分析人士对价值80亿美元的SAP-Qualtrics收购交易进行了评估，认为这不会改变游戏规则
文/Ron Miller
今天，SAP首席执行官Bill McDermott因公司周末价值80亿美元的Qualtrics收购案而备受关注。McDermott相信Qualtrics提供的数据可以弥补公司运营数据和客户之间的差距，无论客户在哪里。
Qualtrics的理念是，要理解客户的情绪。McDermott认为，这是该公司客户管理难题的关键部分，它不仅可以推动该公司成为客户体验领域的重要参与者，还可以推动公司的基础云业务。这是因为它提供了一种来自客户的持续反馈的方式，而这种方式很难以其他方式确定。
在这种背景下，他认为这笔交易具有变革性。“通过将这些经验数据与操作相结合，我们可以通过Qualtrics和SAP将其结合起来，这是世界上从未有过的，我从根本上相信它将改变我们今天所知道的这个世界。”
其他密切关注该行业的人则不这么认为。虽然他们喜欢这笔交易，并看到了合并这些数据的潜力，但这可能不是麦克德莫特在花了80亿美元后所希望的游戏规则改变者。
保罗•格林伯格(Paul Greenberg)是56家集团的董事总经理，著有影响深远的CRM书籍《光速下的CRM》(CRM at The Light of Light)。他表示，对该公司来说，这无疑是一笔巨大的收购，但他表示，要挑战市场领导者，需要的不仅仅是一两次收购。格林伯格表示:“这将是一次有益的收购，因为SAP希望继续将公司转向面向客户的方向，但无论如何，这都不是一次决定性的收购。”
客户体验是一个宽泛的术语，它涉及到从细粒度层次上了解客户，预测他们想要什么，了解他们是谁，他们买了什么，以及他们正在寻找什么。这些问题比你想象的要难解决，特别是因为它们涉及到从不同供应商的系统收集数据，这些供应商处理不同的问题。
Adobe和Salesforce等公司已将这作为其主要业务重点。SAP的核心是ERP公司，通过管理财务、采购和人力资源等关键的内部运营系统来收集数据。
Real Story Group创始人兼首席分析师托尼•伯恩(Tony Byrne)表示，他喜欢Qualtrics对SAP的影响，但他不确定它是否像McDermott建议的那样重要。Qualtrics可以让你做一些营销人员肯定想要的更复杂的调查，但它的双重好处是——不像SurveyMonkey和其他公司——Qualtrics在数字化工作场所方面有经验，可以补充SAP的一些人力资源工具。但他补充说，这并不是CEM的核心部分，他的公司的研究发现SAP仍然存在漏洞，尤其是在营销工具和技术方面(MarTech)。
CRM Essentials创始人布伦特•利里(Brent Leary)同意SAP收购了一家不错的公司，尤其是在今年早些时候以24亿美元收购了CallidusCloud之后，但要赶上Salesforce和Adobe还有很长的路要走。Qualtrics的确提供了一个更广泛的客户视角，因为来自后台和前台系统的运营数据。Callidus的收购有助于将洞察力转化为某些以bb为中心的客户体验。但我认为，在B2C体验创建工具方面，可能还需要更多的东西，Adobe和Salesforce等公司正专注于营销/体验云。
McDermott认为，这是否会真正改变游戏规则还有待观察，但我们采访的行业专家认为，这将更多地是一项渐进式举措，有助于推进公司的客户体验计划。如果他们是对的，McDermott可能还没有完成购物。

