Taleo Talent Management vs. ERP

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software is fine for making widgets and counting beans. But not people. With 70% of an average company's spend on people, 72% of CEOs agree that finding and retaining top talent is their primary concern.

People require a new set of tools. ERP systems were designed to manage physical assets - not talent. Talent management is fundamentally different. It empowers companies to make business more productive, line managers more effective, and employees more engaged and motivated.

When you can learn more about your employees on Facebook or Twitter than from your internal systems - that's a big problem. Talent management is the new solution that delivers a unified view of your workforce through recruiting, performance management, development, and compensation. Plus it runs on Web 2.0 technology that's so fast, social, mobile, and friendly that people actually want to use it.
