applications to do next, and provide invaluable metrics for benchmarking such as expenditures and staffing.
CedarCrestone 2008–2009 HR Systems Survey: HR Technologies, Service Delivery Approaches, and Metrics – 11th Annual Edition
The CedarCrestone 2008–2009 HR Systems Survey continues to find that HR technologies are both
strategic and offer organizational differentiation. Now in the 11th year, this longest running HR
Technology Survey has over 800 responses. This extensive survey covers adoption of
service delivery, Web 2.0, strategic human capital management and business intelligence
applications. It analyzes vendor choices, sourcing, and expenditures. Most importantly it
reports the value achieved from choices on these topics.
CedarCrestone Metrics and Analytics 2008 HR Systems
Mid-year Survey Update
This supplement to the CedarCrestone 2007–2008 HR Systems Survey White Paper
presents a mid-year status update on the state of metrics and analytics. The report also
provides a focus on the barriers organizations are facing whether they are getting started or
are further along and at least have a data warehouse. It concludes by highlighting two
organizations, Luxottica Group and EMC, as they move towards increased reporting, analytics,
and overall business intelligence.
This latest White Paper, compiled by CedarCrestone’s Research and Analytics
team, seeks to uncover the value achieved from various workforce technologies based on ten
years of research as well as three in-depth customer case studies showcasing the benefits and
impact these organizations achieved from going global, talent management applications, or
Web 2.0 solutions.
The CedarCrestone 2007–2008 HR Systems Survey finds that HR technologies and the processes they
impact are making a difference. Key findings include these: top performers are more efficient (higher
number of people served and lower costs per employee), more frequently use PeopleSoft for their
HR record keeping, actually overall have less talent management technology, and are using more
business intelligence applications. The applications that make the most difference are an
HR-oriented help desk application and competency management.
The Survey is the longest running survey on the state of workforce technologies
adoption and how to configure service delivery to improve performance. The report is based on
466 responses, from small to large global and non-global organizations. The survey scope is
broad, covering the following:
Initiatives underway related to technologies and service delivery to improve human
capital management
Applications including self service, talent management, and business intelligence now in
use and planned, vendor choices, success factors and barriers
Scope of outsourcing (process, technology infrastructure, and people who support HR
technologies)
Expenditures to date and estimated budgets for these choices
Results achieved (including employee/HR staff ratios and administrative costs per employee)
All the pieces are now in place for 2007 to be the year of full-throttle
implementation of metrics-based management with the deployment of Warehouses, reporting
functionality and analytics fine-tuned to include the workforce contribution to enterprise
performance management. Report contents include the following:
Executive Summary