SAP在调查软件公司Qualtrics上市之前，以80亿美元将其收购
文/Catherine Shu
企业软件巨头SAP今天宣布，已经同意以80亿美元的现金收购Qualtrics，在这家调查研究软件公司上市之前。该交易预计将于2019年上半年完成。Qualtrics 2016年上一轮风险投资基金以25亿美元的估值筹集了1.8亿美元。
在甲骨文于2016年以93亿美元收购Netsuite后，这是有史以来第二大收购SaaS公司。
在电话会议中，SAP首席执行官比尔麦克德莫特说，Qualtrics的IPO已经超额认购，两家公司几个月前就开始讨论了。SAP声称其软件涉及全球77％的交易收入，而Qualtrics的产品包括调查软件，使其9,000名企业用户能够衡量客户情绪和员工敬业度等因素。
McDermott比较了将SAP的运营数据与Qualtrics的客户和用户数据相结合与Facebook收购Instagram的潜在影响。“那些将90年代的科技带入21世纪的传统玩家们刚刚遭受重创。我们已经让市场上的现有参与者绝迹。(SAP的竞争对手包括甲骨文、Salesforce.com、微软和IBM。)
SAP的全球总部位于德国瓦尔多夫，表示已获得70亿欧元（约合79.3亿美元）的融资，用于支付与收购相关的成本和购买价格，其中包括未结算的员工奖金和现金资产负债表。 。
2002年共同创立Qualtrics的Ryan Smith将继续担任首席执行官。收购完成后，该公司将成为SAP云业务集团的一部分，但保留其位于普罗沃，犹他州和西雅图的双重总部，以及自己的品牌和人员。
据Crunchbase称，该公司从投资者（包括Accel，Sequoia和Insight Ventures）筹集了4亿美元的风险投资资金。该公司计划首次以18至21美元的价格出售2050万股股票，这可能有可能达到约4.95亿美元。根据CrunchBase的Alex Wilhelm的说法，这将使其估值在39亿至45亿美元之间。
今年，Qualtrics的收入从9710万$增长了8.5％，在第二季度的1.054亿$的第三季度，根据其IPO申请。它报告第三季度GAAP净收入为490万美元。这比上一季度报告的975,000美元增加，以及去年同期的净利润为470万美元。在2018年的前九个月，Qualtrics的经营现金流增长至5250万美元，而2017年同期则为3610万美元。
在今天的公告中，Qualtrics表示，预计其2018年全年收入将超过4亿美元，预计远期增长率将超过40％，不包括其收购SAP的潜在协同效应。
Qualtrics的主要竞争对手包括9月上市的 SurveyMonkey 。

人力资源科技的发展的几个趋势
文/Pete Tiliakos
员工用户体验的进步
不仅就业市场匮乏技术工人和顶尖人才，人们还注重创新，从根本上重塑人力资源管理人力资本和与员工互动的方式。人力资源应用程序正在以“用户优先”为重点进行开发，因此员工体验正在极大地影响和塑造未来增强的路线图。
人力资源技术供应商始终坚持不懈地努力创建简化，指导和规范的用户体验。人工智能，机器学习，NLP和规范分析已经成为当今人力资源技术的赌注，并推动了用户体验设计和性能的进步。
例子：
SuccessFactors宣布，它打算在短期内将其市场应用程序增加三倍。此外，它还推出了一个新的人力资源社区，该社区以现有的SAP应用中心为基础，提供围绕六个关键领域的互联合作伙伴解决方案：福祉，薪酬公平，实时反馈，无偏见的招聘，预测绩效和内部流动性
即推出名称连通市场，为客户提供招聘，学习管理，员工反馈，身份管理等合作伙伴解决方案，包括Okta（身份管理），Greenhouse（申请人跟踪），CultureAmp（员工反馈）等供应商平台）和Vestwell（401k）。
人才管理技术
毫无疑问，当今许多组织的关键优先事项是在竞争激烈的市场竞争，获取，发展和留住顶尖人才。因此，组织专注于提升人才管理技术，重点是人才获取，绩效管理和学习管理。供应商正在向市场推出更广泛，更有能力的人才管理解决方案以及对其平台和产品的见解。

应用程序市场正在迅速扩大
虽然目前所有现代HCM平台都提供强大的API（集成），可将关键业务应用程序连接到HCM平台并扩展其功能，但对连接解决方案，服务和应用程序的更强大选项的需求非常高。
开放平台方法正在成为HCM提供商的标准，允许客户，合作伙伴和第三方通过市场/ app store式交付系统连接API以供消费。这种开放式方法允许集成大量外部解决方案，扩展HCM平台的功能，允许客户端连接最适合其独特业务需求和用户群的应用程序。

