Cloud Computing for HR

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 by Tim Giehll

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard the loud buzz about Cloud Computing.  Plugging into the Cloud promises to eliminate the need for lots of on-site hardware, installed software, and disruptive and expensive upgrades for Human Resource departments and Staffing firms.  Just think, no more hardware to buy/replace, no more servers to maintain, no more IT staff to pay and no more backups to worry about.  HR departments and staffing firms “do not want to manage IT, they want to manage their business”, explains Simon Piff, a practice director for enterprise infrastructure at www.IDC.com , the global IT market researcher.  Cloud applications for HR and Staffing also can support fast, scalable, and incrementally priced growth.
