The Future Of HRM Software: Applicability/Eligibility

By Naomi Bloom on January 26, 2011

GOP View Of Obama’s Health Care Reform Bill This post is one in a series I’ve been writing about the preferred architectural behaviors for great HRM software, to include HRM SaaS InFullBloom (but many are equally important for single tenant HRM software regardless of how it’s licensed/subscribed and installed/hosted).  I posted the  introduction to this series […]

Dennis Howlett-Inspired Post #1 — Multi-tenancy In HRM SaaS

By Naomi Bloom on October 29, 2010

Dennis Howlett This is the first of what I suspect will be many posts for which the impetus is a question from a specific colleague, in this case Dennis Howlett.  So as to give credit, or at least curiosity, where it’s due, this one’s for you. Having seen me refer to (Dennis might say pimping) […]

#HRTechC2011 Prep: 65th Birthday Professional Resolutions

#HRTechC2011 Prep: 65th Birthday Professional Resolutions

By Naomi Bloom on October 11, 2010

Birthday Girl Circa 2000 Missing #HRTechConf this year meant, even more than the loss of professional learning/networking/vendor briefing/audience interaction/etc., not seeing good friends.  Since many of my closest friends began as professional colleagues — and that process continues – I really missed our annual “reunion.”  But I truly was where I needed to be, supporting […]

Naomi’s Questions For Oracle OpenWorld 2010

By Naomi Bloom on September 15, 2010

With Oracle OpenWorld 2010 coming up next week, I hate having to miss one of the major enterprise IT three, four, five-ring circuses of the year.  I would have loved to attend, but HR Tech 2010 is thefollowing week.  And unlike my much valued and much younger Oracle AR handler, Kris Barondess, I’m no longer able to […]

Event Report — Workday Technology Summit 8-23-2010 — Humongous Post

By Naomi Bloom on August 24, 2010

Workday held a briefing yesterday for twenty of enterprise software’s toughest and most knowledgeable analysts.  Workday had much more to say about their technology and business strategy, about their underlying architecture and object model, and about what’s cooking in the Lab than they’ve revealed thus far to this type of audience.  Even a few surprises […]

More Of Naomi’s Killer Scenarios: Retroactive Processing

By Naomi Bloom on April 27, 2010

Once upon a time, the concept of retroactive payroll processing was invented to handle the all too often situation of a personnel action (that’s what they were called when I was young) that was presented to “the system” after the date on which is should have taken effect.  Without a retroactive processing capability in payroll, […]
