An Interview with Workstream

Vendor or Client – Who’s Fault Is It?
.
I was speaking with Donald Glade from Sourcing Analytics the other day and through our discussion I realized I needed to follow-up on my post about “HR Technology Does Not Make Us Strategic.” As I went through my bullets of…

HRMS Comparison Tool
.
I went through an HRMS comparison tool on-line with some pretty interesting results. Just thought I’d let you all know it’s out there. The tool walks you through a number of questions (size, # of users, required modules like ESS,…

2005 HRMS Buyers Guide

Just a quick post to put this out there for the sake of publicizing a resource. This is from Human Resource Executive Magazine. The buyers guides are not terribly complete, but it’s about the best I’ve seen. HRMS Buyers Guide…

HRO Superstars
.
Through Hager Strategic I found HRO Today’s listing of 2006 HRO Superstars. Really quite a nice list of who’s who in HRO from a vendor and client standpoint. It also includes a list of advisors and advisory firms that I…

Value of Mid Market HRMS = Not Much
.
John Enyedy of Track-it.com HR solutions wrote this paper for HR.com. I really need to stop reading things in HR.com and SHRM as I’m never terribly impressed. As usual, I have a difference of opinion. Perhaps the below quote is…

Great Talent Acquisition Systems Insight
.
A while back I posted a TAS vendor “review” of sorts. Obviously I’ve also been doing some research for my series on talent (Part 1 &2 here). In doing the research, I re-stumbled on some of Talentism’s previous writings taht…

cFactor Portal Review and ADP Portal Redux

Back to the ADP portal discussion, I was invited to take a look at cFactor’s self service portal and came away pretty impressed. A very clean user interface that is obviously brand-able with whatever your organization needs. The standard package…

The ERP Graveyard Scorecard
.
For those of you who track ERP outside of the HRMS/HCM space, I found this fun graveyard: The ERP Graveyard Scorecard. I’ll think about doing this for HRMS and point solutions. This could take a while…

Wal Mart HMO – really…

Nope, I wasn’t kidding. Is there anything that the “great” Wal Mart won’t do or try? Wal Mart HMO press release. ExtendChoice(TM) is a defined contribution health care program that allows employers to provide their employees tax free dollars to…

ADP Benefit TCO study
.
ADP’s benefit TCO study presented some very interesting numbers as well as a few questions: First, I’m not at all surprised that outsourced benefit administration is less costly from a TCO (total cost of ownership) measure than in-house benefit admin….

Who/What I’ll be Watching in 2006

Vendors: Success Factors – Good functionality built on good technology. Add to that a positive cash flow and things are looking up. Authoria – Strong brand, technology and marketing. I’m not sure what 2006 looks like for them, but I…

ADP’s On-Demand HRMS Direction
.
I saw this press release and got to thinking about ADP’s direction with HRMS. Why do I keep talking about ADP and why are they important? Being the 10,000 lb. gorilla in the payroll market, they are actually also one…

TAS Vendor Scorecard

Well, I’ve done talent management scorecards a few times, but never talent acquisition. This is not really a scorecard or vendor functionality comparison. Here are my top 4 vendors and a few notes about them. This is not a review…

TMS (non) fiancials
.
I seem to have made the quite unwise statement that I would attempt to evaluate the financials of several TMS vendors. Realizing now that I should take that statement back (entirely possible with just a quick stroke of the keyboard)…

Tax Credit Screening (and a few $100K)
.
A few days ago, I got an e-mail from someone requesting my thoughts on Projectix. The e-mail said, “I would say it [is a] TMS program. Wouldn’t you?” A few e-mail exchanges later, I basically said that it was not…

Authoria tops the TMS vendors?
.
In a rare show of self control, a vendor has incredible press that it doesn’t show off on it’s website. ***NOTE – I have been corrected. Sometimes the most obvious things are not readily apparent to me. The huge orange…

What’s up at Hewitt?
.
Jason also posted this about Hewitt recently. I actually don’t have a further comment other than I’ve been seeing lots of laid off Hewitt associates filtering through other organizations. Anyone know the full extent of these layoffs and to what…
