Frisco, TX – May 30, 2008 – HRchitect, the leader in HR systems strategic consulting, and the premier Human Capital Management (HCM) and Talent Management systems consulting firm, announced today the availability of The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management.

The report is the first in HRchitect’s ongoing HR Technology Reality Check series. The main focus of The Suite Life is to provide readers with the real world perspective that has been gained through hundreds of software evaluation, selection, and implementation projects conducted by HRchitect consultants over the past decade.

“The Integrated Talent Management (ITM) software marketplace is very confusing for potential customers, and it’s difficult to sort out the marketing hype from reality,” stated Ron Hanscome, principal author of The Suite Life and Vice President of HCM Technology Strategy for HRchitect. “HRchitect consultants have had a great deal of exposure to market needs through many strategic consulting projects, as well as first-hand experience as to how most of the leading ITM vendor solutions perform in the real world. This report distills those experiences and presents a uniquely qualified view of the ITM market that is missing from many other analyst reports.”

Also contained within the report are insightful summaries of the top ITM suite vendors in the industry.

“HRchitect demonstrates our true vendor neutrality within the report,” added Matt Lafata, Director of Business Development for HRchitect. “We took the top Talent Management Suite vendors and put forward both their strengths, along with their challenges. Organizations need as much information as possible to be able to determine which of the talent management components are most important to them, and make a decision based on that.” These components include Performance Management, Succession Management, Compensation Management, Learning Management, Competency Management, and Talent Acquisition Systems.

Each of the 21 vendors summarized in The Suite Life were asked to complete a detailed survey outlining their products’ capabilities, technology platform, global coverage, customer implementation, and major areas of differentiation. These surveys, combined with reviews of each company’s website and collateral and insights from HRchitect resulted in the vendor summary section of the report.

“Our goal in publishing The Suite Life was to be able to bring some resolution to the widespread confusion in the marketplace,” added Rick Fletcher, President and Founder of HRchitect. “This report provides a concise overview of the ITM software market and ends with our recommendations to help firms negotiate the complicated market landscape that is unique to ITM. And, quite frankly, we were just not happy with most of the research being published out there.”

The Suite Life’s overview of the ITM market covers such areas as dynamics, enterprise and mid-market segment characteristics, fundamentals of vendor landscape, and critical ITM decision drivers.

The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management is available via HRchitect’s website at www.HRchitect.com or by calling 214.619.0888. Cost of the report is $495.
