I&#8217;m not actually sure that you can put all of your eggs in one basket, but you sure can put alot of them there.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example Hewitt.  So you give them HR call center, HR administration, benefit administration, retiree administration, payroll services, and they implement Cyborg HR for you.  They don&#8217;t have the greatest talent aquisition, so they partner or you choose someone else.  Then you have succession planning, and learning, etc&#8230;  Go with the best in class.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a great advantage to be able to outsource and strategize with a single partner who understands your business better than anyone else.  Then you pull in a few point solutions that are best in class and wrap the whole thing together with a self service portal like Plumtree in the front end and a data warehouse like Cognos on the back end.<\/p>\n<p>The point being, its ok to have one huge vendor doing most of your stuff.  Integrate the core functions that are critical to have in a centralized database.  Piece out the rest.  Same with sourcing &#8211; you don&#8217;t want to have 20 vendors pointing fingers when something goes wrong.  But when you can get the number down to a single partner with 3-5 other vendors, you&#8217;re in good shape.  Technology allows us to create integration points we could not manage 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s up with HRO vendors revisited.
