The HR system selection problems we solve

 

Often, HR tech buyers don’t fully understand the dynamics of the market and who the best suppliers are for their needs. And who can blame them, the market changes quickly and new technology is being developed all the time. 

PQQs, RFIs, RFPs don’t adequately capture the subtle differences between the galaxy of solution providers, and even if they did, buyer’s don’t trust what the vendors tell them.

Sure, you can work with one of the big consultancy firms. They’re all in the pockets of the enterprise ERP systems though so, no prizes for guessing who they’ll recommend. The result, a lot of buyers waste a lot of time and money, and still end up selecting an HR system that’s not right for them.

We solve this.

What is an HR system?

An HR system is software used by the human resources teams in organisation to manage their people and people related processes. Think of it like a large database designed to store details, documents, records, activity, achievements and concerns about the people who work, or have worked in your organisation. From this information, HR systems can automate many tasks, improve communications. There are dozens and dozens of different HR software solutions available on the market, all with a unique range of functionality across the entire employee lifecycle.  

What is the best HR system?

The correct answer is, it depends. It depends on your specific needs, your future plans, strategy and budget.

Why use an HR system?

An HR system will enable an organisation to understand and manage their people more effectively across the entire employee lifecycle. HR software can help to ensure you have accurate, up-to-date records about your employees and store them in a secure way. HR systems can also automate routine tasks, making you more efficient,  improve communications and even protect you from legal disputes by ensuring you have robust employee records.
