HRchitect Celebrates 11 Years As the Leader in HR Systems Strategic Consulting

Frisco, TX – June 26, 2008 -- HRchitect, the leader in HR systems strategic consulting and the premier Human Capital Management (HCM) and Talent Management systems consulting firm, is celebrating eleven years of providing HR technology and strategy consulting services.

Since its inception in April 1997, HRchitect has been the firm that more companies look to for their HR and talent management systems initiatives than any other firm.  In the last eleven years, HRchitect has completed over 500 successful client engagements with notable companies of all sizes and industries.

“Wow, eleven years!” exclaimed President and Founder of HRchitect, Rick Fletcher. “When the company was started, we found a huge gap in evaluation and selection services for talent management systems and looked to help fill it. People thought we were crazy to focus in on one area but we knew that talent management systems and their importance would only grow. We wanted to be experts and focus our efforts and entire business plan around that. Today we continue to grow and diversify while holding the enviable leadership position in HR systems strategic consulting.”  
 
Some of the highlights that HRchitect has achieved over the past few years include:  

  • The addition of over 200 new clients and projects since 2004. These clients include projects where HRchitect helped evaluate talent management solutions, implement talent management solutions, or conduct strategic planning sessions.
  • In early 2007, HRchitect launched a HR Systems Strategic Planning practice to fill another gaping hole in this industry. This has become the fastest growing segment of HRchitect’s business.
  • HRchitect continues to speak at industry and vendor conferences, write articles, and increase its unparalleled knowledge of HR systems in the market today.
  • In May 2008, HRchitect released the first report in an ongoing series of Human Capital Management (HCM) Technology Reality Checks called “The Suite Life of Integrated Talent Management”. This breakthrough report provides readers with a real world perspective that has been gained through hundreds of evaluation, selection, and implementation projects conducted by HRchitect consultants over the past decade.  The report includes detailed information on the Integrated Talent Management software market, market dynamics, market factors that will impact ITM applications over the next 2-3 years, and decision drivers to consider when evaluating an ITM solution.  Also contained within the report are summaries of the top ITM suite vendors in the industry.

“HRchitect has thrived over the past decade despite major market shifts that have negatively affected many other consulting firms in our industry,” added Dan Katavola, VP of Consulting Services for HRchitect. “Our entire consulting team has enjoyed helping companies successfully select systems throughout the past decade. Too many companies select a system because they liked the sales person, or a particular feature, or something along those lines. What we have brought to the table is a proven methodology and set of processes to make sure the right system is chosen the first time, saving an enormous amount of time and money in the process.”
 
HRchitect would like to thank all of the customers who have honored us with their new business, their repeat business, and their referrals over the past eleven years. It is simply the greatest compliment and affirmation of what HRchitect has been working so hard towards and will continue to do for the next decade.
