Editor's Notes
- HR-related e-business – or any inter-company exchange of HR data – requires an agreement among participants about how the transaction or data exchange will be accomplished. Today, most HR decision makers, similar to our hypothetical toaster shopper, do not include standards as part of the criteria they use in procuring HR information solutions. Consequently, most HR information solutions require expensive custom integration before they become truly productive. Research shows that the upfront costs of software account for only 30 to 40 percent (or less) of the total cost of implementing HR information solutions. Discovery, analysis, custom interface development, and ongoing maintenance account for the other 60 to 70 percent of many HR information solution implementations. Data interchange standards can dramatically reduce the amount of expensive customization required to make implementations of HR solutions productive. The HR-XML Consortium's data interchange standards provide flexible, extensible templates that can readily be used to integrate disparate systems. Without standards, ad hoc data interchange formats must be developed or employers may become locked-in to a proprietary format provided by their vendorHR-related e-business — or any inter-company exchange of HR data — requires an agreement among participants about how the transaction or data exchange will be accomplished.
- The HR-XML Consortium is a worldwide, independent, non-profit organization dedicated to developing and promoting standard XML specifications to enable e-business and the automation of human resources-related data exchanges. The mission of the HR-XML Consortium is to spare employers and vendors the risk and expense of having to negotiate and agree upon data interchange mechanisms on an ad-hoc basis. By developing and publishing open data exchange standards based on Extensible Markup Language ("XML"), the Consortium provides the means for any company to transact with other companies without having to establish, engineer, and implement many separate interchange mechanisms. What Progress to Date The HR-XML Consortium was founded in December 1999 and has made swift progress since. The Consortium’s work continues, but thus far it has published data interchange specifications for the following areas: • Recruiting and staffing (job postings, resumes, and candidate information); * New Hire • Benefits enrollment; * Assessments • Payroll deduction requests; • Post-payroll reports of benefit contributions; • Time and expense capture and reporting; * EPM • Screening & Background checks; and • Employee stock options/stock purchase plans. Indicative Data Competency In addition, the Consortium has published a suite of specifications known as Staffing Industry Data Exchange Standards (SIDES). SIDES is designed to support the procurement of temporary staffing. Our members determine which standards are needed and what those standards will look like. 3. Major ERPs, Niche companies, Standard orgs such as ACORD (insurance), OAGIS (cross domain) are involved with our organization. Including HR Industry Organizations such as SHRM, IHRIM, NABPS 4. Global with strongest participation in EU countries, Canada and North America. Participants from Japan, China, India Some newer projects on the horizon include: Job Boards (Position Opening, Candidate transaction rules) Compensation – plan for Jan/Feb investigative call Drug Testing – plan for 2011 project
- HR-XML is committed to the development and promotion of our specification, but being apart of the organization is more than that. HR-XML dedicates time and resources to ensure our community has the resources and implementation assistance you need to successfully integrate. Certification is a great example, our certification process offers the tools and resources you need to ensure and promote to your customers and partners that your organization has successfully adopted the HR-XML standards. HR-XML is not all technical – we are a global community, with a collective passion for our industry and technologies. Networking is an important part of this community, through online communities such as our member forums and linked-in groups. And events and meetings, like these and through participating in our workgroups – perhaps as a volunteer. This value is delivered through tools and resources focused on business optimization, through data exchange, knowledge transfer and professional development amongst the HR-XML Community. And, these tools are made available 365 days a year through multiple channels, leveraging technology-based and face to face venues.
