Here&#8217;s my list of players in no particular order:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Abra Suite<\/strong> &#8211; In here mostly because they are the dominant player in the small market and have captured significant market share in the mid market because of it. They have done a good job expanding functionality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>ADP Enterprise HRMS<\/strong> &#8211; As the leading outsourcer of payroll, they have also captured good market share in the HR applications space. Based on PeopleSoft, but with some additional development, they have a decent core application, but questionable integration once outside of the ADP suite of products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ceridian eSource<\/strong> &#8211; As the second in line for outsourced services, Ceridian has a nice HRMS product, but I&#8217;ve always questioned their ability to execute their development initiatives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Employease<\/strong> &#8211; A good vendor that Gartner put in the &#8220;leaders&#8217; quadrant of their magic quadrant of mid market HRMS players. A partnership with ADP gives them an incredible marketing arm to grow their market penetration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kronos Workforce Central<\/strong> &#8211; Sage software still owns the source code of the HR product. (think Abra on steroids). Kronos owns all development and marketing rights, and I suppose pays Sage some sort of fee. Kronos also has a great marketing arm, but has unerperformed in this space. You&#8217;d think that the larges vendor of timekeeping systems would be able to leverage their client base, but I haven&#8217;t really seen that so far.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lawson Software<\/strong> &#8211; Lawson as a good HR system, but perhaps with a higher implementation price tag. It&#8217;s probably at the top of the mid market segment, as they are really ERP, but not quite at enterprise HR level. I haven&#8217;t looked at the code for the current version ,but they say they&#8217;ve gotten rid of the COBOL batch processes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ultimate Software<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve never been a fan, but the market seems to discagree. They had a parternship with Ceridian and I&#8217;m not sure where that&#8217;s at. My main beef with Ultimate is a history of poor development (code base) practices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve long ignored mid market HRMS &#8211; to some of your dismay as many of you have e-mailed to me.
