being built organically, on top of a common architecture and object model. The heyday for standalone talent management suites is over.
2014 Edition: Do You Know How To Answer These HR Technology Questions?
[ It’s HR technology conference season, and we’d better get our shit together if we’re going to get the maximum value from our time spent at these conferences. That means knowing what questions we’re trying to answer before we’re bombarded with vendors telling us that whatever they’re selling is the answer to our not-yet-formulated-clearly questions. […]
My 2014 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology
[I posted my first such wish list 1/29/2013, and just writing it lifted my spirits.

Modest Rant — Applications Integration By Any Other Name… Is Something Else
Painting The Roses Red Given the active discussion (debate?) over on LinkedIn about my proposed definition of true SaaS (now renamed “Blooming SaaS,” this post was intended to be more of an insistence on precise definitions than a disparagement of other business/deployment/architectural options in enterprise HRM software), I thought I’d rattle a few more cages.

My 2013 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology
Never mind trying to make meaningful predictions, which are very hard to do safely when you’re under a zillion NDAs. Instead, I’m focusing my energies on what I want to happen. What would I make happen if my magic wand, bought years ago at FAO Schwarz, could be recharged? What would I ask him to do if The […]
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.
