Karl Ederle of Wired recently reported that Big Data is driving an improved talent management sector. He writes, “As today’s companies continue to accumulate vast amounts of data, many struggle with how to best exploit the information they’ve gathered and achieve a true business advantage. Strategic organizations have adopted cloud-based solutions to assist them in translating big data into actionable intelligence, and in the area of talent management specifically, it has proven to be an important competitive advantage.”
Ederle continues, “The ability to effectively extract, capture, store, search, share and analyze information, while also embracing relevant new technologies, can make the difference between growth and stagnation in an already difficult climate of economic uncertainty and business volatility. Every day, thousands of companies tap into the talent management cloud to better understand and capitalize on the traits, talents and strengths of their people and with that knowledge grow their businesses more effectively. Today’s cloud-based talent solutions have afforded a new dimension of data intelligence mining, and companies that continually strive to ensure the greatest possible benefits from these investments are seeing the greatest successes.”
