Dive Insight:
The various tools the technology provides HR, and business generally, is immeasurable. Cloud-based software allows the storage of massive bits of information that HR needs to sustain and manage. HR also has access to more big name options these days as well, as companies like Microsoft have begun to recognize the potential business in the space.
