In Memoriam: Robin Fray Carey

“Multinational enterprises often have hundreds of different HR systems, covering multiple countries and multiple HR functions, but struggle to get them to work together. Rob Visser, global head of HR-IT at financial services company ING, said suppliers should take the initiative to collaborate on developing common data standards. ‘I feel I am part of the vendor community, because a large amount of my budget is spent getting different vendors to work together,’ he said.”

The best analogy of the situation was offered by Gartner’s Thomas Otter, who likened integrating HR IT systems to “a vet sewing a tail back on a dog.” As he put it so well:

“Integration is easy if you know which is the dog and which is the tail. But you run into problems if you try to stitch two dogs together. The problem is that the vendors all think they are the dog.”

Thanks to Loraine Lawson for surfacing this report.
