In my \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/?p=228\">vision<\/a>\u201d diagram, I call the whole thing web service, but technically, web services and directory access should be broken apart \u2013 they are not the same, as we have discussed.<\/p>\n<p>The two technologies act together to provide users the ability to<br \/>\n1.\tinteract with multiple systems within a single unified presentation layer, and<br \/>\n2.\tinteract with systems by retrieving data and executing new data transactions.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s not kid ourselves.  This stuff costs a lot of money.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First, it assumes that you have purchased an HRMS and a set of point solutions that are capable of supporting these technologies.  Not all do\u2026 not even some of the best ones you see linked to on the right panel.<\/li>\n<li>Second, building out a portal (or buying one) and implementing it is something that could take years.<\/li>\n<li>Third, the more point solutions you buy, the more data transactions you need between system, the more XML you are going to build.  Not like yesteryear of the ERP &#8211; but not nearly as bad as async interfaces either.<!--more--><\/li>\n<li>Fourth\u2026 I\u2019m not actually sure anyone has ever done this yet, at least not perfectly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s we implemented technology because we could increase the rate of transactions and efficiency.  In this century, we\u2019ll think about technology\u2019s impact on service delivery.  As you continue to think about HR service delivery, think about the user experience.  In a web delivery model, 80% of your transactions should be between the customer and the HR portal.  The messier your data model and UI are, the fewer web transactions you\u2019ll have. <\/p>\n<p>So now that we&#8217;ve talked about some of the technology aspects at a high level, I present the vision again:<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/BlogContent\/Images\/system_small.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n(readable version of the image <a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/BlogContent\/Images\/system.jpg\">here<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Next Week:  Federated Access<\/p>\n<p>Previous Posts in this series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/?p=228\">HR Systems and Data Model<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/?p=229\">Web Services Part 1 &#8211; LDAP<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/?p=231\">Web Services Part 2<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So probably more in the last few posts than anyone who reads this blog ever wanted to know (assuming anyone knows what I was talking about).
