Abstract
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) has magnified the problem of short-sighted human resource (HR) software purchases that reflect a siloed mindset about HR technology investment. This article outlines the problem with the siloed approach and the many advantages offered by an HR technology revolution. The author reviews best practices to consider, whether from the perspective of a consultant or that of an HR professional building a case internally for integration. When investment in HR technology is based on how the technology can help employees make better decisions because of greater access to accurate data, the ripple effects of improved decision making translate into real savings.
