Our weekly web mingle is designed to give you some insight into the puzzling world of HR technology, discuss news from around the world that we find interesting, talk about upcoming events in our industry, and provide insightful interviews with people of our industry – who they are, what they do and why you should care. The WebMingle has become the most popular live weekly Internet show in the HR technology industry!
So what is a WebMingle? It is a meeting over the web where we do some business, socialize and yes, we mingle over the web. Thus, a WebMingle.
The 50-minute WebMingle on June 5th, the 24th in our WebMingle series, featured Larry Dunivan, SVP of Global HCM Products with Lawson Software. It was another fascinating WebMingle and Larry has great insight and passion for Talent Management Systems and how important it is to be tied in with the core system of record. We touched on a number of issues related to those topics including:
- Why a core system of record is essential to successful talent management implementations and why organizations without one are going to struggle in the long-term.
- Why a system of record so important?
- What Lawson is seeing in this area as they are talking to customers about where the risks are
- The challenges of interfacing a customer’s system of record data to any talent management system
- What are the key integration points and why is maintaining them so expensive?
