Disrupt or be disrupted?:
HR going digital
Omesti Group technology partner Microimage HCM Asia sent a clear
message to top HR professionals in Malaysia at the launch of its
first-of-a-kind HCM Cloud Solution.
Cloud, Social, Mobile and Analytics are disrupting the way businesses
are run and it will be essential for organisations to remodel their
processes to meet these challenges head on.
"Disrupt or be disrupted," said Director, Microimage HCM Asia, Harsha
Purasinghe.

"Companies need to rapidly respond and transform to attract the best
talent, keep employees engaged, enable smoother collaboration across the
organisation and manage performance," he said.
"Taking HR into the digital era is the only way organisations could
keep pace. By 2020, more than 50 percent of the global workforce will
constitute millennials, a generation that associates with digital
technology," Purasinghe said.
Microimage has been in the HR solutions business for over 15 years,
transforming the HR space through technology, from personnel management
to human resource management to integrated talent management with an
evolving HCM platform.
"Now we have come to an era which calls for a digital
transformation," said Purasinghe. "We have wiped the slate clean and
come up with a fully interactive and visually appealing platform, which
leverages the power of key digital technology drivers."
Moving to digital platforms via cloud, mobile, social and analytics
will facilitate more open communication, instant feedback and
recognition, more frequent assessments and social collaboration towards
reinventing the performance review process.
Organisations can leverage video, social and mobile to drive
on-demand learning anytime anywhere on any device. Knowledge sharing and
continuous learning for employees will also become far more streamlined.
The all-new Microimage HCM Cloud, which was first launched to
audiences in Asia last month, enables companies to maximise the full
potential of digital while receiving a consumer grade user experience
that is intuitive and interactive. The solution works seamlessly across
all devices including mobile."HCM Cloud enables seamless scaling across
functionalities, where organisations can further innovate and deliver
compelling services to all their stakeholders. This is true digital
transformation of HR," he said.
The solution offers a comprehensive platform from Core HR to talent
management. Features include advanced organisation set up for
multi-country and group structures, advanced workflows, configurable
business rules, natural language query and people analytics across all
functions. Apps for iOS and Android provide fully mobile functionality.
HCM Cloud runs on Microsoft Azure Cloud service, selected for the
performance, security and efficiency that it offers, key considerations
for deploying a solution in the HR space where confidentiality of
sensitive data is paramount.
Director, Developer Experience and Evangelism, Microsoft Malaysia,
Dinesh Nair said, "In an increasingly mobile-first, cloud-first world,
cloud computing continues to change the way businesses reach their
customers, and in today's hyper-competitive environment, ISVs are on the
leading edge of this change, by lending the expertise to help ready
customers make the transition to cloud.
"For this reason, we are very excited to be working with Microimage
to bring their world-class solutions to the global marketplace. With
this partnership, organisations of all sizes looking for speed and
agility in cloud computing will turn to Microimage to leverage 21st
century innovations borne from the cloud itself," he said.
Microimage was first identified by Omesti in 2014 as an innovative
technology partner in the HR space. Microimage HCM Asia was subsequently
set up in Malaysia to bring cutting-edge HCM solutions to South East
Asia and beyond.
Omesti Group, Executive Director, Mah Xian-Zhen said, "This new
solution brings an entirely new level of sophistication and intuitive
working for HR professionals that will help them engage with the talent
of tomorrow. We are delighted to bring HCM Cloud to organisations across
the region."
