The HCM is the one system in an organization that touches every employee and every function in an organization. It houses all of the organization’s people data, it is the command center, and every other system in an organization interfaces with the HCM at one point or another.
Yet, the HCM ecosystem is one large labyrinth. There’s the HCM, and a whole bunch of other systems – such as ERPs, CRMs, ITSMs, etc. – plugging into it with connectors and APIs.
This is the norm in most organizations. Organizations today have tech solutions for each function/process, and every new platform or software is connected to the organization’s tech ecosystem using custom integrations done by the IT teams.
This network of systems attempts to serve all business requirements. What it does, however, is bog down the entire organization. Multiple systems create a cluttered ecosystem, driving up costs, stretching out the time taken to get work done, introducing complexities, and throttling productivity.
A mid-sized company today already has around 185 apps in its tech stack.
Given that digitization has now made its way into every function in an organization, this is only going to get more complex. The HCM will have more systems plugged into it.
This will open companies up to increased costs of integration and maintainence, higher risks of errors and non-compliance, delays in integration and execution, all affecting efficiency and causing a drag on growth.
It’s time this entangled HCM ecosystem is smoothened out.
A simple, seamless, extensible HCM is now a necessity for organizations of all sizes. It is no longer prudent for companies to customize applications and integrations to their HCM systems. Instead, organizations need to be given integrations and extensions in a native HCM environment. The HCM they use ought to come with a range of features to serve all business needs, and should come in a plug-and-play framework to simplify complex integration.
Here’s why:
