Infohrm (http://www.infohrm.com/about/), the global leader in full-service workforce planning, reporting, and analysis solutions today announced that Gartner has named Infohrm to its "Cool Vendors for Human Capital Management Software, 2008" report, published on April 1, 2008. Infohrm was one of four technology vendors evaluated in this year's Cool Vendors report authored by analysts James Holincheck and Thomas Otter.
This year's report notes that workforce analytics (http://www.infohrm.com/services/analytics.aspx) is a major emerging trend
in HCM software that provides the context for better talent management and more focused HCM interventions. The report also finds that HR leaders looking to build strong links between HR
and business bottom-line success will require strong empirical and analytical proof points. Gartner expects the demand for tools and services that collate, present, and interpret HR
analytical data to grow significantly in 2008.
Infohrm has an innovative Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, providing sophisticated analytics, benchmarking (http://www.infohrm.com/services/benchmarking.aspx), and workforce planning (http://www.infohrm.com/services/workforce_planning.aspx) capabilities. Infohrm has more than 60 members (http://www.infohrm.com/about/clients.aspx), including General Dynamics, MetLife, Time Warner, Nokia, and Starbucks.
"We are delighted that Gartner has analyzed Infohrm, which we feel is acknowledgement of our innovative solutions, as one of the most intriguing, and "cool", offerings in the HCM
marketplace," said Brian Kelly, President of Infohrm North America. "Our proprietary on-demand software is unmatched in its ability to help business leaders manage their human capital
through increasingly sophisticated analytics."
"Nokia has partnered with Infohrm for several years and we're extremely pleased to see Gartner include them as a Cool Vendor", said Matthew Hanwell, Senior Manager at Nokia. "Workforce
analytics is a key capability we are developing to support strategic talent management at Nokia."
