Workforce Intelligence
Foundations for Workforce Intelligence Findings: Focus Area: Issues & Concerns: Cost Factor: Organizations need to improve their HCM reporting regarding: employee retention and motivation, skills management, and remuneration. All three factors have an impact on organizational performance. Reporting & Analysis - Board-level concern. Most organizations believe they are NOT fully exploiting this capability. Raw data held in various disparate, stand alone IT systems or held manually are needed to provide sophisticated reporting. Improving HCM reporting doesn't always require a prohibitively expensive outlay on technology - in most cases there are practical ways to leverage existing technology and processes and supplement them with targeted purchases. Collaboration exercise involving senior management and a wide range of internal departments. One way to gain participants' confidence is to focus on areas that generate the biggest tangible returns in the short-term before tracking long-term strategic needs. Reporting capability should be assessed in the context of business process improvements. Targeted automation projects may generate better management information as well as cost savings and efficiency gains. The business case investment for improving reporting capability will ultimately rest on a combination of hard returns and a more difficult, two-stage assessment of the potential benefits that better management information could help deliver.

Vendor Releases
What to expect When to upgrade or implement new modules Determining cost vs. ROI Integration issues Competing projects and priorities Involving vendor, consulting and internal resources Leveraging user groups and other customers
Note: The upfront license fee is only 1 component of the Total Cost of Ownership of software over a 3 to 5 year period which includes fees for implementation, training support, maintenance, future upgrades and other costs. Webster Buchanan 2004

Implementation Characteristics
HRIS core functions and secondary functionality
no longer phased deployment includes contractual performance, risk sharing
Note: The best run technology implementation projects rely on specialist functional input. The level of upfront involvement might well determine how many glitches crop up further down the road. Webster Buchanan 2004

Is ROI Important?
While many HRIS projects are not approved using ROI alone, an ROI analysis should still be a component Coupled with intangibles (employee satisfaction, etc.) Smaller initiatives still require planning Most HRIS projects today must result in:
less resources to support reduced hard dollar expenses improved productivity lower total cost of ownership

Cost of Ownership
The Negotiation & Total Cost of Ownership Game TCO is a means for calculating all technology, implementation, maintenance, training and support costs over a 3 to 5 year period of time Implementation is a great starting point! In the high-end enterprise market it's not uncommon for implementation charges to equal 5 times the price of the license: that drops in the mid-market and at the lower end. Underlying architecture of the products and the amount of customization are the most important contributors. Integration can become an issue when tying together HCM products and linking to applications such as Financials. Total Cost of Ownership:
Implementation Costs:
Influencers:
Ongoing Costs:
Annual maintenance fees - covering software fixes and enhancements to keep applications current - run around 20% of the application prices. The cost of user training is frequently underestimated! Future Upgrades! Switching to a new platform can be as big as the original implementation. The more customizations you have, the bigger the project. It's NOT a waste of time. It's still a buyers market. This depends of the number of vendors you're dealing with, how strategic your business is to them, and how desperate they are to meet their quarterly quotas.
Other Surprises:
Importance of Negotiation:
Good News:
If you replace multiple, resource-hungry standalone applications with a single standardized platform, your running costs could go down once you've absorbed the cost of the new application. Webster Buchanan 2004

Payback period is the most widely used measure for evaluating potential investments. Its use increases in tough economic times, when CIOs are apt to say things like, "We won't even consider a project that has more than a 24-month payback.
