Key Findings & Highlights:

Due to the continued adoption of cloud based HR systems, vendors have expanded their cloud based HR services, which includes pre-deployment, deployment, and post-deployment services.

Pre-deployment services focus on HR cloud consulting services; deployment services focus on the implementation of a SaaS based HR system, including SuccessFactors Employee Central, Workday HCM, Oracle HCM Cloud, or a vendor proprietary HR system; and post-deployment services include AMS and HR BPS. 

Many HR BPaaS vendors have adopted an agnostic cloud based platform strategy, supporting SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle HCM Cloud. Approximately 25% of vendors exclusively support one particular cloud platform, and ~35% of vendors have a preferred HR cloud technology.

In the last 12 months, vendors have been enhancing their HR BPaaS capabilities by developing tools and enablers to improve speed of deployment, offering additional services, and expanding post deployment support services. Cloud based HR technology vendors have been focusing (and will continue to focus) investments on enhancing the user experience and expanding talent management capabilities. 

Transforming/updating existing HR processes and systems in a sustainable model is the top driver for cloud based HR services. Having the flexibility of operating on a cloud based HR system, including access to product innovations and the ease of supporting future growth, is also an important driver among organizations.

Desire to leverage previous technology investments and other competing priorities for organizations are the top barriers to cloud based HR services.
