Adventures of Bloom & Wallace

a work in progress

M&A Observations: Oracle, Infor And… SumTotal?

When SumTotal announced in July a not unexpected acquisition of Accero (really more of an aggregation because both firms were already owned by Vista Equity Partners, a private equity firm with a now substantial stake in HRM #EnSW) along with the acquisition of CyberShift, I was not surprised. One could speculate at length, and others […]

The Four Pillars Of ADP

It's Not Your Grandfather's ADP!

Everyone in my professional world, and most business people in general, know ADP — or at least they think they do. While ADP offers a very wide range of products/services to both employers and all types of vehicle dealers, they continue to be known most widely as “the […]

My First Word On #HRTechConf 2011 — And Your Best Discount Offer

What Goes In Vegas Doesn't Stay There!

I’m writing this as Fort Myers is experiencing a relatively mild summer (compared to the rest of the country’s astonishing heat) while getting enough rain to float all boats. But no lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer here. A quick look at my calendar and todo […]

Larry Ellison And I Disagree, And Not Just About The America’s Cup

First things first. Although all responsibility for this post is mine, I want to offer my sincere appreciation to Michael Krigsman (@mkrigsman on Twitter) for his suggestions on how I could write a better, more useful and balanced post and to Dennis Moore (@dbmoore on Twitter) for his insights (with which I agree entirely) about […]

Matching Vendor/Product And Buyer Lifecycles

Vocabulary Shapes Our (Wishful) Thinking

This post was inspired by a Twitter exchange with a valued colleague after I tweeted that this might not be the best time to be a new buyer of Oracle PSFT/EBS HRMS given Oracle’s commitment to Fusion HCM as the next generation of these long-established product lines. My […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — What Impresses Me?

How The Hell Should I Know What Software Is Best?

Here’s another post that I had meant to write much sooner, but now it will post while we’re in Monaco before the start of our cruise up the Rhone River. I’m going to try to do some tweeting/posting from the “road,” always hopeful […]

Is It Really SaaS If?

If It Looks Like A Duck…

I’ve long since put to rest the whole multi-tenancy debate around SaaS. If it isn’t multi-tenant, then it isn’t SaaS. You can host/subscribe single tenant software, and with piles of virtualization and other techniques for optimizing data center/operations costs, you may be able to approximate the operations […]

Lawson Software — A Very Sad Ending

Lars Lawson — The Symbol Of All Things Lawson

I first wrote about the HRM enterprise software “Snowdons of Yesteryear” (with apologies to Joseph Heller for this misuse of his famous phrase, “where are the Snowdons of yesteryear” in Catch-22) in the earliest days of this blog (so 11/2009). In that original post, I […]

Event Report — Ultimate Connections 2011

Ultimate HQ In Weston Florida

I rarely attend vendor user conferences unless I’m an invited speaker or otherwise participating at the request of that vendor, so I’m the last person to offer a learned comparison of conference venues, programs, parties, swag, logistics, etc. But one thing I have observed is how much […]

HRM Software/Services Q1 Vendor Briefings — Capability Matters

HRM May Not Need Battlestar Galactica Capabilities

My first post in this series focused on the importance of understanding the ambitions of HRM software/services vendors and the implications of those ambitions for buyers/investors/employees/the industry. Next came a post focused on the different strategies of these same vendors, the many moving parts that must be […]
