In deciding what I want in a HRIS/HRMS package, I find my list becoming extensive. Payroll processing, benefits administration, Training compliance, Employee information/history, time and labor, and many more items are coming to mind. I'm asking you for your input. What items would you consider to be especially important to have in a system that you managed? What items would you consider useless?
Thanks.

If you are wanting a comprehensive HRMS system, then you should choose on that focuses in on your stategic needs. As long as the data entered will flow to payroll, forget about finding a system that can encompass them both. Same with TLM. If you want to track leave in your HRMS system, great, but if you currently use a TLM system, track it there because your TLM and Payroll probably interface better. As for what I like in an HRMS system, ATS/recruiting is nice to have. A reporting tool that does not require a degree in calculus is great! An HRMS that allows for Employee and Manager access. Benefits administration/self-invoicing/self-billing are all great things to have. I have worked with many companies, 50 employees to 850 employees, and it depends on what you want and how much you want to spend. You also have to think about what an HRMS system will allow you to do once you get it. The time you will save. They are amazing. If you are looking for a specific provider, I have clients that use Ceridian and Sage Abra, and ADP. ADP is by far the best, in my opinion, and in my clients, too. Their HR Benefits solution is a comprehensive HRMS tool that is worth a look.

I love it. The ADP rep is back promoting ADP on this board. This guy (Craig Walter) was run of the SHRM board for self promoting ADP. Don't you ever prospect the old fashioned way buddy?

That depends for which HR processes you want functionality. My current company wants to implement Talent management. This means that the whole set of high tec HR processes will be implementend, like management development, succession planning, competency management, e-learning, e-recruitment and some ESS, MSS. Luckily SAP offers this whole box of tools, so all processes will be integrated

You really do need to speak with someone (an HR technology consultant) about your needs (current and future). This is the only way you'll ever find out which bells and whistles will help and which are useless to you. I have some assessment tools that can help you in determining your needs if you are interested.
