Knowledge Infusion works on a daily basis around the US and the world with organizations that are looking to leverage technology to drive Talent Management. In today's world of SaaS (Software as a Service), many organizations forget about the vendors that already provide their HR and Payroll solutions. Solutions like Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson, Ultimate Software and service providers such as ADP and Ceridian also offer talent management solutions that many organizations overlook. A few things to consider:
The ERP providers are getting better by the day by building on to their solution with leading edge talent management functionality * Talent Management is a very sophisticated business process that requires multiple levels of integration to be done optimally. Many of the ERP solutions are a good solution. * Not all organizations need every bell and whistle to optimize their TM processes. The practice of each functional silo within Talent Management buying their own solution doesn't solve the problem, therefore, the ERP might be a good solution
The point of this entry is simple:
LOOK AT THE PRODUCTS FROM YOUR EXISTING HRMS/HCM PROVIDER AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO LEVERAGE YOUR EXISTING INVESTMENT IF POSSIBLE
One of the last things this industry needs is more shelf ware. Understand your requirements, tie them to your long term HR technology strategy, and make smart decisions as to how to leverage your existing solution.
Don't write off the ERP solutions so quickly. They are focused on talent management as well and will continue to optimize their solutions.
Another infusion of knowledge..
