Some good news for the HR technology and Talent Management technology vendors in the space based on informal poll.

A few things to remember:

• Don't go out blindly, be prepared with new business processes before speaking with vendors
• Try to bundle purchases into "suite" type approaches compared to single, siloed solutions
• Look for true "business" value adds and roll out functionality immediately instead of waiting till the end and doing "big bang"
• Focus, Focus, Focus on both efficiency and effectiveness - big overall trend in 2010 as recovery begins
