    .

    systematicHR

    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…

    Oracle Fusion, and future PeopleSoft functionality

    .

    systematicHR

    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

    .

    systematicHR

    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…

    systematicHR

    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…

    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

    .

    systematicHR

    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…

    Wal Mart on par with Tier 1 HR Consulting Firms

    Based on our last discussion, we probably realize that the power of business intelligence lies in the ability to consolidate HR data into a unified corporate data environment. Simple data extraction and running HR metrics such as turnover, time to…

    Paychex vs. ADP

    For the vast majority of employers, Paychex is a viable option. If you have followed my blog with interest, and find the players I generally talk about to be potential vendors for your company, then you are probably a larger…

    Mercer HRO takes off

    .

    systematicHR

    Well, I was wrong again. I really thought the Mercer SynHRgy merger was going to be a flop. In fact, I was fully convinced that Mercer would spin the HRO arm off sometime this year. Instead, they have 15 new…

    Wow wow wow… This is huge for point solutions. Authoria is buying Hire.com, meaning they will be that much closer to being a full service talent management suite. Check out my old scorecard of talent management solutions here. All Authoria…

    I’ve been hinting that ADP would go to SAP globally for HR/PR. The U.S. and central/south America will be the last ones, but here’s a press release saying Asia, Europe and Canada are on.

    I love Oracle. I’m not a DBA or even a halfway decent technologist. Just a semi-technical HR guy. But when Oracle came out with 10g application servers last year, I was a pretty excited guy. I saw a new press…
