Evidence-based
HCM system selection: Using a pre-built HCM prototype on a Force.com platform is
the only way to confirm the right choice of products for an HCM solution.
Just about every consultant has a template for HCM product
specification and it is usually an Excel spreadsheet that they complete with a
client and send off to selected vendors in the form of an RFI (Request For
Information). In the Cloud environment that approach is useless.
HR Cloud Solutions' partner Competitive Edge Technology (CET) has converted the
RFI into an HCM system framework on the Force.com platform to simulate how the
chosen HCM product(s) should operate. It is a prototype of an HCM cloud
solution. It introduces the client to a working model that can be used to:
- Define HCM functional requirements
- Identify specific data needs
- Experiment with custom development tools
- Set up and test integrations to other systems
- Produce reports from a unified database (data warehouse)
- Demonstrate access to the back-end database through mobile devices, and
- Experience the power of collaboration in the social enterprise.
After specifying system needs in our database we then
compare that to product capability details in our database and identify a best
fit list of products to focus on. Those products can be demonstrated in the
integrated HCM prototype: It is an evidence-based way of selecting an HCM cloud
solution.
It is an excellent cost-effective way to find the best fit
products to match a company’s HCM requirements and it is not a throw away after
the exercise is complete: It can become part of your system architecture to
keep on performing all of the features it was used for during the evaluation
process, plus custom development on a Force.com platform.
