Anatomy of a Decision: Magnox Ltd. Makes the Decision to Migrate HCM and FP&A to the UNIT4 Cloud

Posted on by

What You Need to Know 3Sixty Insights spoke with a customer of Unit4 whose choice to continue their transformation by moving their human capital management (HCM) and financial planning and analysis (FP&A) tools to the cloud helps illustrate several emerging realities. Much of the need for HCM resides beyond HR’s traditional scope. HCM technology is at its best when integrated seamlessly with other domains of the enterprise. It provides deep companywide insights into the organization’s people data. This, in turn, furnishes leadership and line managers alike with the information they need to make real-time, informed decisions on staffing for optimal organizational resilience—e.g., workforce agility, financial control, cashflow management, reduction in staff turnover, right-fit talent for organizational growth, etc. People-centric organizations tend to have forward-thinking leaders […]

How to Effectively Debate Investment in HR Priorities with Your CFO

How to Effectively Debate Investment in HR Priorities with Your CFO

Posted on by

Chief Financial Officers (CFOs) have always been a friend of mine. Early in my career, I was the human resources business partner supporting the CFO at a global software development company with around 5,000 employees.  My role was partnering with the CFO and the leadership team, aligning around the business strategy, and leveraging the workforce to deliver on that strategy.  That included everything from recruiting, developing, and retaining talent. I worked on some very cool business priorities – restructuring to financial centers of excellence and transforming the business with technology.  What I learned from that experience is how to effectively negotiate for investment in talent strategies within the construct of the budget dollars and business strategy.  Thankful for that experience! Now as an industry analyst, […]

Analyzing M&A: OneSource Virtual’s Workday Deployment Business Acquired by Cognizant

Posted on by

For as many as 1,300 OneSource Virtual (OSV) customers, the announcement that Cognizant will buy its Workday professional services and consulting business is easily missed. Timing-wise, the acquisition was announced immediately following OSV quarter-end sales (Halloween) and just before politically charged mid-term elections. Moreover, Cognizant is still not a widely recognized brand in HR circles or within the Workday ecosystem despite its 2020 acquisition of long-standing Workday partner, Collaborative Solutions. What just happened? Press releases tell us that Cognizant has entered an agreement to acquire the professional services and application management practices of OneSource Virtual. In layperson’s terms, this is the technical deployment business that requires certified Workday professionals to configure and integrate Workday customers to go-live. It also includes the application management solutions (AMS) […]

Enterprise Risk’s Race to the Bottom: Sexy SAIDI

Posted on by

Cue this one up for today’s soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSk5U4oHhu0 Today I learned the statistical acronym SAIDI: System Average Interruption Duration Index. It’s the internationally recognized formula for calculating the average outage duration for each customer served by a utility, and it’s calculated by the expression: For those of you still PTSD’d from high school algebra and things containing letters from the Greek alphabet, in other words, it’s the sum of all the customer interruption durations divided by the total number of customers. Why should anyone care, do you ask? Following up on our recent examination of supply chain risk under-mitigation, have you or anyone else in your company investigated the impact to your business if, suddenly, employees’ mobile phones stopped working for any extended length of […]
