The reason I have brought up this question is a recent blog commenter suggested that the term HRMS had replaced HRIS. Truthfully, I could not disagree any more than I do. So I wanted to take this opportunity to prove my case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Search Engines and Searches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the term HRMS had replaced HRIS, then wouldn\u2019t that mean that fewer people would be searching on the term HRIS than HRMS? Well, of course it would.\u00a0 Unless, of course, no one realized the terms were changing. According to Google Ad words keyword research tool there are over 210,000 global searches per month on the term HRIS but only 200,000 global searches for HRMS per month. If the term HRMS is replacing HRIS, then those searching online for these types of systems don\u2019t seem to be aware of it. Either way I feel pretty safe with how well CompareHRIS.com is positioned with keyword ranking. We currently rank #4 for HRIS on Google and #5 for HRMS.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vendor System names and industry confusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the term HRMS was replacing HRIS, wouldn\u2019t it make sense to see fewer and fewer companies use the HRIS term? We list 20 of the industry\u2019s leading HRIS\/HRMS systems on CompareHRIS.com, 5 of those systems list themselves as a HRIS, 2 list themselves as a HRMS and 3 list their products as a HCM. I guess an argument could be made that the term HCM is replacing HRMS as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If the term\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.comparehris.com\/\">HRMS<\/a>\u00a0is replacing HRIS, it does not appear that the people searching for these types of systems know. Nor does it appear that the software producers know. I wrote an article last year on the subject of comparing these terms that you may find interesting as well:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.comparehris.com\/HRIS-Solutions-Versus-HRMS-Solutions\/\">HRIS solutions versus HRMS solutions &#8211; What\u2019s the difference?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering that the name of my website business is CompareHRIS.com, I sure hope not but I don\u2019t think I have anything to worry about.
