Human capital management (HCM) applications are rapidly evolving from basic HR transactional systems like payroll and benefits administration into strategic talent management suites that work in conjunction with organizational learning initiatives. Solutions are now able to align individual employee performance measurement with the strategic goals of the organization and apply learning to performance gaps in an effort to achieve business objectives.

In this exclusive webcast, noted Forrester Research analyst Paul Hamerman will share his thoughts on why this progression is important and how it will help organizations build high performance workforces.

Paul will discuss:

Trends in the workforce and HCM processes
Primary components of talent management solutions
Where the gaps are in the ERP HR applications, and how the "best of breed" applications market fills those gaps
How the market will evolve based on technology, market consolidation and business trends.
