Making the Business Case for Talent Management and Learning Systems
Dr. Katherine Jones has been working with the Vital Analysis team here for the last 18 mos. or so. If you don’t know her, she’s quite an expert on HR and ERP technologies. Recently, she penned a research report on building a great talent management business case. Katherine’s posted this announcement on the Vital Analysis website and has graciously offered to make it available to others. Simply complete the request form on this website or send us an email at contact@vitalanalysis.com .
Here is a small quote from this report:
“The most successful business cases are tight in their focus; rather than promising to do everything that may relate to corporate goals at a specific time, narrowing the intent of the technology to the most important and attainable objectives. Map key business needs to learning and talent improvement requirements, then focus on the results expected: for example, improved customer engagement through better trained sales and service personnel, or retaining skilled workers with hard-to-get skills through a better rewards system. “

Still a Strong Trajectory, Offering and Following
Our report on SilkRoad’s Red Carpet offering last year was one of the most requested reports we produced. Because of that market interest we sought out the SilkRoad executives at this year’s HR Technology show in Chicago to get a more detailed briefing on their products and their vision of the HR space. SilkRoad investor Flip Filipowski sat in on much of that conversation.
In short, we continue to be impressed with the company’s marketing efforts, the enthusiasm they project in the space, the additions to the product line and more.
The new report is much longer and covers more than just the RedCarpet product. OpenHire, WingSpan, GreenLight and Eprise are also covered in this new document.
This report costs $395 for a single-user copy. It will be available to requestors for no charge until December 15, 2008. To receive a copy, please submit a request through our web site.

New Research Report
Workstream had a big product launch of its talent management solution at the Fall 2007 HR Technology show in Chicago. We developed a short research report covering the highlights of this announcement along with our prognosis for the product. Here’s a blurb from the Company/Product Highlights section of the report:

Impressive Pedigree, Growth and Market Focus
From the Overview section of this report:
“We see at least three types of firms requiring staff augmentation assistance. At one level, there are highly dysfunctional firms who are undergoing some sort of crisis or time sensitive need for additional staff. For these firms, vacancies must be filled and filled immediately. The second kind of need arises for those companies who have moved past the crisis and now want to understand and mitigate those causal factors that created the staffing problem in the first place. The third kind occurs when companies have moved to a stable work environment and are seeking methods to improve the long-term quality of their work force and of the methods used to identify, recruit and retain those workers.
Veritude has structured its business to help companies at any of these three levels and also to help firms move from one level of staffing capability to the next. To that end, the company provides contingent staffing services as well as consulting services, Managed Services Programs (MSPs) and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO).”
We developed this report shortly after this Fall’s HR Technology conference in Chicago. Veritude’s briefing and executives were most impressive and we strongly recommend users of traditional staffing firms should shortlist this company.
For a very limited time, this report is available via email to those requestors submitting a valid business email address. Please send your request to contact@vitalanalysis.com or use our

New Report Available: Talent Management with Intellectual Property
We recently met with Michael George of Vurv at the Fall 2007 HR Technology show in Chicago. Vurv made a big splash with their talent management solutions. Vital Analysis prepared a short research report based on the new announcements. Herewith is a brief excerpt from the Vurv Product Details section of the report:
“The new Vurv products show very well. The user interface is crisp and intuitive. But the bigger story may be in the inclusion of a significant amount of intellectual property within the product. For example, the performance management software comes complete with detailed knowledge of some 1750 competencies. Interview questions are prepopulated with approximately 25,000 questions that recruiters, supervisors and interviewers can utilize. These questions assist individuals in assessing the degree of competency of individual candidates and employees. Much of this new intellectual property comes to Vurv via their acquisition of InScope in January 2006.
The new succession planning module has side-by-side comparisons of key employees. Relevant competency strengths and gaps are highlighted as well as differences in education and other relevant attributes. Specific plans regarding these individuals can be generated and incorporated into that person’s training program or future staffing/role assignments. Whereas some talent management tools provide career development planning as part of a training module, Vurv makes it part of its succession planning functionality. This is a better placement for this functionality.”
This report is available at no charge for a limited time to those who send a valid business email to: contact@vitalanalysis.com or submit a request using our request form page.

Silk Road’s Personal Approach to On-Boarding
At the recent HR Technology show in Chicago, we briefly reviewed SilkRoad technology, Inc.’s new on-boarding product. That review was documented in a brief research report. A portion of the Prognosis section of the report includes:
“SilkRoad’s approach to HR technology bears some cultural resemblance to the early days of PeopleSoft. It’s not just that the technology is competitive with other products, SilkRoad’s approach to these functional needs is different. The difference is in the care they have taken to understand the underlying humanity that must be engineered into human resource technology.
We believe this firm’s approach will be welcomed in human resource circles. SilkRoad is targeting mostly midmarket firms for its solutions. It is also working hard to keep the total landed cost of its capabilities at very low price points. Because of the sensitivity of cost to the SMB marketplace, SilkRoad should benefit from better than average market uptake.”
This report is available at no charge for a limited time to those who send a valid business email to: contact@vitalanalysis.com or submit a request using our request form page.

MIAMI, Fla. (December 10, 2007) – Meta4, a multinational company specializing in human and intellectual capital management (HICM) solutions, today announced its inclusion in an in-depth report issued by Vital Analysis, a leading publisher of technology research that speaks for and to top executives. Vital Analysis is the analytical arm of TechVentive, Inc., a company that advises technology and services firms and develops thought leadership, marketing materials, sales campaigns, channel programs and sales training initiatives.
According to the report, “There is no doubt that Meta4 has been a successful HR provider. They have partnered with some of the biggest HR providers in specific markets globally. We believe Meta4 has a very good chance for succeeding in this marketplace.”
Calling Meta4’s Active HR solution, “one of the more successful HRO products in the marketplace,” the report explores Meta4’s expansion into the American marketplace. The company has successfully worked with clients and partners in Western Europe, South America and the Asia Pacific region and now is entering the North American software arena.
Citing Meta4’s extensive product line and multinational support capabilities, the report notes that Meta4’s planned mid-market growth is on target. The report states, “Even mid-market companies need more agile and nimble solutions as they enter and exit new world markets.”
“It is gratifying to receive recognition for our software solutions from industry research reports such as this,” said Carlos Diaz, vice president of Pan-America and Global Accounts Officer for Meta4. “In their report, Vital Analysis recommends that multinational and global firms evaluate our PeopleNet 7 product because it is a robust and complete solution. With our next-generation product, employees and managers will have a more enhanced experience through Active HR.”
The Vital Analysis report noted that the new product will deliver “the ability for HR to become more active in guiding operations or line management with the analysis and application of Human Capital.”
