The Kenexa/IBM deal – The consequences for the HR solution space | ZDNet
Summary
The Kenexa/IBM deal – The consequences for the HR solution space A number of analysts have pondered questions like: - Was the Kenexa offer price appropriate? But after listening to the conference call IBM did Monday, I think we’re not looking at the true, bigger impact of this deal. They’re bundling Kenexa Talent Acquisition/Management solutions with their social media chops, analytics, and more (e.g., Lotus Notes?) Ive seen the eyes of executives glaze over when an HR person wants to talk to them about engagement, organization design and performance management. If your firm sells HR technology, you probably need to find a solid, strategic consulting partner (think IBM competitor) that can both sell to CEOs successfully but also has the skills in other technologies (e.g., analytics, social media and more) that your firm lacks.
