CedarCrestone HCM Benchmark Study
Workforce Technologies and Service Delivery Approaches
Detail by Size and Industry

High-tech manufacturing and financial services, the early adopter industries of workforce technologies and human resources service delivery approaches, have reaped benefits sooner and faster than other industry segments according to the CedarCrestone HCM Benchmark Study.

The CedarCrestone HCM Benchmark Study provides an in-depth look into HCM application usage and outsourcing decisions by industry and organization size. It is based on data collected from 340 organizations with over 500 employees from June to August, 2005. The study is a supplement to the CedarCrestone 2005 HCM Survey: Workforce Technologies and Service Delivery Approaches, Eighth Annual Edition white paper, which provides a comprehensive view of how organizations across a wide range of industries and activities are using workforce technologies and configuring service delivery to improve performance. Interested clients may read some highlights from the Benchmark study by reviewing the Benchmark Press Release.

A significant finding released in the Benchmark study describes that respondents with ERP-based solutions have spent more to date (and on an annual basis) and have also budgeted more for next year, than those respondents that buy point solutions from a variety of vendors (mixed environment). The ERP-based clients are however achieving a higher level of strategic functionality and satisfaction.

The 82-page CedarCrestone HCM Benchmark Study is $395 and will be delivered in PDF format. Along with this document, you are offered a webinar presentation from a member of the Research and Analytics group at CedarCrestone (an on site presentation must be arranged, with the client incurring travel/lodging expenses).
