Holty’s Talent Blog

Wow – that year went fast ! One of my New Year’s resolutions other than the standard get healthier, drink less etc etc. – make more regular contributions to this blog !

2007 looks to be a very exciting year for so many reasons :

• sonar6
  
  Is in full swing with a rapidly growing customer base and a toehold in each of our key markets. I have spoken to so many people in the marketplace that have recognised the “missing link” in developing tools and solutions for adding value and efficiency to human resources through the effective measurement and analysis of employee performance and potential.

With the release of integrated performance management later next month things will start to move even faster based on current interest in the PM area.

• Talent Management
  We did a lot of research and talked with many people in 2006 – clients, prospective clients and competitors. All the feedback is consistent – the growth in demand for talent management strategy, solutions and services is rapidly increasing.

In particular, many large companies will complete their planning and diligence around their strategy in 2007 providing some massive opportunities to the market place

• SaaS
  Understanding and more importantly adoption of SaaS approaches to the market is set to take a massive leap forward this year. Watch out for more major vendors announcing and maybe even delivering on promises of more SaaS base offerings this year which will further increase customer’s comfort levels.

I have a back log of information which I want to share here so keep visiting – my posting pace should pick up over the next few weeks !
