The deployment difference: The secret to HR tech success

Mercer is your deployment partner for HR Digital Transformation.
Overview
Organizations continue to implement technology and call it transformation. But when we evaluate most technology initiatives against traditional measures of success, we seem to be falling short of necessary value. The business fails to achieve the desired impact, the workforce experience doesn't improve as expected, and we don't truly change the way work gets done. In other words, we're implementing technology without deploying any new capabilities.
That's a significant problem. Technology is costly and requires substantial resources for configuration and maintenance. Designed and deployed with intention, it can also be a crucial differentiator in accelerating people and business growth. If technology is going to have real impact, we need to think beyond implementation and seek to deploy outcomes. This requires a shared vision and execution strategy between HR and IT, and it also requires deployment.
In our upcoming webinar, Mercer will explain how deployment addresses critical gaps an implementation alone overlooks. Deployment acts as the mortar for technology implementation projects, ensuring transformation program outcomes are achieved. It goes beyond simply getting the technology live. A true deployment partner helps you design for change, deploy against your digital HR strategy, and make progress on overall transformation. A technology implementation alone can’t do that.
Register to hear Jason Averbook and Jess Von Bank discuss these key concepts:
- Important differences between implementation of tech and deployment of outcomes
- Digital is not the same as technology. How do we learn to become digital, and what does the HR & IT partnership look like in a digital enterprise?
- The role everyone plays in deployment
- How to take the next step on an initiative already in motion or still in planning; don’t miss an opportunity to get your deployment right!
