"The human resources field has long needed practical advice on the selection of HR software, and here is a book loaded with useful guidance. Unlike many other books that have appeared in recent years, it gives attention to the concerns of small and mid-sized firms, and it covers, not just human resource information systems, but the wide range of specialized HR software, as well. It gives clear explanations of the latest advances of technology, and addresses the numerous considerations, some very subtle, to take into account in acquiring HR software or software-based services. Unless you're going to hire a consultant to guide your selection process, you will find this book's assistance indispensable. I would recommend it to all readers of my HR software directories."
