Did you know you needed one?  Most larger organizations will have a well developed HRIT strategy, some mid sized organizations might have put relatively little thought into theirs preferring (unwittingly) to patch things together as needs came up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Part of your strategy is the recognition that you have major dependencies on your master HR strategy as well as your HR service delivery strategy.  Clearly you cannot have an articulated HRIT strategy if you don\u2019t know what your HR strategy is.  How on earth can you know what to do with talent management technologies if you don\u2019t have a talent and workforce plan?  Similarly, do you really have a plan for your portal if you haven\u2019t really talked about what your overall employee experience is from all points of contact, whether call center, direct contact, or intranet services?<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Your HRIT strategy can consist of visions and choices around several areas, both functional and technical.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Should you outsource, and if so, how much and what components are appropriate?<\/li>\n<li>Do you go single source (ERP) on technologies? Or do the best in class solutions seem more attractive?  Where do you need best in class technologies and when do you need their functionality?  Where do ERP solutions really shine for you in terms of integration, and when is the integration point most important for your organization?<\/li>\n<li>How do you best deliver these applications to user and customer populations?  What\u2019s the appropriate mix of easy, useful, and engaging?<\/li>\n<li>Are you hosting the application internally?  Has your internal IT department given you adequate support, or is HR often sacrificed in favor of operational needs?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">At a lower level, your HRIT strategy really consists of putting together a comprehensive and cohesive plan about how your technologies and their interdependencies.  You have to know where the technologies interact with each other and plan the process efficiencies that are most important to your organization.  It might be perfectly acceptable to have totally manual applicant processing due to highly complex business needs that would have been costly to implement.  On the other hand, you might decide that processing and finalizing new hire changes is costing the organization too much and that manager effectiveness at this task will be increased substantially by moving the task to the web.  In the end, you\u2019d want to have a vision around how your applicant tracking and new hire processes integrate with manager self service components to add the employee into their jobs, completing the applicant hire process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We\u2019ll continue the discussion tomorrow\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have one?
