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:…

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…

HRMS vs. Point Solutions… again
.
I’ve written a few times that the day of the huge enterprise HRMS solution is over. PeopleSoft, SAP… they just don’t provide niche solutions that are as good as point solutions. So the recruiting tools in PS or SAP for…

The truth about what “integration” means
.
Integration? What does integration mean to you? Does integration mean the constant and immediate transfer of data between tables of different modules? Does it mean that there is no transfer of data between tables because tables are perfectly shared? Does…

Free downloadable HRMS comparison
.
HR Executive magazine has this on their website. It’s a nice grid of software that is fairly simple to read. http://www.workindex.com/hrexecutive/images/hrms_bg.pdf They also had this guide to specialty software (what I call point solutions) in the same format. So if…

My opnions on Lawson / Intentia software merger
.
I got a message requesting my thoughts on the purchase of Intentia Software by Lawson. I have not commented on this previously, because Intentia does not offer anything in the HR space – they are a pure CRM, MRP, SCM…

ADP v. Ceridian
.
I’ve been pretty clear in past posts regarding my preference for ADP over Ceridian. I have also been clear that Ceridian has more robust HR services. The market seems to agree with me, and if I take a guesstimate, 25%…

Hosted point solutions take advantage of weakness in ERP/HRMS market
.
There’s some serious movement in the hosted and integrated point solutions arena. Mostly I’m talking about Workstream, Kenexa, RecruitMax and Authoria. All of these solutions are offering portal oriented employee talent solutions. Each of these 4 vendors are also organizations…

This info is now old (May 17), but I always find it interesting to see how vendors are doing. HRmarketer.blogspot.com has a quarterly review of some trends. Here are a couple of comments I have: Paychex will always do well….

This is too good not to write about. Connect the dots: OK – so go to davesnextmove.com and check out John Malatesta. John Malatesta used to be the President and CEO of NetYourWork.com. NetYourWork.com was a web based tool for…

Oracle does the right thing
.
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…

Ultimate Software Review
.
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…

A primer on HRMS evolution
.
OK – so I promised a “primer on HRMS evolution” so here it is. I’m not actually talking about HRMS evolution as much as I’m talking about the purchasing trend that’s going on right now. Back in the good old…

A primer on messaging
.
Michael picked up on my workflow post and added some great points regarding messaging. I thought I’d do a light “primer on messaging” to round out the topic. Now I have to figure out how to explain this in 3…

Lawson Systems Review
.
OK – so I never mentioned Lawson until the last post. They are definitely one of the major vendors in the enterprise HR space, but I’ve always had concerns about them. My personal opinion is they are a prime takeover…

A primer on workflow
.
So what is workflow? Well obviously the first thing that comes to mind are the simple messages that we get when a database event happens. However, I’d like to take some time and expand on what this means, and what…

Good bad and sad vendor news
.
In an interesting vendor day, there’s good news, bad news and depressing news. First the good news. Oracle has released patches and fixes for the PeopleSoft products. Many organizations have been worried about the support Oracle would be offering, but…

Oracle and PeopleSoft
.
Looks like Oracle’s aquisition strategy is generally working out. While Oracle’s net profits are down due to increased short term expense, it looks like they will be hanging onto the majority of the PeopleSoft clients. a very low percentage of…

Does Kronos own Kronos HR?
.
I’m posting this because I’m fairly ticked off about a “conversation” I had with someone on another bulletin board. During this conversation (with many other people) I expressed some opinions about HR software and particular vendors. I also stated that…
