The Forrester Wave report evaluated seven human resource management system (HRMS) vendors across 104 criteria, including the vendors' current HRMS offerings, product and technology strategy and vision, strategic alliances and market presence.

"Lawson Strategic Human Capital Management is well-suited to meet the needs of both multinational and midsize enterprises worldwide," said Larry Dunivan, senior vice president of global Human Capital Management products for Lawson. "Our positioning in this report reflects Lawson's strategic approach in delivering the talent management functionality organizations require to drive real business outcomes, as well our deep understanding of the unique HR challenges for the markets we serve."

To evaluate HRMS vendors, Forrester used a combination of three data sources to assess each of the seven vendors' products: vendor surveys, product demos and customer reference calls. Forrester scored each product by each criterion against a consistent scale for all products, using a customizable weighting scale. This score was then used to develop the high-level summary of the vendors' product strengths and weaknesses, along with the final evaluation report.

The Lawson Strategic Human Capital Management System is designed to help organizations strategically manage, develop and retain employees and improve the ability to identify and develop top talent and emerging leaders. By identifying and optimizing talent, organizations can be better positioned to maximize employee effectiveness and efficiency, and drive improved profitability.

More than 1,100 companies use Lawson Human Capital Management applications to manage talent, automate administrative HR processes and help HR staff focus on more strategic, value-added employee initiatives. Lawson Human Capital Management applications provide organizations with the information they need to maximize workforce potential, while helping HR leaders contribute to organizational excellence with applications that directly support business operations.
