Traditional HCM solution challenges

 

We understand the frustration of traditional HR technology, characterised by siloed data and patchwork integrations. It introduces unnecessary complexity and limits your view of the organisation – and your opportunity for growth. But the challenges don’t stop there:

 

  • Inconsistent innovation delivery: access to new features depends on the platform and version deployed.

  • Data integration challenges: disparate applications create significant barriers to unified data management and consistent reporting, hindering efficiency and visibility.

  • Constant re-engineering: this potentially affects reliability and innovation.

  • Fragmented AI engines: integration issues from M&A activity result in less cohesive AI capabilities.

  • Multiple applications for core functions: this requires the use of different platforms for payroll, benefits, scheduling and learning, leading to integration challenges and inefficiencies.

  • Less intuitive user interface: the design can lead to user frustration and reduced adoption.
