Sleepless Nights in HR Part 1
I got an e-mail from HR.com (actually I get several spams a day) advertising one of their conferences. In this particular one, they posed the question “What keeps you up at night?” Their responses for the most part made me scratch my head: How do I get a seat at the executive table? How can…

ADP Acquires Virtual Edge Talent Acquisition
In a great move by ADP, they finally got their hands on a great talent acquisition system. Truthfully, they have been on the hunt for several years, but the deals seemed to keep falling through. This time though, ADP struck gold with a TAS that has great technology, great functionality, and is priced better than…

Changing the Game: SOA and Business Intelligence
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is not just an enabler of business process and data integration. It allows your business intelligence engine to function as a single entity rather than multiple components. Historically, you’ve always had a reporting/query tool, an OLAP tool, and a dashboard/scorecard tool. In some cases, each of these may have had multiple…

Brad Pitt’s Love Child (at Talentism.com)
Jeff Hunter answers the question if he is having Brad Pitt’s love child here. Truth be told, I’m frightened by this thought. He also answers the secrets to having a successful website: Post frequently. Write stuff that matters to you and your audience. Be consistent in style, presentation and intent. Be fresh and engaging. As…

ERP – Vendor Updates
I did a thing back in August about SAP versus PeopleSoft. (Parts 1 and 2) I really should have done an SAP versus Oracle. To be honest, I have no intention of doing in depth comparisons of technology or functionality here, just some rather surprising revelations: SAP and Oracle have both been on my list…

Traditional Outsourcers – Vendor Updates
Outsourcers: This is a rather boring category as there are only 2 traditional outsourcers worth mentioning. However, the last several years have been interesting for both of them, but I’ll back up an entire decade since many people I talk to are pretty far behind on their news (the below in alpha order): ADP Global…
