CUTTING THROUGH THE NOISE
Speaker: Jason Averbook
Industry thought-leader Jason Averbook discusses what matters now in HR technology amid mergers, new delivery models, economic recovery and more. These days, there's plenty of hype about the rise of the "cloud" and buzz about mergers and acquisitions among software vendors. Jason will go against the grain, pointing to hidden downsides of software-as-a-service and clarifying what organizations really need to think about regarding a tumultuous vendor landscape. He'll also discuss how some of the largest companies are organizing themselves within HR to be ready for today's technology.
Audience members will learn:
- Strengths and weaknesses of different software delivery models—the traditional on-premises approach and the software-as-a-service model. These include the risk that an SAAS vendor will be so focused on implementation that it gives short shrift to important conversations about business strategy and business process improvement.
- Key factors to consider when reviewing software vendors in a climate of rapid consolidation. These include the importance of establishing a long-term HR software strategy independent of vendors, reviewing vendor product road maps and assessing the viability of different vendors.
- The advantages and disadvantages of building people management software tools in-house. These include the difficulties of updating such systems to comply with new rules and adapting to new business processes, as well as the benefit of being able to customize software applications to company-specific operations.

MANAGING YOUR GLOBAL WORKFORCE: BEST PRACTICES & CASE STUDY ANALYSIS
Speaker: Diana Van Blaricom
Senior Product Marketing Manager, Epicor Human Capital Management
The world is getting smaller as companies are getting bigger. How can you manage employees in offices as far away as Dubai, New York, Paris, Johannesburg, Tokyo and Mumbai? You can with a best-in-class human resource information system (HRIS).
As technology allows the world to become increasingly globalized and smaller, the amount of business that is being done across national borders is growing. When you have employees working in multiple countries, there are additional challenges HR will face.

From multiple languages to managing different types of identification, having employees in multiple countries increases the role HR plays in managing a workforce.
In this session, Diana Van Blaricom, senior product marketing manager for Epicor Human Capital Management, will discuss best practices for managing your global workforce and present a case study on how a HRIS makes it easier than ever for Bingham McCutchen LLP.

THE AGILE BUSINESS CHALLENGE: AN INDUSTRY EXECUTIVE PANEL
|
Moderator: Jason Averbook |
Panelists: Kevin Choksi, Co-founder & CEO, WorkForce Software Hardeep Gulati, Executive VP Products & Customer Support, SumTotal Systems |
Pat Pickren, Vice President, Product Management, Ultimate SoftwareDoug Berg, Director, Jobs2Web Product Strategy, SuccessFactors |
The past decade could be described as one with unrealized promises of integrated talent management. Legacy systems, poor IT support, a focus on process improvement and individual HR transaction created a step-at-a-time mentality that never delivered on the vision of unified, integrated talent management. Through vendor consolidation, technology advancements, and the emergence of cloud services, the talent management market is at the beginning of a new decade which will finally deliver the platform necessary to realize the promise of integrated talent management.
Now is the time for organizations to investigate these new capabilities and understand the importance of driving business agility through a flexible HR technology architecture. Cloud based services offer HR leaders an unprecedented opportunity to help create a more agile business. Not because they manage employees faster or with more options, but because these services can be turned on and off, swapped, changed, and moved about to meet the changing demands of the business. Cloud based HR services can improve business agility by eliminating the need to install, patch, upgrade, customize and be held back by specialized, bloated, and often unused “systems.” As HR service delivery expectations continue to evolve to meet the demands of users, subscriptions to cloud based HR services can be turned on and off.
Join Jason Averbook, Co-founder and CEO of HR technology consultancy Knowledge Infusion, as he moderates an HR technology executive panel and collectively describes how new HR technology capabilities change the game from trying to predict the future, to being able to respond to whatever the future holds, and more importantly how none of this can be realized without a strategy to achieve alignment between HR and the business.
