It's good to be Queen:-)

I’m Feeling Optimistic About The State Of HR Technology!

By Naomi Bloom on April 11, 2013

I’ve been feeling quite optimistic lately about the state of HR technology, which is quite a good feeling.  For most of my career, I’ve been frustrated by less than great software and less than great adoption of the best available software, but now there are multiple reasons for optimism on both fronts. First, I see several vendors moving and/or [...]

By Naomi Bloom on January 2, 2013

Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2012

Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2012

By Naomi Bloom on October 18, 2012

I’ve just reread my observations from last year’s conference, and you should too.  If I say so myself, it’s a pretty accurate portrayal of what was happening then, much of which is still happening but which is much farther along, at least in some (but by no means all) vendor products and some end-user organizations.  Rather [...]

Zombie HR Tech Vendors

Zombie HR Tech Vendors

By Naomi Bloom on September 14, 2012

What got me thinking about this was reviewing the list of exhibitors for the upcoming HR Technology Conference in Chicago.  There are vendors on that list who’ve been around at least as long as the conference (and some for much longer), never gaining much sales momentum, never gaining much financial scale, and never gaining much attention [...]

Loss Leaders: Great For Kodak Film But Perhaps Not For HR Technology

Loss Leaders: Great For Kodak Film But Perhaps Not For HR Technology

By Naomi Bloom on September 4, 2012

The use of loss leaders is also alive and well in the business of HR technology. But just as there was nothing dishonest about the use of loss leaders in my Dad’s day, there’s nothing wrong with doing it in our world. But caveat emptor must be our mantra if we’re going to avoid getting flim flammed.

HR Tech in Chicago.

By Thomas Otter on August 7, 2012

Gosh. I’m very pleased, read ecstatic,  that I’m not going to Vegas for what seems like the 400th time.  I get to go to Chicago, Chicago, that wonderful town. For the past few years I’ve gone to HR tech I have managed to largely lurk in the background. This year I have a couple of speaking [...]
