mean, it will always be around, but with the whole industry…

HR Technology Deployments
.
I love it when consultants come in and talk to you about all the things you need to do around an implementation. Obviously your implementer is going to do all the normal things around table configuration and testing, but they…

Evaluating the Demo
.
I’ll admit that a while back (wow – are we going on 10 years now?) I was an SC. You know – those guys from the vendors that the salespeople count on to demonstrate product during the sales cycle. SC’s…

Burnt to a Crisp

I have a friend who happens to have a particular way of ordering steaks. This is interesting for a number of reasons. First, I’m not sure how many Indian guys order steaks. Perhaps Gautam can shed some light on this…

System of Record: Everything in its Place
.
I’m sitting on a plane (delayed of course for 4 hours) thinking about the people around me. I have the fabulous exit row seat on the A319 where there is no seat in front of me. The guy in the…

Unbundling HR
.
Karen Beaman over at Jeitosa recently wrote about the unbundling of HCM systems that we’ve been seeing for many years now. She is exactly right, that often times the unbundling of HR applications away from a central ERP system provides…

Translating HR Data Elements globally
.
Global HR data is tough. Often times when we’re thinking about implementing a global core HR system, or a global data warehouse, we implement these systems according to a U.S. centric view of the world. (I’ll note here that I…

Global HRMS Cultural Issues

Core HR in a Point Solution World
.
Perhaps the statement that we now live in a “point solution world” for HR is a bit bold. Certainly in large and medium sized organizations, ERP deployments are still strong. However, we do know that these same organizations are increasingly…

CedarCrestone Pulse Update
.
CedarCrestone recently updated their annual HRIT survey covering the trends in HR budgets. It’s especially interesting right now as the economy swings down. There is obviously much more content and charts in the real report you can get from CedarCrestone,…

Workday Update
.
Being that Workday is announcing their Fall 2008 update today, I figured it was a s good a time as any to get this site back up and running again. As probably the most hyped vendor in the HR space…

The Workday Promise (and Challenge)
.
The fact that the market is excited about Workday would be an understatement. Hype around this company’s products and functionality appear to be racing quite past reality and approach mythical levels. Perhaps the confidence in the HR industry for Dave…
