Today, the HR function should be considered vital, if not critical, to the continuing success of the corporate enterprise. HR and its related activities must be interwoven with the overall strategies of the organization. And all aspects of a business have an impact on its most important and unique resource: Its HUMAN resource.

In this “little book with BIG ideas” you will learn how to:
- Move from doing Data Management to Information Craftsmanship where your HR function will provide information of strategic value to your stakeholders.
- Understand how HR technology with its many features and functions can support the business you are in.
- Find and evaluate HR Technology software providers, especially in the Software-as-a Service (Cloud) environment.
This book WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF AS AN HR PROFESSIONAL:
- It brings you up-to-date on how HR technology enables you to generate strategic, valued information with Metrics and Dashboards.
- It gives you the arguments to help you to justify expenses needed to make it happen.

You deserve it! And there is a Monument (inside the book) ready to honor your efforts!
