This document provides an overview of the history and future of HR technology. It discusses how HR technology initially focused on automating payroll processing in the 1960s before expanding to broader HR management systems in the 1980s. The rise of the internet and web-based applications in the 1990s further transformed HR by allowing remote access to information. Today, software-as-a-service solutions and single application HCM systems are prevalent, while emerging areas of focus include talent management, analytics, and mobile technologies.
