Where Technology is Taking PEOs, and Vice Versa
The PEO industry and technology have both had amazing journeys of development and innovation over the last three and a half decades. Much PEO progress is directly tied to technological advancements. As the PEO industry matured and grew, technology became more and more a part of the PEO operation. Today, technology is not only essential for PEO internal workings, but has also become an important benefit for clients and worksite employees.
This feature provides a picture of where technology stands with the industry right now. The PEO’s technological framework is the foundation that serves as the company’s infrastructure, supporting all of the software and applications that allow the PEO to run. To make the most of their technology, PEOs should stay up-to-date with patches, software updates, and hardware refreshes and upgrades.
Technology roadmapping helps the PEO execute on its strategic goals. It creates a path from your human capital management system to the products and services needed to serve clients, as well as your “secret sauce,” which makes your PEO unique.
While Software as a Service (SaaS) has been around for a while, the technology continues to evolve and spinoffs frequently emerge. This complicates the questions of when to migrate from on-premises to SaaS, how it fits your organization, what investments are needed, how to make the transition, and how security is handled.
Nothing exemplifies the joint journey of the PEO industry and the technology industry like this month’s PEO innovator. This PEO started in the early 1980s and grew and developed along with technology. The company embraced the various iterations of “cutting-edge” technology, took novel approaches to problems, leveraged innovation, and came out in an unexpected, but good, place.
