Enterprise Systems Integration– Enterprise system integration is the process of connecting existing systems to share and communicate information. Integrating applications enables data to flow between systems with ease, simplifying IT processes and increasing agility across your business.
Vendors of TMS software (Levensaler & Laurano 2009) typically claim varying degrees of integration with other enterprise software vendors, and in particular with leading vendors of HRMS systems. The accuracy of these claims is often a question of interpretation, as the degree to which each vendor integrates with 3rd party systems varies considerably depending on circumstances and both the vendor and the third party solution. In some cases, third-party vendors offer certification for such scenarios, in order to offer some basis of comparison.
Research from Gallup and others shows that employee engagement and performance is enhanced when employees know what is expected of them, feel that their job is important to the organization’s mission, and get regular feedback on their progress.
So if you want to drive up employee performance, set up a process that ensures:
- Organizational goals are clearly communicated and are accessible to all employees.
- Every employee has clear individual goals.
- Individual employee goals are clearly linked to organizational goals so employees see how they are contributing to organizational success.
- Employee progress on goals in monitored and communicated.
- Organizational progress on goals in monitored and communicated.
