> What to call HR Technology implementations to increase odds of Success

I feel a change is in order with respect to how HR technology implementations are labeled, marketed and positioned within organizations. Whether we want to admit it or not, many HR technology implementations do not live up to expectations - either in terms of empirically measured ROI, or anecdotally reported perceptions of the new system or module.

> 10 Steps to Successful Sales - Summary
