Hosted on an external server, this HCM Cloud is accessible at any time in desktop or mobile version. It helps HR managers to better manage their core processes such as payroll, training, talent management, skills assessment or recruitment
Thanks to the Cloud, HR specialists have access to the latest update of their data in real time. HR managers can therefore completely focus on their job since everything that is server or software is managed by the SaaS provider. The most known HCM Cloud on the market are Oracle HCM, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Talentsoft and Conerstone.
Within 5 years, 57% of companies in the market will have adopted a cloud software solution.
