SuccessFactors Does It Again!

A year ago, the company announced EmployeeCentral , a light-weight employee record-keeping system built for its smaller performance and talent management clients. Since its release last June, about 50 have been sold.

Without benefits or payroll, EC comprises one-third of a core HR system, HRIS, HRMS, HCM, system of record or whatever you like to call it. The big HR system.

Well, small clients, no more!

At the company's May user conference in New York, Edward Golitko, senior director of HR for EMC -- the $14-billion digital storage company with 46,000 employees in 16 countries -- announced his company had become the development partner for EC.

And in response to my question, Golitko said he would unplug EMC's PeopleSoft Enterprise HRMS in exactly one year and use EC instead!

Please put that date into your Outlook calendar right now: May 10, 2011.

Of course, EMC is already outsourcing the two other parts of an HRMS: payroll to ADP and benefits to a variety of firms, including Fidelity.

It only uses the basics of its Version 7.5 of PeopleSoft HRMS: the company's last client/server product, now more than 10 years old and at least six versions behind the current Version 9.1. more here
