A Jazz Infused Walk Through The HRIS Software Marketplace with a Vegas Vibe.

Welome to the Las Vegas Mom’s spare bedroom version of the HRIS Careers podcast.  I just arrived in Las Vegas for the HR Technology conference and decided to give this episode Vegas style jazzy vibe with AI Troy's help.

This episode was prompted by a friend from high school that is a very accomplished software sales executive.  But not in the HR software space.  He just became the Chief Revenue Officer of a compensation planning software company and needed a better a grasp of the HR software marketplace.  If you want to know who the company is email me at troy.wallace@hriscareers.com or ask in the comments.

 I decided to make a quick overview of the entire HR software landscape for him.  I did concentrate on the over 1000 employee market and you will hear me reference the 1000 – 3000 employee market since he thought that would be his initial focus with the software.
