Whether your organization has inherited multiple HR systems through acquisition, reorganizes so frequently that your systems can’t keep up, or is still using spreadsheets, missing foundational people data is stopping you from really using your talent as a competitive advantage. Most organizations use more than 3 HR systems to provide information on their people that often comes from multiple countries. Add to that the fact that the information in those systems is infrequently updated by the average employee, and it’s no wonder why many HR organizations struggle just getting an accurate employee record.
You could try to consolidate all of those systems into one in order to create a more solid foundation for your people information, but at an average project cost of $6 million and three years to implement, and that information option is risky at best. In fact, nearly 2/3rds of organizations don’t even realize half of the expected benefits of their HRMS projects. Consolidating or replacing your current core systems just isn’t practical. Besides, you shouldn’t have to throw out what is working just to get everything from one vendor.
The industry’s only virtual system of record enables one comprehensive view of your people regardless of the disparity of your core HR data and eliminates the need for costly and risky core HRMS consolidations. The virtual system of record can also integrate with information and systems outside of your HR infrastructure, like operations systems or LinkedIn, and even pull in data from spreadsheets.
It's time for something different. SumTotal believes it's time to set talent free.
