Adventures of Bloom & Wallace

a work in progress

Snowdons Of Yesteryear: History Is Repeating Itself

A Night In The Dinosaur Graveyard *

About this time last year, I did a post entitled “Where Are The Snowdens Of Yesteryear: A Cautionary Tale” in which I told the tale of long-forgotten mainframe HRMS software brands whose death-knell was struck in the sea change from mainframe to client server computing that began, […]

Bloom & Wallace Release 2011 — Mercer Human Capital Connect

I Hired Naomi!

Last month I posted the first installment of this series on planned changes in the mix and style of B&W consulting engagements/projects for 2011. It’s now with great pleasure that I announce one of those engagements. Beginning in January, I’ll be acting as a strategic advisor to the Human Capital […]

In Search Of HRM/HRMDS/HR Tech “Best” Practices

Of the many reasons cited for outsourcing one or more HRM business processes as well as for making investments in HRM software, none is more susceptible to marketing hype than that outsourcing providers and software vendors deliver “best” practices in HRM. The best HRM software, “out of the box,” may certainly deliver some good practices […]

Dennis Howlett-Inspired Post #1 — Multi-tenancy In HRM SaaS

Dennis Howlett

This is the first of what I suspect will be many posts for which the impetus is a question from a specific colleague, in this case Dennis Howlett. So as to give credit, or at least curiosity, where it’s due, this one’s for you.

Having seen me refer to (Dennis […]

Multi-tenancy: Table Stakes For HRM SaaS In 2011

Mere Table Stakes

With 2011 practically upon us — here at Bloom & Wallace, we’ve got 2011 laid out and a lot of our major time blocks for 2012 in process — it’s time to declare the do we or don’t we need multi-tenancy discussion over for HRM SaaS, with multi-tenancy the clear […]

Naomi’s Questions For Oracle OpenWorld 2010

Nuclear Fusion, Oracle Fusion, Close Enough?

With Oracle OpenWorld 2010 coming up next week, I hate having to miss one of the major enterprise IT three, four, five-ring circuses of the year. I would have loved to attend, but HR Tech 2010 is thefollowing week. And unlike my much valued and much younger Oracle […]

Event Report — Workday Technology Summit 8-23-2010 — Humongous Post

Workday held a briefing yesterday for twenty of enterprise software’s toughest and most knowledgeable analysts. Workday had much more to say about their technology and business strategy, about their underlying architecture and object model, and about what’s cooking in the Lab than they’ve revealed thus far to this type of audience. Even a few surprises […]

M&A Observations: Whither Goest Genesys?

Late-breaking news. Genesys’ buyer is PeopleStrategy, the current owner of Integral Systems (which was Dave Duffield’s predecessor company to PeopleSoft, so we’re going back here to the mid-80’s for it’s heyday). PeopleStrategy is led by Randy Cooper, who also led the buy of Genesys for Salary.com. Randy is very experienced with that generation of […]

M&A Observations: StepStone Solutions Acquires MrTed — Who’s Next

Just in this morning was the announcement that StepStone Solutions is acquiring MrTed in what appears to be a very congenial coming together of two prominent European players in the talent management software market. In the interests of full disclosure, StepStone is a client with whom I’ve been working actively as this deal was getting […]

The Future Of HRM Software: Embedded Intelligence

Hi, I'm Naomi, your friendly HRM consultant

There’s an easy way to describe what I mean by embedded intelligence. Conjure up a memory of the best, most knowledgeable, most effectively consultative and strategic thinking HR leader you’ve ever known. Now conjure up a memory of that master of regulatory options and […]
