Learning And Talent Management Join Forces

HCM Software Market In Rapid Transformation

by Paul D. Hamerman, Claire Schooley

with Connie Moore, Shelby Semmes

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

In today's hypercompetitive environment for attracting and retaining talented employees, business process owners must have the ability to seamlessly assess employee competencies and job performance and then give employees learning experiences that will increase their job performance. Talent acquisition and rewards strategies must be part of the human capital management (HCM) equation as business executives and managers beef up strategies to attract and retain employees. Technology to manage these processes has typically been siloed across the organization. Specialized HCM vendors, including Authoria, Kenexa, Plateau Systems, Saba, SumTotal Systems, and Taleo, are expanding their application footprint, while SAP and Oracle look to dominate both transactional HR systems (HRMS) and strategic HCM process support. As the HCM market evolves, learning and talent suites will become more comprehensive and better integrated, replacing multiple point solutions in customers' HCM environments.
