John Enyedy of Track-it.com HR solutions wrote this paper<\/a> 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 a reality in low end HRMS, but certainly I think most of us would simply say the writer is simply wrong.<\/p>\n

Overview of the HRIS Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

As is true with any product, HR software is designed for an ideal or target user. Since HR software is basically used for keeping track of employees<\/strong>, for the purpose of this paper we will divide companies into 3 categories Small (less than 100 employees), Medium (100 to 1000 employees) and Large (more than 1000 employees). The needs of each of these company categories are different as are the expectations of the user within each size company, so one of the first key questions that need to be answered is \u201cWhat is the target market for a particular product?\u201d Not only will the price of the software help position the product but also the features, installation and training costs and length of time to be up and running. Don\u2019t be fooled by price, often times a lower priced product will be the \u201cRight Product\u201d thus creating a substantial savings in time and money. Don\u2019t be fooled by long list of features, the \u201cRight Product\u201d is the one that meets your requirements, not the one with the longest list. Don\u2019t be fooled by a flashy presentation, the \u201cRight Product\u201d is the one that you and or your staff can easily learn, and use day-in and day out to help you do your job, not the one with the coolest screens etc.John Enyedy, January 2, 2006. “What You Need to Know Before You Buy a HRIS,” HR.com.

Considering this blog is all about the integration of HR technology and strategy, I find it odd that a CEO of an HR technology firm is saying their software is administrative only. Certainly I don’t think we’d ever hear this from the SuccessFactors or Taleo blogs, let alone a vendor’s marketing department!!! At the end of the above quote Enyedy goes on to say that the right solution helps you do your job and is easy to learn. No mention of how HRMS and other HR solutions help you manage your workforce and increase the flow of critical employee data to front line managers and executives. <\/p>\n

Certainly I’ve never seen Trak-It solutions. I’m guessing this is mid-market or below type stuff, but that’s not an endictment of the product. I’m just making an observation regarding the perceived value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
