Comparing on premise to cloud HR software
When comparing on premise to cloud HR software a good place to start is company strategy – has your organisation already made a conscious decision to utilise cloud technology?Many organisations choose cloud HR solutions following the successful implementation of cloud technology in other departments (e.g. sales, using CRMs such as Salesforce.com) where they have already started to benefit from:
- reduced demands on internal IT resources
- reduced requirements for hardware and servers
- more compelling user interfaces (hence higher end user adoption and productivity)
- improved accessibility through a range of internet enabled devices
- application maintenance and upgrades with minimal disruption
- standardised reports and analysis where applications sit on the same platform
- Lowering costs through shared infrastructure and economies of scale
- Simple ongoing maintenance and updates
- Application can be configured whilst leaving the underlying source code unaltered
- Less convenient – access limited to certain locations/devices/software, often requires significant capital investment which ‘locks in’ the customer
- On going support from IT team required
- Often a longer implementation period
- Highly convenient – no upgrades, maintenance or hardware requirements, access from (pretty much) any internet enabled device, customer pays per system user
- Provider responsible for maintenance, security and certification
- Quick to deploy
