  • Our biggest challenge was getting good HR information to line-of-business managers and putting in place effective programs to backfill the large number of key engineers who were going to be retiring soon. When we started this project, none of our HR systems or data were integrated. In many cases we had paper-based records spread across different operating companies in 17 countries.

SumTotal elixHR picks up where traditional HCM stops.

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.

Features of the SumTotal elixHR Platform

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.

  • Comprehensive Employee Profile Gives you a unified view of your people and their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
  • Workforce Analytics and Planning Pulls information from wherever you need it for analysis, helping you make better decisions on your people and ensure the success of your most important strategic initiatives.
  • Development, Competency and Job Model Frameworks A foundational system elements.
  • Employee Directory and Org Charting Allows you to search for and find people across your organization by any attribute you capture.
  • Portal and Portlet Capabilities Allows for intermingling of SumTotal and non-SumTotal applications in one space for the end-user, greatly enhancing the usability and practicality of your solutions. That means your people have access to needed HR applications in systems where they are already doing other work, and those tools support the work they are trying to do.
  • Comprehensive Social And Mobile Capabilities Bring applications to your end users no matter where they are and how they really work.
