Vendor Landscape: Talent Management Solutions

Effectively manage your workforce from hire to retire with an end-to-end talent management solution.

  • Over the last number of years, the Talent Management (TM) market has experienced widespread consolidation; larger talent management vendors have bought up niche players and large ERP vendors have begun purchasing talent management solutions.
  • As a result, talent management competition in the mid-market is now dominated by large, established multi-nationals with a broad user base and extensive resources.
  • Some vendors offer fully homegrown solutions, but the vast majority are a result of acquisitions. For vendors in the latter group, their legacy product tends to be their strongest, though this is changing; these vendors are focused on creating solutions that are uniform in look and feel.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Organizations should carefully consider their short-term social and mobile requirements before focusing too heavily on social and mobile functionalities; vendor offerings will improve across the board over the next few years.
  • Advanced reporting and analytics functionality that allows the integration of data points from separate modules has become a point of differentiation for some vendors.
  • Vendors that have a solution which contains disparate pieces obtained through acquisition will work toward even more robust back-end integration between modules to ensure the user experience is seamless.

Impact and Result

  • Look for first-class module integration in a TM solution. Seamless integration of all talent management modules creates a top quality user experience from end to end.
  • Look to vendors with recruitment, performance management, learning, and compensation functionality for full employee lifecycle management.
