HCM Partner Technology Updates

At HRComputes we partner with some great vendors to better understand the leading edge of HR Technology.  We stay independent yet up to date on some great products and companies.

Here's the latest from two great vendors!

Phenom

Phenom has just announced its integration with Microsoft Teams increasing productivity and enhancing user experience. Many organizations leverage Teams for collaboration and to drive productivity; so, most employees are frequent users. Integrating the Phenom app into Teams allows employees to access the features of Phenom without having to separately access the Phenom platform. Features like identifying new job opportunities, recommending friends and colleagues for jobs, and collaborating with hiring managers.

From a hiring manager perspective, it is a great way to receive and review candidate information, approve candidates for the interview process, and even set up video interviews via Teams with candidates.

UKG

 Onboarding has a new feature that provides a visual marker when a candidate is a rehire. A notification tag is displayed in the New Hires list view when a new hire is potentially a previously terminated employee. Additional details regarding eligibility for rehire and previous employment are found in the new hire’s information record.

 The functionality works for both U.S./ Canada and Global clients. This new feature is a great tool to help HR departments avoid mistakes when new hires are really "rehires".

At HRComputes, we help make HR Technology work for HR instead of the other way around!

Highlights from the report are:

Ultimate Software (UKG) is rapidly growing its partner ecosystem to implement and provide ongoing services and software extensions to its customers. Similar to the model that other Enterprise HCM Software vendors (SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle) employ,UKG is increasingly using partners for a their system implementations and services work. 

UKG's services partner ecosystem of approximately 50 partners is primarily comprised of independent consulting firms versus Global Service Providers (e.g. "Big 5".) Their average partner has 25 full-time consultants or less and has been a partner for over 5 years. 

Service Partner Strengths

Implementations are typically less expensive and take less time than Enterprise Cloud HCM vendor peers(Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM).

Partner resources are highly-specialized HR consultants who have worked with the Ultimate Software product for several years and/or have previous experience as a customer and HR practitioner
