Before CompareHRIS.com and entering the online\u00a0human resource information system<\/a>\u00a0(HRIS) buyer\u2019s zone, as I will call it for this blog, I owned a\u00a0HR software<\/a>\u00a0reseller business for over ten years. Basically, we sold, supported, and provided implementation services on a number of the leading\u00a0HR Information Systems<\/a>\u00a0(HRIS) systems. In the summer of 2006, I was spending time online researching other HRIS\/HRMS solutions<\/a>\u00a0we could offer to future prospects. During this research, I ended up reviewing many of the other HRIS comparison sites within the online HRIS buyer\u2019s zone.<\/p>\n

What I found in the HRIS buyer\u2019s zone was a complete lack of detail or knowledge of the industry. I did not at that time think I was an expert but compared to what else I saw in the HRIS buyer\u2019s zone, apparently I was. On one site, I filled out a ten question survey and at the end was told vendors would contact me and give me free quotes. Which ones? I was not sure. How many? Who knows? Would they meet my needs? Actually none did. It ended up that a couple contacted me but they did not have reseller programs of any kind setup. So on to the next site. On the next site, I found seven vendors listed under their\u00a0HRIS vendors<\/span>\u00a0but in reality maybe three of these were actually HRIS systems. The others were talent management or applicant tracking systems. I found one additional site and they had more questions but most seem to be centered on my industry as opposed to the actual features and options I might have been looking for. I think I got a call from one of their customer service people but that was about it.<\/p>\n

Okay, now I got it. I had heard from my clients and prospects what a hassle it was to research HRIS and\u00a0HR solutions<\/a>\u00a0in the HRIS buyer\u2019s zone but until now I had no idea what they meant. Here I was apparently an industry expert and I was not able to accomplish anything after a number of exhaustive hours trying to compare the industry\u2019s leading HRIS and\u00a0HRMS systems<\/span>.<\/p>\n

For the prior 15 years, I worked as a solution provider of HRIS and\u00a0HRM Software<\/a>. In my opinion, the other sites I reviewed created more problems than solutions. It was at that time I made the decision to create CompareHRIS.com. Best decision I ever made.<\/p>\n

My goal was to offer more detail than any other site or resource on HRIS and\u00a0Employee Management Software<\/a>. Today 20 of the industry\u2019s leading\u00a0HR management software<\/a>\u00a0(HRMS) and HRIS systems are listed on CompareHRIS.com. Visitors to our site can research and review a great deal of valuable information on these systems all on one site. Many of the vendors even offer pre-recorded demos where prospects can view on the fly the systems they might want to review in greater detail.<\/p>\n

Today we list over 130 articles pertaining to researching, demoing, selecting, and implementing these systems. We offer our extremely popular free HRIS buyers guide. I\u2019m personally very proud of this document. I created a ten step game plan for those planning on selecting a HR software application. Our HRIS selection tool is widely used and is considered by many as the best online tool available for those researching HRIS software systems. We recently added a free HRIS RFP template in a downloadable modifiable word format. All of these features are free to those who use our site. We are continuing to work on adding tools, content and improving the entire concept. I am as OCD today about CompareHRIS.com as I was when I started. One of my vendors observed that it\u2019s my baby.<\/p>\n

Remember, I entered the HRIS buyer\u2019s zone because I could not find what I was looking for on any of the other sites. Maybe that\u2019s the same reason you found my site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
