Persistent HRM Object Model Errors Part I — Job And Position
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 […]
Applications Integration — Core HR And Talent Management
There is a tremendous need for deep and robust integration between the traditional HRMS processes,
being built organically, on top of a common architecture and object model. The heyday for standalone talent management suites is over.
Applications Integration — Financials And HR
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 […]
Modest Rant — Applications Integration By Any Other Name… Is Something Else
Painting The Roses Red Given the active discussion (debate?) over on LinkedIn about my proposed definition of true SaaS (now renamed “Blooming SaaS,” this post was intended to be more of an insistence on precise definitions than a disparagement of other business/deployment/architectural options in enterprise HRM software), I thought I’d rattle a few more cages. In […]
Modest Rant — True SaaS Or Not
I’ve been accused, primarily by those who would prefer a less than fully educated consumer, of obsessing over HRM enterprise software object models and architecture. On the other hand, I would say that I’ve been paying close attention to what really matters, to the foundations upon which durably profitable and customer-serving software is based — and with good […]
#HRTechConf & #EuroHRTech: 68th Birthday Resolutions
Birthday Girl! As I get ready to host Brazen Hussies events, speak at and attend the 2013 HR Technology Conference in Las Vegas and the (not related) European HR Technology Conference in Amsterdam, I’ve got some surprises up my sleeves, to include announcing my latest professional resolutions. There’s nothing more motivating when you really want to […]
SAP, SAP, Wherefore Art Thou SAP?
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 […]
HRM Analytics — Dashboards, Cockpits And Mission Control
[Many of you know that my husband, Ron Wallace, was a mission manager at NASA for international Search and Rescue Programs (official program name COSPAS/SARSAT) until he took early retirement in 1999 so that we could relocate to our present home in Fort Myers, FL. We were both fascinated by all things spacey, and continue […]
Interrogatory Configuration And Workday’s Tech Summit 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.
Everybody’s Talking ’bout Workday’s IPO, But I Think There’s Still More To Say
I still haven’t digested every word in Workday’s recently released S-1, nor am I likely to do so before I publish this post. But I have been reading a ton of coverage of this event, some really excellent and some much less so. A major shout-out to @SAP_Jarret (and many others) for posting some of the best […]
