HR Technology

An HR technology investment decision involves much more than a comparison of solutions, features and functions. A detailed understanding of your organization’s operational needs and challenges is critical, as there is no single ideal solution. Once a decision is made, the success of the investment depends on an implementation that delivers as planned and drives adoption for all users. Black Box Consulting utilizes a proven process for a successful technology strategy, from selection to implementation. Highlights include:

Evaluation and Selection
Black Box Consulting provides key advantages to help ensure that you make the right technology decision for your organization.

• A focused and objective evaluation process: Our process includes an assessment of the organization’s current state, desired future state and the technology requirements needed to achieve that future state goal. Key stakeholder meetings, vendor demonstrations and decision-making are driven by a proven methodology with objective “scorecard” evaluation to arrive at a detailed and practical decision.
• Technology expertise: Our areas of technology expertise include all best-of-breed point solutions as well as the major HR suites, in addition to deep experience in systems implementation.
• Vendor neutrality: Although we have strong relationships with the vendors in the HR technology space, we have no sales relationships with any of these vendors. This ensures that Black Box Consulting can help you make your technology decision solely based on the vendor's alignment with your unique business requirements.
• Communication and adoption: Adoption and support are as important to a technology decision as the technology itself. The Black Box Consulting evaluation and selection process includes key stakeholder workshops and continuous communication to ensure buy-in and support for the final decision.

Implementation
Our experts provide leadership and support through all aspects of a best practice implementation. Primary steps in the process include:

• Discovery: Determine the goals, structure and requirements for the business in implementing the solution.
• Design: Determine how the solution will work within the company’s business and technical framework.
• Build: Configure the solution to meet the functional and technical design specifications.
• Test: Conduct thorough testing of the solution to ensure it matches the design specifications and meets business needs.
• Launch: Deliver training, finalize the production environment and provide post-launch support.
• Evaluate: Monitor the system and continue post-launch development planning and execution.
