Research Coming Out Real Soon (or A Little Later)

by Jim Holincheck  |  July 26, 2007  |  Comments Off

I have not been posting much lately as I have been working on a lot of things.  Here is a preview of what is coming soon.

Hype Cycle for HCM Software — This has been a major undertaking.  Each dot (the technical term is Technology Profile) on the hype cycle is almost its own research note.  It is in the home stretch though and I hope will be published in the next two weeks.

The SuccessFactors IPO — Yes, I have noticed the filing.  I have been working on a note (sorry, but I have to serve the paying customers first) providing Gartner’s perspective on the impact of this event.  For other perspectives, you may want to look here, here, and here.  I will provide a link on the blog when it is published next week.

A Simple Taxonomy of Alternative Delivery Models — I did a post awhile back discussing the difference between SaaS and other delivery models for business processes/applications.  We are refining that approach and looking at other areas besides business processes/applications.  This research is not HCM-specific, but a broad look across IT.

Different Views of Skills Management Tools — I get a good number of calls from IT organizations wanting skills management tools.  Different tools solve different problems.  I am going to write a short note about this.

Different Approaches to Workforce Planning — I have an inquiry coming up where a client is interested in what is available in the market for workforce planning.  I am going to take that response and create a research note.

Another Workforce Analytics Case Study — I have found a really good one and will be working on this soon.

MarketScope for Large Enterprise HRMS, 2007 – This is an update to the note we published in 2004.  I have been alternating between the Magic Quadrant for U.S. Midmarket HRMS (published last year) and this MarketScope.  I am just getting started on this now (and am already running late).

Well, that is a lot when you put it in writing.  I better get back to work.
