In another move that continues to show that HR needs to continue to think INTEGRATION, not INTERFACING; Workday today announces the acquisition of Cape Clear, a leading middleware provider. This move will continue to help HR tie together process and data point behind the scenes to make the user interface and employee experience even more crucial. Watch for Oracle, SAP, Lawson and the talent management vendors to continue to stress these ideas at an even faster pace of change after this announcement. Technology is no longer the bottleneck to a deployment as Rob Bernshteyn discussed today at the e-HR Conference in San Diego. Proof positive in this announcement today.
This move also continues to point back to the ideas that Knowledge Infusion continues to build into organization's HCM StrategyMap's which emphasize the need for HRIS and IT to focus on integrations, web services and the presentation layer to the workforce. This will continue to drive the success of HR deployments worldwide. This is a game changing move by Workday and a move that will get all vendors to continue to discuss value of integration into all HR and talent processes.
