This new move is also driving the much sought "agility" factor into all of their operations, be it responding to market needs or being prompt at absorbing suitable talents. HR solutions residing in the cloud can drive value by eliminating the need for on-premise software maintenance, expensive licenses, disruptive upgrades, and sensitive hardware. Costly and lengthy installments are now obsolete; readily scalable solutions with affordable subscription models that allow you to pay for only what you use are in. In addition to the above, another aspect that has got major push is analytics. The democratization of analytics capabilities done by cloud gives HR departments the power to better understand their people and make informed decisions that improve operational efficiencies. Although at a much lesser level but artificial intelligence is also making inroads into enterprises and it goes without mentioning that cloud will help disperse this technology, reducing human interventions significantly with emulating outcomes. By taking heavily resource oriented and repetitive tasks out of the equation, artificial intelligence will give hiring managers the opportunity to engage with candidates in better ways. These are only a couple of innovations that are changing the world of HR as we know it.
