5 Reasons HCM Analytics Aren't Enough

You need purpose-built people analytics to provide quick, meaningful insights

One of the top complaints we hear about HCM analytics is that they can’t provide the depth of analysis required to make strategic decisions. While human capital management (HCM) systems are powerful tools for automating and managing HR data processes, they fall short in providing detailed analytics customized to specific business needs.

To meet the needs of the business, you need multi-source people analytics that unite people data with business data from all of your disparate systems to link data and insights to action. Savvy people-focused organizations use HCM solutions to manage HR transactions and leverage people analytics to answer more complex, strategic questions.

Overcome limitations of HCM analytics, like:

  • The inability to integrate multiple data sources, which constrains strategic decision-making
  • The lack of contextualized, real-time analytics required to connect people to business outcomes
  • The restrictions on self-serve data exploration and in-depth analysis
