HRchitect Launches Employee Performance Management (EPM) Consulting Practice

Frisco, TX and Cambridge, MA – HRchitect, a Human Capital Management (HCM) consulting services firm, announced they have expanded their service offerings by launching an Employee Performance Management (EPM) consulting practice to meet a growing need in today's workplace.

HRchitect has been providing high quality ATS consulting services for over 8 years with great success. HRchitect is a vendor-neutral technology consulting firm. This neutrality allows them to provide unbiased vendor evaluation consulting services to their clients, which results in the selection of the best vendor for the client based on organizational fit and client needs.

"HRchitect's vendor neutrality has become our trademark within the vendor market community and within the HCM marketplace," said Dan Katavola, Vice President of Consulting Services for HRchitect.

Since the beginning of 2005, HRchitect has taken this unique approach to the EPM marketplace. They have studied the vendors in the EPM space, identified and are tracking the top vendors and are now launching their EPM practice. This practice will provide clients and prospects with the same high quality, unique approach to identifying the best solution to meet an organization's needs. By truly integrating it with the rest of their client's HR technology systems, they provide a cost savings and expertise usually not found in most firms.

"A big part of our business has always been working with clients who are evaluating and selecting ATS systems," said Rick Fletcher, President of HRchitect. "We've become the number one ATS consulting company, and many of our clients have been asking us about EPM systems. As a result, we have educated ourselves about the vendors and products in the EPM space to provide the same kind of unbiased support and expertise that leading companies have come to rely on through our ATS practice."

"After completing a number of EPM software evaluations this year, we find the EPM marketplace is very hot, but also very volatile," said Matt Lafata, Director of Marketing and head of the EPM practice at HRchitect. "This marketplace lags behind the ATS marketplace by many years and as a result, a number of current EPM vendors may not exist in the future or may be owned by another company. I believe we will also see many new players jump into this marketplace and numerous feature enhancements to existing products as vendors try to become the leader of an emerging market."

"The advantage we bring to any prospect or client thinking about implementing an EPM system," continued Lafata, "is not only our knowledge of the products, but also the vendors and their viability, (ie: the inside story). We strive to assist our clients in becoming enlightened and more knowledgeable in order for them to make informed decisions."

Companies interested in implementing a new EPM system or replacing an existing EPM system, should contact HRchitect for a free phone consultation. As the leaders in EPM consulting, HRchitect helps companies avoid making costly mistakes that are prevalent in HCM systems evaluations and implementations. HRchitect will help to ensure that the best long-term product is selected the first time.
