A short Introduction to Human capital management (HCM)

Human capital management (HCM) is the comprehensive set of practices for recruiting, managing, developing and optimizing the human resources of an organization.
The phrase connotes an approach to human resource management (HRM) that views employees as assets that can be invested in and managed to maximize their business value.
Software
HCM has come to be nearly synonymous with the human resources (HR) function in organizations. In HR technology, the comprehensive software systems for managing HR processes differ little from HCM suites. For example, the functions of most human resource information systems (HRIS) are often the same as HCM systems. However, some observers use HCM in a narrow sense to denote just the labor-scheduling and time-tracking functions of HR.
HCM suites are sold either as components of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems or as separate products that are typically integrated with ERP. In recent years, on-premises HCM has been superseded by software as a service (SaaS) as the preferred deployment option.
Functions
The functions of HCM software are generally organized into the following categories:
Core HR, including payroll, benefits administration, onboarding, compliance management and maintenance of employee data.
Talent management, the collective term for the process of recruiting, developing and retaining employees. Talent management suites consist of distinct yet integrated modules for recruitment, performance management, compensation management, learning and succession planning.
Workforce management, the set of functions for deploying employees with the necessary skills to particular regions, departments or projects. It includes time and attendance management, workforce planning, labor scheduling, and budgeting.
Service delivery, including HR help desks, intranet portals, employee self-service and manager self-service.
HCM suites also typically have technologies that cut across functional areas, notably analytics, social media, collaboration and employee engagement. Many also allow mobile access to HR data and applications, especially the self-service features.
Analytics is usually the critical element in strategic human capital management, which seeks to more closely align HCM with the financial success of the company. Sometimes the analytics tools are localized to a particular HCM function. For example, workforce analytics can help optimize decisions made in the workforce planning module, while social media and collaboration tools can facilitate the frequent feedback and communication required for continuous performance management.

Better Tableau implementation gives BI dashboards a boost

When the telecommunications group at General Motors initially began using Tableau dashboards to track service requests and incidents, reports had such long load times that managers couldn't use them effectively. "It really wasn't something they could use on their own, let alone use in a meeting," said Katrina Botting, who heads data strategy and intelligence for GM's telecom organization, in a presentation at Tableau Conference 2017. It wasn't until last year, when Botting and her team learned how to effectively utilize the software's data extract feature as part of GM's Tableau implementation, that reports loaded quickly enough to be truly self-service. The extract feature loads a snapshot of data stored on disk into memory; now, virtually all reports are based on extracted data, and reports that once took several minutes to load do so in seconds, Botting said. Managers in the telecom unit used to meet with each other just to make sure they a...

Evolution of SQL Server from SQL 2000 to SQL Server 2008 R2

As a software professional i would attend some technical interviews with some reputed companies for their open positions. Most of them asked me  What is the differenced between SQL 2000 and 2005 . Since i have worked on all SQLversions from SQL Server 7.0/2000 to 2008 r2, I felt just like our human race is evolving, SQL Server is also evolving. Each release will meet with exact requirement of the industry it was born. When SQL Server has evoled from SQL Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005, this was the major difference we felt, in a quick summary in tabular format. Feature SQL Server 2000 SQL Server 2005 Security Owner = Schema, hard to remove old users at times Schema is separate. Better granularity in easily controlling security. Logins can be authenticated by certificates. Encryption No options built in, expensive third party options with proprietary skills required to implement properly. Encryption and key management build in. High Availability Clustering or Log Shipping...

The keys to a successful business intelligence strategy

Business intelligence (BI) is essential for business growth and competitive advantage, yet reaping benefits from BI requires more than implementing the technology that enables it. In fact, deploying the technology is the easiest part of any BI initiative, according to Boris Evelson, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester Research. Getting the personnel and processes portions right are much more challenging, he says. As such, organisations must addresses personnel and processes as key facets of their  BI strategy  if they want to be successful. Moreover, BI strategies should be broken down even further to address ownership and continual improvement as well. These are the seven essential components of any successful BI strategy, according to BI experts. Give business ownership over BI Organisations that place BI in the hands of business users have greater success rates than those who confine BI within IT, Evelson says. This may mean embedding BI within line...
