SilkRoad Announces HRMS Targeted for SMB Market

Vendors of technology for human capital management (HCM) continue to tout their solutions’ ability to integrate across HCM to connect workforce management (WFM), core human resources, and talent management. A recent announcement by SilkRoad regarding a Human Resource Management System (HRMS) for small- and medium-size businesses (SMBs) is an example. The characteristics of integration impose a limit on these efforts, however, and a buyer of HCM technology should vet vendors’ claims thoroughly: Plenty of integrated systems perform well, but if real-time data is an organization’s priority, the preferable option is a solution that calls for as little integration as possible.
