Adventures of Bloom & Wallace

a work in progress

Everybody’s Talking ’bout Workday’s IPO, But I Think There’s Still More To Say

Everybody's Talkin'

[Full disclosure: Workday is a client as are a number of their competitors. More importantly, I been looking under the covers of HRM enterprise software practically forever, and before that I was writing the code.]

I still haven’t digested every word in Workday’s recently released S-1, nor am I likely […]

My First Word On #HRTechConf 2012 — And Your Best Discount Offer

Me And Mr. Bill!

I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat, forest fires, and deluge of political ads) while getting enough rain to float all our boats. Lake Devonwood is almost up to our pool cage, and it’s […]

Objects To The Left Of Us, Objects To The Right Of Us

Pattern Recognition With The Cookie Monster

[This post is dedicated to Marc Maloy, SVP Worldwide Sales at HireRight, just because he asked for it. It’s the story of objects from a decidedly human resource management (HRM) perspective. For you object modeling mavens, rest assured that my knowledge of this topic as it is […]

Potential HRM Enterprise Software Landscape Disruptions — Microsoft

With the first post in this series, I introduced my concept of potential disruptors and other sources of disruption to the HRM enterprise software landscape. In that post I used Kronos and a hypothesized expansion of their functional footprint — a huge expansion of their functional footprint — combined with their global distribution capabilities, competent […]

Potential HRM Enterprise Software Landscape Disruptions — Introduction And Kronos

It's Not The Ripples From A Single Pebble But Their Interactions With Others That's My Mental Image of Market Disruption

Introduction

The idea for this series comes from the work I did to update my competitive landscape talking points before several recent client meetings. After updating the vendor by vendor notes which are […]

Product Update: Workday 16

Workday 16 On Tablet

[Full disclosure: Workday is a client as are several of her competitors. Also, where I’ve noted below that something is free, a more precise description (with thanks to Dennis Howlett for suggesting this clarification) would be “included at no additional cost” if you’ve subscribed HCM.]

It seems like only […]

The Future Of HRM Software: Agile, Models-Driven, Definitional Development

[Updated 6/18/2012 — Huge shout-out to Stan Swete of Workday and Raul Duque of Ultimate (both of whose firms have been clients, as was Raul’s former employer, Meta4) for their review and feedback on my much shorter first draft of this post, which addressed only models-driven development. Based on their feedback, I’ve now touched on […]

Deliver Me From Today’s Hot Topics!

It’s only April, barely the start of 2012’s vendor and industry conferences with their associated rebrandings, new positionings, exciting partnerships and product announcements, and I’m already tired of the constant drumbeat on mobile/social/big data/in-memory/analytics/consumerization etc. of enterprise HRM software. When everybody’s talking about the same things — even if most vendors don’t have […]

Even Successful Products Deserve A Sunset Plan

The End Of An Era Is Near

[Disclosure: This is part memoir and part advertorial, where the advertiser is Bloom & Wallace.]

If you’ve been wondering about the long delay since my last blog post, read on to learn about one project on which I’ve been working. That project has been to finalize […]

There’s True SaaS, And Then There’s SaaS InFullBloom

 

Monet — Field of Flowers and Windmills near Leiden

In my last post, I provided a minimum definition of true SaaS and described the potential benefits for both vendors and customers who adhere to this now well-established concept in enterprise software. But the potential benefits are only realized as vendors move from […]
