Impressions From HR Technology Conference 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 [...]
Impressions From HR Technology Conference 2011
Ooooogah! Oooooogah! I’m exhausted but energized, if it’s actually possible to be in both states at once. I’ll leave it to others to do both the play by play and color commentary, neither of which is my forte. But I do want to summarize my key learnings in case they’re useful for others. I also [...]
M&A Observations: Oracle, Infor And… SumTotal?
When SumTotal announced in April a not unexpected acquisition of Accero (really more of an aggregation because both firms were already owned by Vista Equity Partners, a private equity firm with a now substantial stake in HRM #EnSW) along with the acquisition of CyberShift, I was not surprised. One could speculate at length, and others have done so, about the [...]
Snowdons Of Yesteryear: History Is Repeating Itself

I would have loved to attend, but HR Tech 2010 is thefollowing week. And unlike my much valued and much younger Oracle AR handler, Kris Barondess, I’m no longer able to [...]
Product Update: PeopleSoft 9.1 Talent Management
I’ve pulled the original post while discussions are underway with Oracle to address their specific concerns about its completeness, correctness and factual basis. (Cross-posted @ In Full Bloom)
HRM SaaS InFullBloom vs Everything Else: The Musical!
Since my singing finale to last year’s closing keynote at the HR Technology Conference (if you missed it, you missed it because no YouTube versions have popped up – yet), many colleagues have asked me about my next such performance. And no, the picture (that’s me in the foreground) isn’t from HR Tech but rather from my long [...]
Retirement Planning
Queen Elizabeth With President Obama
Fooled ya. This isn’t about me but about your HRMS — my own retirement planning will be addressed in a future post, dated sometime after the 2nd coming.
With a new generation of ERP/HRMS in release or coming next year, a reasonable question is when and how to plan for the retirement of [...]
