Applications Integration — Core HR And Talent Management

Applications Integration — Core HR And Talent Management

By Naomi Bloom on December 2, 2014

There is a tremendous need for deep and robust integration between the traditional HRMS processes,
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?

2014 Edition: Do You Know How To Answer These HR Technology Questions?

By Naomi Bloom on September 9, 2014

[ 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

My 2014 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology

By Naomi Bloom on January 15, 2014

[I posted my first such wish list 1/29/2013, and just writing it lifted my spirits.  So, I thought to myself, why not do it again?] Carnac In Bloom If any of us really knew what was going to happen in 2014, wouldn’t we keep it to ourselves and invest accordingly?  Furthermore, anyone worth their salt in […]

Modest Rant — Applications Integration By Any Other Name… Is Something Else

Modest Rant — Applications Integration By Any Other Name… Is Something Else

By Naomi Bloom on December 23, 2013

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.  In […]

Modest Rant — True SaaS Or Not

Modest Rant — True SaaS Or Not

By Naomi Bloom on November 25, 2013

I’ve been accused, primarily by those who would prefer a less than fully educated consumer, of obsessing over HRM enterprise software object models and architecture.  On the other hand, I would say that I’ve been paying close attention to what really matters, to the foundations upon which durably profitable and customer-serving software is based — and with good […]

Carnac the Magnificent [ I published the original version of this post on 9-12-2011, just in time for the 2011 HR Technology Conference, and I did an updated edition for the 2012 conference.  I had planned to do another updated version for the 2013 HR Tech Conference in Las Vegas and the 2013 HR Tech Europe Conference in Amsterdam (which […]

The Mysteries Of HRM And HR Technology — From The Pen Of Naomi Bloom

The Mysteries Of HRM And HR Technology — From The Pen Of Naomi Bloom

By Naomi Bloom on March 6, 2013

Those who know me well know that one of my greatest pleasures is opening, literally, a new mystery book of the British cozies flavor.  These are the types of mysteries written during the Golden Age of British mysteries by the Queens of this genre: Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers and Margery Allingham.  I so […]

My 2013 And Beyond Wish List For HRM And HR Technology

By Naomi Bloom on January 29, 2013

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

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 […]

Reprise In Time For #HRTechConf: Do You Know How To Answer These Questions?

[I posted the original version of this on 9-12-2011, just in time for last year’s HR Technology Conference.  Now here we are again, in frantic last minute preparations, but so wanting to be sure that our conference plans are focused on the important HRM delivery system issues that we’re facing.  So I thought it was […]
