Naomi – as I move forward looking at technology vendors for on-boarding, LMS, Compensation etc. I struggle with helping guide the decision makers to look at the right “pieces” to make a vendor decision with. How do you think the killer scenarios can help with this without focusing on one-off scenarios too much? I am nervous about raising expectations too high with these one-off types of scenarios and could see if crippling effort to move forward because they could reveal limitations that are unacceptable, but there is nothing better on the market (or that will work with internal infrastructure). Have you run into this? Any words of wisdom?

Thanks for documenting some of your killer scenarios. I have some additional deep dives with 2 HCM vendors in early 2010 and your post has helped me think about some killer scenarios missed in the earlier deep dives. Now how do I get on the smart, funny, passionate and most importantly handsome list of yours?

Steve and Bill, your comments on this post and others are much appreciated. You both fit the profile of the readers I hoped to attract — smart, funny, passionate about what we do, and did I mention handsome? I don’t think InFullBloom will win any mass market blog readership awards, but I truly hope it will be the neighborhood bar at the intersection of HRM and IT where friends meet to discuss, in Talmudic style (and yes, study of the Talmud was required by Dr. Miller (of blessed memory, my Hebrew school teacher), the issues we confront in trying to improve the practice of HRM via IT.

Every one of the 56 vendors who has participated in an HR Technology Shootout over the past nine years can thank their lucky stars that you have not yet collaborated with me on the scenarios they must demo to. Did you study the Talmud as a teenager? What else can develop such finely-honed exception (I know, no longer) thinking? Great post.

Naomi – Fantastic post and thanks for describing some of your famous ‘killer’ scenarios here. Great advice for looking beyond the basics, which by now all the vendors can more or less handle, and getting to the real unique, and often critical requirements that can make or break a project.