不是每个公司都在使用云端服务
整个星期，我与不同行业的不同规模和复杂的公司进行了交谈。大多数人要么正在将人力资源转移到云端，要么计划在未来12个月内采取行动。
然而，突出的是有多少公司仍然没有转向基于云的人力资源解决方案，或者采用模块化方法（但不是从核心人力资源开始）。例如，我与一些中型和大型企业雇主进行了交谈，他们表示他们已经在他们的环境中部署了基于云的模块组合，最常见的是以人才为中心的模块。当被问及他们对核心人力资源的使用时，响应往往是“一个领先的内部部署平台”。当我问他们为什么没有为核心人力资源或工资单这样做时，回应往往是“我不确定”或“我们打算到达那里......最终。”
这与NelsonHall最近发布的市场分析“ 云与多流程人力资源服务：云与超越之旅”中的调查结果一致，后者显示只有约40％的多流程人力资源服务市场在云环境中运营。这可能归因于客户的担忧，也可归因于供应商解决方案适应增量迁移到云而不是单一转变。例如，SuccessFactors的Upgrade2Sucess以其内部客户群为目标，支持迁移到云，但是当它对业务有意义时。这种模块化方法使客户能够在转型过程中逐步降低风险并实现投资回报率。
人力资源创新不再只是“人力资源公司”
在过去几年中，人力资本管理已成为一个非常有利可图的市场，随着组织变得更加以人才为中心，它似乎只能继续增长。从历史上看，人力资源领域的创新由人力资源供应商和技术提供商本身（例如ADP，Ceridian，Kronos等）提供 - 即直接为人力资源从业者提供服务和解决方案的人员。
然而，随着全球最大，最富有，最有能力的软件公司（如谷歌，Facebook，微软）瞄准，开发和销售人力资本管理解决方案并加强整个行业的竞争，这种情况已经发生了变化。
例子：
Google Hire：G-Suite的人工智能人才获取平台
Facebook的工作场所：支持移动设备的工具，用于工作场所通信，协作，包括群组，聊天和视频通话功能。与人力资源平台集成，包括ADP，Kronos和Paychex Flex
Microsoft Teams：Workplace协作工具，它将聊天，会议，便笺和附件与Office 365和领先的HCM（例如SuccessFactors）集成在一起
Microsoft Dynamics 365：基于云的ERP和CRM解决方案，具有HCM功能，包括Core HR，人才获取和入职。

It truly is a ‘best of both worlds’ kind of place. My work schedule is incredibly busy but also very flexible so that I can fully meet my parental responsibilities to all my kids and still also fully meet my responsibilities to clients and colleagues.

“I think SAP is a great place to work to be a Working Mom. I have been able to reinvent my career a few times here to adjust to the changes in work life needs. My managers have always been very supportive. I was able to take advantage of the maternity leave program, part-time return to work programs, and vacation to care for my newborn. One of the biggest reasons woman leave the workforce is because they cannot balance caring for children and delivering on their career. At SAP, my managers helped me believe that I can do both and give me the support to do both.”

微软计划与企业软件提供商SAP签署云合作协议，联手抗衡亚马逊
在过去几年里，微软和SAP在云领域一直有合作，SAP的企业软件和服务也已经在微软的Azure上实现了运行，它在2014年曾宣布，SAP将有一批企业应用是Azure专有的。今日，微软和SAP的合作又前进了一步，他们宣布将推出新的企业产品。
Azure上的新产品SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud能让客户在微软的云端运行SAP S/4HANA。两家公司承诺，客户能够同时享用两家公司的优势产品，包括Azure智能化、可靠的云端（以及其他云服务），以及SAP的应用管理以及产品经验。微软和SAP声称，可口可乐、好市多以及Columbia Sportswear等大牌公司都是自己的客户，这些客户都非常看好这次新合作，因为它能驱动双方的云战略。
另外，两家公司还宣布，Azure上的S/4HANA将被会被用内部运营。SAP表示它会把数十个企业系统移动到Azure上，包括SAP S/4Hana等。微软表示目前正在革新自己的内部系统，它会把Azure上传统的SAP财务应用换成SAP S/4HANA Central Finance，另外它还想将SAP S/4HANA与Azure的人工智能以及分析服务相连接，这样可以使财务报告更加精准，决策更加高效。
一直以来，微软都在吸引更多软件公司来使用Azure上的产品，并试图挑战亚马逊AWS的地位，和SAP的合作只是这项战略的一部分。亚马逊在这块市场中仍然占据主要地位，它的AWS提供了100多种不同的服务。
