Cedar Crestone HR System Survey 2009-2010 Available Now

I have been a big fan of Cedar Crestone survey for its sheer ability to combine HR and Technology so well.
Last year results were amazing, those who missed it can have a look at the results here

This year the survey is back with a promise to extend the reach, and thereby the benefits for you. It is just the perfect example of what goes into the preparation of a well defined result (courtesy Lexy Martin, the undisputed Survey Queen, who over the years has juggled with numbers and data and given really meaningful results).

Some Facts about the current survey

Why Participate?
The survey results will help you justify new technologies, choose the best deployment option, decide which ones to do next, and provide invaluable metrics for benchmarking aspects such as expenditures and staffing. As a survey respondent, you will receive results in advance of our public release at the HR Technology conference on October 1, 2009.

Who Should Participate?
The survey collects responses from HR and IT management with knowledge of the HR technologies in use and planned, as well as those with an overview of key outsourcing and hosting decisions. CedarCrestone invites representatives from organizations in all industries with over 500 employees to participate.They also make it easy for multiple people in your organization to respond if no one person can answer all sections.

Continuing and New Research Areas For 2009
This year’s survey covers questions about the following:

* Adoption of talent management, business intelligence, service delivery, and workforce management applications as well as SOA and Web 2.0 innovations
* Deployment options and related expenditures (on premise, software-as-a-service, hosting, business process outsourcing, etc.)
* Comprehensive metrics such as employee/HR staff ratios, administrative costs per employee, links between technology adoption and financial performance, and many others

Please Participate in this Industry-leading Research
The estimated time to complete the survey is 30 minutes and this year’s survey is shorter than in the past. Data collection begins today and will be available through June 22, 2009. The survey instrument is available at www.CedarCrestone.com/hrssv65.
