Jim Holincheck had a write-up<\/a> a week ago about how SaaS is not necessarily the answer to compete with the ERP\u2019s for the talent management space, but that the ERP\u2019s don\u2019t have the right technology to leverage their newest functionality against the market need.\u00a0 Basically, Jim points out a very important fact that I often ignore: ERP functionality might be (getting) better, but if you\u2019re on one, you\u2019re not going to upgrade for a few more years.\u00a0 Do you wait, or do you just get a point solution?<\/p>\n Jim also has a great idea.\u00a0 Decouple the modular functionality from core HR and allow ERP users to be on multiple versions.\u00a0 After all, there\u2019s no problem having SAP financials, SCM and HR all on different versions.\u00a0 There are obvious cost problems with this such as redundant hardware all within HR, and multiple set-up of core HR that\u2019s required, but if you could figure your way around those problems, theoretically SOA should help you out.\u00a0 (in fact, basic ERP integration should help you out).\u00a0 I\u2019m a big believer that as far as vendors go, the ERP\u2019s are way out in front for developing web services, but the model just doesn\u2019t work in the current configuration.\u00a0 In fact, that lead doesn\u2019t help them out at all \u2013 it pushes companies further towards the point solutions.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, I don\u2019t know that the ERP\u2019s adopting a SaaS model is the answer as Jim wonders.\u00a0 There is a place for the ERP in the market and not everyone wants to give up the control of their data and customization capabilities.\u00a0 I do think that Jim\u2019s idea of decoupling the functional components is brilliant and I\u2019d love to hear what the likes of Thomas Otter<\/a> have to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Links to Jim and Thomas Jim Holincheck had a write-up a week ago about how SaaS is not necessarily the answer to compete with the ERP\u2019s for the talent management space, but that the ERP\u2019s don\u2019t have the right technology…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-hr-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=701"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/701\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=701"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=701"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/systematichr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=701"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
