Talent Analytics and HR Data Integration We are entering the world of Datafication in HR. Data-driven thinking and integrated data infrastructure are fast becoming requirements for every HR organization. Talent analytics can help companies uncover their best talent sources, understand the essential characteristics of high performing sales professionals, and predict turnover across the organization. So every HR executive is using predictive analytics to drive their strategic workforce decisions, right? Wrong. Managing talent data effectively is a massive challenge for HR. According to Bersin by Deloitte, even though more than 60 percent of companies are now investing in Talent Analytics only 14 percent have done any significant statistical analysis of employee data at all. In fact, 84 percent are still dealing with data management and reporting challenges created by the need to pull information from multiple talent system silos. Historically Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) consolidation has been considered the best option to get an integrated HR system with one centralized talent database and one single version of the truth. But consolidations are wildly expensive, time consuming, and lock you in with one vendor for years. With Colossus HRIS consolidation and expensive third party custom integration projects are no longer necessary. You can utilize new advances in technology to create a virtual system of record that is cost effective and fast to implement.

Colossus is designed to efficiently and completely manage your entire data integration process.
Traditional challenges of data integration and management include: Different data requirements across disparate systems Hundreds of data feeds that must be developed and delivered to different applications and systems that HRIS teams are required to develop and maintain to exact standards Data that must be replicated in different systems resulting in redundancy and inconsistency Common data points that are reused in multiple feeds/products (Names, EEID s, Salary Grades, Jobs, Job Codes etc.) Adding new data into existing feeds and processes is a burden placed completely on you, the customer Colossus Business Value Colossus is PeopleFluent s innovative new data integration cloud service that will create significant value for your organization by: Operationalizing more data and making it available to your business Breaking down the data walls: it does the heavy-lifting of integration with other systems and their data eliminating the integration nightmare Integrating your entire HR ecosystem, as well as data from outside sources (HRMS, ERP, Payroll, Sales)

Colossus enables secure data sharing across applications and systems. And, all of this occurs in the context of a secure and protected connection to your data sources, whether they come from a cloud-based or on-premise sources. This reduces the complexity and streamlines data feeds. Both new and current PeopleFluent customers benefit from Colossus, since current live integrations that work can remain as is, while new data and applications can be easily integrated with Colossus. Value for Your HRIS and IT Teams PeopleFluent Colossus is designed to reduce the time, effort, and cost involved with pulling, formatting and transferring data by accepting data in almost any file form (XML, CSV, Delimited, etc.)
or transport type (ftp, ftps, http, https, etc.), including any API s you might currently have, and transforming it to meet the needs of consuming applications. With PeopleFluent Colossus, data moves fluidly between all applications from a consolidated data source, streamlining integrations and reducing complexity both during the initial implementation, and on an ongoing basis. Consolidated feeds means common automated task monitoring and audit reports, leading to simple data validation. The days of replicating data in multiple formats, worrying about matching data between applications, and slow response times from third party support are over. PeopleFluent Colossus also supports all of the latest security standards related to data transport, and industry standard secure data protocols, including FTP, SFTP, PGP, and many others you could currently be using, or may want to use. This enables secure communication and sharing of data across on-premise and cloud applications. This also means Colossus can leverage any existing feeds or processes and easily integrate new data and applications as needed.
