                                                       Emportal Gaining Momentum

We were already preparing this report based on the HR Week show in NYC recently: Emportal Update Report. The key theme of this update was that Emportal had acquired a number of new clients. Now, Emportal has released details on their new market success (see: https://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=848867) . The gist of this press release states:

“WALNUT CREEK, CA–(Marketwire – April 28, 2008) – Uniting the way business works with the way people work, Emportal today welcomed five more enterprise clients to its growing customer base. Emportal eliminates the challenges of managing disparate HR systems and databases by combining the best capabilities of four categories of human capital management — HRMS, ERP, point solutions and HRO — into one “have it your way” software-as-a-service solution. New companies turning to Emportal include FCI; California Waste Solutions; ION; a California headquartered restaurant chain; and a Chicago headquartered payroll and retirement provider. “

New Research Report

We recently completed a new research report on CyberShift. Here’s a brief excerpt from the Overview section:

The market for time and attendance systems may seem to some to be somewhat stuck in time (no pun intended). Sure, time clocks have been supplanted with badge readers and other devices that are now integrated with ERP solutions but the basic functionality of recording a person’s time spent on the job has still remained constant.

CyberShift has been moving their product line beyond just time and attendance. They have modules to provide scheduling and optimization capabilities so that companies can optimally schedule personnel as well as record the hours those persons work. This combination of functionality materially enhances the value of CyberShift’s product line.”

For a brief period of time, we will make this report available to readers who submit a valid business email address to contact@vitalanalysis.com or complete our online request form.

Where Professional Services Automation/Project Portfolio Management Solutions Must Go

We recently developed a 10 page report on the future of the PSA/PPM space. 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.

 The document overview states: 

“A new generation of professional services automation (PSA) and project portfolio management (PPM) customers are entering the software buying market. While these new customers may be enthralled with current offerings in these respective spaces, existing buyers want more. The question for PSA/PPM vendors is “Where should these products extend their functionality?”

Talent issues may become a major innovation focus for PSA and PPM vendors. Innovation in the PSA/PPM space must continue and addressing these issues may be a good direction for these people-intensive sectors to pursue.

In this report, we examine the upcoming collision between PSA/PPM vendors and software firms in other sectors. We also look at the increasing difficulties in acquiring and retaining quality service workers and the technologies needed to support same.”
