Vegas, Vienna, and Value

September 13, 2018 As we finish out summer and look ahead to the fall (or Autumn for my British roots) it's quite arguably my favorite time of the year. It’s not just because the kids have gone back to school after an eventful summer, or the fact I’m gearing up for possible Floridian weather (which so far it looks like we are in the clear), instead it’s the run up to the majestic trifecta: Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Among these family traditions, right in the middle, are the "work" celebrations; the festivities of HR Tech Conferences! And there are none better than the annual Workday Customer Conference - Workday Rising. The best part being there are two of them! Rising USA and Rising Europe. I’ve had the pleasure of attending both for several years now, and still each year I'm always looking forward to…

The Front Line of Service – SaaS done right.

SaaS
August 31, 2018 True SaaS Recently, Kane Frisby - our Chief Strategy Officer - wrote this: Workday customers and prospects are tech savvy. They get it. Power of One. True SaaS. Modern and innovative architecture. Sustainable Technology and Processes. It's second nature to a Rising attendee. We gel so well with the Workday Rising attendees, simply because we get it, too! I get to meet so many Dovetail and Workday customers and come away with so many new connections, all with meaningful and rich conversations. I believe the key to the success of the Rising events is the culmination of Workday Customers, Prospects, Employees, and Partners - coming together for the same purpose - delivering value to HR, Finance and Employees. Delivering Value - imagine that? Partnership Satisfaction Perhaps you can tell how happy he is, and we are, about our ongoing partnership with Workday.…

The Rise of a Great Partnership

Partnership
October 3, 2017 One of my favorite quotes from David Duffield, Co-founder /Co-CEO Workday is, “I’m sort of a foot-on-the-gas kind of guy.” We've noticed and we are happy for the ride! The Power of Partnerships I've been able to see first hand the power of partnerships over the last several years while working for and with HR Tech companies. Establishing and maintaining partnership relationships has developed some lasting friendships and superior allies in a space many of us love. Our partnership with Workday is no different. The Dovetail team works closely with Workday to ensure that the needs of clients are consistently met with the quality those clients have come to expect. As we Prepare for Workday Rising Two years in the making and now two years in, Dovetail maintains our Certified Solution Partner status with Workday. We consistently work hard to keep…

We have all been told, by now, of the millennial rock stars who won't work for us unless we connect with them in the world they rock - and it’s true! You not only need to empower employees and managers to keep them engaged, but you must also enable them - people enablement is key to productivity. People Enablement HR Technology is a big driver for people enablement. Alas, the reader is likely feeling troubled with the notion of costly technology investments, a platoon of expensive onsite technology consultants, and months turning into years of project timescales that never seem to hit a…

We Take Your Ideas Seriously at Dovetail

Your Ideas
March 23, 2016 Product Enhancement Requests When Building a Software-as-a-Service Application Part of building a SaaS application is the need to balance the needs of the many with the needs of the few.  Or the one.  (Yes, that’s a Star Trek reference.  Well spotted.)  We get some great ideas from our customers, who find new and amazing ways to use our software every day.  Because of that, though, we have to be mindful of how we handle those requests.  Some of them will make the system more useful for everyone, while some are very specific to that one client’s needs.  With that in mind, we thought it might be helpful to understand our process and how we handle these requests. Idea Generation Ideas come to us through several channels. We often hear of ideas during implementation, but they also flow in from active…

The Rising of Dovetail – Partnerships Matter

partnerships
September 18, 2015 Lessons of Partnership One of the most important lessons I have learned over the last several years while working for and with HR technology companies has been the importance of establishing and maintaining partnership relationships. Interestingly enough, some of my best friends in life have come as the result of creating a business / vendor relationship or working partnership. Loyalty Pays Off I have have been known to be a pretty loyal partner - I have worked with individuals and organizations for years and even brought new partners to the table to enrich a project but there have also been times when I have held the speaker high, by myself, and just proclaimed the good work of a partner/friend or my own organization.  There is a right time for each approach. Today I Shout for Workday Two years in the…

5 Reasons for Partner-Built Integrations

September 8, 2015 "Look For Vendors..." Not too long ago, I read Starr Conspiracy’ blog post titled “The ADP and Zenefits Kerfuffle, part 2: 5 Lessons for HR Technology Customers and Vendors” from HR Tech analyst and go-to market expert George LaRocque.  A great point was shared which continues to stick with me today:   “Look for vendors that support their integrations like a product – not a service.”   Sound Advice This is sound advice to the HR Technology buyer. Not only because buyers don't want what happened to Zenefits customers to happen to them, but also to consider these 5 reasons partner-built integrations are a sound investment   Technology Stack - A supported partner integration has been built with both parties being involved.  This means their technology stack has been understood by both sides, and the integration is working within the boundaries of their…

Dovetail Launches Certified Workday Integration to Assist HR in Tracking Daily Activities

August 23, 2015 Celebrate! We’re celebrating today, because we are officially a Workday Certified Solution Partner – yes we graduated from the hottest HCM integration university this summer! Commitment Pays Off Two years ago, Dovetail made a commitment with Workday to design, build, and deliver a real time bi-directional integration to help serve the Dovetail and Workday ecosystem, cohesively. It’s a true win-win outcome for both vendor and customers - as anyone with software implementation experience will tell you - getting two technologies integrated together on a project is never easy. One very big pain with custom integrations is accountability – when things go wrong, who is accountable? Is it your internal IT, or perhaps vendor one or vendor two – maybe it’s all three? Which one will own the problem and drive through to resolution, and not just point fingers? Continued Commitment With a…
