The NEW HRMS Marketplace 

The new marketplace requires a new approach to HRMS product specification and selection - only CET is prepared and ready to help

Traditional HR software products consist of multiple components assembled by software vendors into saleable products, either as an on-premise licensed solution or an on-demand (Software-as-a-Service) solution: The presentation layer, application logic and database group of components are pre-assembled into one integrated solution. 

Now with new enabling technology such as Services Oriented Architecture (SOA), Web services and other Web 2.0 features HRMS products are undergoing a transition from the pre-assembled model to an assemble yourself component solutions with open integration capability. 
As the transition takes place buyers will have two options:

1

Assemble Yourself Solutions

It is the beginning of a new and exciting era for business application software: The logical evolution of technology has arrived at the point where companies' HR software requirements can be fully met by assembling the right mix of components from multiple software developers that are purpose built for an open interchangeable component architecture. CET maintains a collaborative Commercial Component Registry to list developers component products. The assembly model is enabled by a metadata standard developed by CET to provide guidelines for component development, repositories and registries. The standard is the HR-CSAS (Human Resource Component Software Application Standard) first published in 2002 and is updated with input from the business and software communities.
