Objects To The Left Of Us, Objects To The Right

Persistent HRM Object Model Errors Part I — Job And Position

By Naomi Bloom on February 3, 2015

Introduction In May 2012, I published a blog post that covered the basics of objects and object modeling — the very basic basics.  Assuming you’ve all been studying this topic since then (if you hadn’t already done so), it seemed like a good time to note that simply applying the right modeling techniques does not get […]

Smart Machines/Robotics — Implications For HRM/HRTech — Where Do I Begin?

Smart Machines/Robotics — Implications For HRM/HRTech — Where Do I Begin?

By Naomi Bloom on February 13, 2014

Hi, I’m Naomi, Your HR Tech SmartyPants Robot Last week I was privileged to deliver a presentation to the top women execs at ADP about the future of HR and HR technology.  Sounds straightforward enough, but it wasn’t.  My presentation wrote itself, and it demanded that I title it: ” A Tale of Two Futures.” […]

Applications Integration — Financials And HR

Applications Integration — Financials And HR

By Naomi Bloom on January 8, 2014

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about both business and applications integration.  You may have read my modest rant on the bastardization of the term integration as used to describe how applications are connected.  You also may have seen my videocast comments on the reasons why I think that your HRMS and core talent management applications […]

SAP, SAP, Wherefore Art Thou SAP?

SAP, SAP, Wherefore Art Thou SAP?

By Naomi Bloom on May 28, 2013

SAP Founders 1988 — Klaus Tschira On The Left I’ve always had a warm spot in my heart for SAP.  When I published my first (and thus far only) 700+ page book in 1994 (“Human Resource Management and Information Technology: Achieving A Strategy Partnership”), Klaus Tschira, one of SAP’s founders, became a big fan of my […]

Interrogatory Configuration And Workday’s Tech Summit 2012

Interrogatory Configuration And Workday’s Tech Summit 2012

By Naomi Bloom on November 20, 2012

You may have thought that everything that could be said about Workday’s Tech Summit 2012 had already been posted, but you were wrong. There was another announcement made there quietly, as befits the first steps on what is going to be a multi-release, probably multi-year product journey, that has not yet been covered.

Me And Mr. Bill!

I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat, forest fires, and deluge of political ads) while getting enough rain to float all our boats.  Lake Devonwood is almost up to our pool cage, and it’s only the […]

Pattern Recognition With The Cookie Monster

[This post is dedicated to Marc Maloy, SVP Worldwide Sales at HireRight, just because he asked for it.  It’s the story of objects from a decidedly human resource management (HRM) perspective.  For you object modeling mavens, rest assured that my knowledge of this topic as it is applied to software […]

Product Update: Workday 16

By Naomi Bloom on April 24, 2012

Workday 16 On Tablet [Full disclosure:  Workday is a client as are several of her competitors.] It seems like only yesterday that I was writing (we were all writing) about Workday 10.   But two years have passed, and those folks have been hard at it, with three major releases each year. I for one am […]

The Future Of HRM Software: Agile, Models-Driven, Definitional Development

By Naomi Bloom on April 16, 2012

[Huge shout-out to Stan Swete of Workday and Raul Duque of Ultimate (both of whose firms have been clients, as was Raul’s former employer, Meta4) for their review and feedback on my much shorter first draft of this post, which addressed only models-driven development.  Based on their feedback, I’ve now touched on agile software development and metadata-driven […]

Deliver Me From Today’s Hot Topics!

Deliver Me From Today’s Hot Topics!

By Naomi Bloom on April 2, 2012

It’s only April, barely the start of 2012′s vendor and industry conferences with their associated rebrandings, new positionings, exciting partnerships and product announcements, and I’m already tired of the constant drumbeat on mobile/social/big data/in-memory/analytics/consumerization etc. of enterprise HRM software.  When everybody’s talking about the same things — even if most vendors don’t have many to most of these […]
