Organizations are consolidating the costs and complexity of their technology infrastructures, prompting a reassessment of the business value delivered by current systems.
“As the need for incremental value increases, HCM software vendors have taken steps to increase R&D investment while keeping pace with usability enhancements,” said Research Manager Evelyn McMullen. “The market has also followed the customer trend of consolidation, with many standalone providers in areas such as global payroll, learning, and talent acquisition having been acquired by larger, full-suite players.”
Leading vendors in the space have invested heavily in embedding artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities into their respective solutions. To address short-term functionality gaps, Nucleus expects increased mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships to take place over the next year.
This year, Nucleus has split the HCM Technology Value Matrix into two separate reports for SMB and enterprise-focused vendors. This report includes platforms that are specifically designed to support more than 2,500 employees, as well as solutions that can scale up for enterprise use cases.
