Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Myriha Burce; The last year and a half has revealed that the hiring industry and the systems that support the exchange of human capital are simply not built with a digital lens in mind.  In 2021, despite calls for and efforts towards digital transformation for several years, many companies’ hiring operations are still burdened with systems that make daily tasks complicated and the candidate experience cumbersome:  Systems that don’t talk: Multiple disparate, disconnected systems become difficult for recruiters to manage, too complex for candidates to easily navigate, and can result in compromised data. Systems ... Read More

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Will Davis; When studying how hundreds of our clients have shifted their automation strategy during the pandemic, we found that HR teams are automating a variety of their processes now more than ever. Recruitment automations have seen the biggest rise—at a whopping 547%—, but we’ve also seen automations across a number of other areas more than double. Our research (which we’ve packaged up as part of our W*ork Automation Index) also yielded another interesting insight: organizations use a collaboration app like Microsoft Teams in 20% of their workflow automations. Taken together, these insights beg ... Read More

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; When it comes to managing customer data, financial data, and other key business information, your CRM and ERP tools are indispensable. This is exemplified by the fact that over 90% of organizations with 11 or more employees use a CRM; and it explains why the market for ERP systems is projected to exceed $49.5 billion dollars in just a few years. But to make full use of both platforms and to ensure that your most critical business processes operate effectively, you’ll need to integrate the two technologies.  We’ll break down why that ...

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; Organizations of all shapes and sizes can benefit from an applicant tracking system (ATS). It’s where candidate information gets added and changed; it’s where recruiters and hiring managers can align on the status of a candidate; it’s where key hiring metrics get tracked—and so much more. Its value extends even further once it’s integrated with the other apps your team uses to manage candidates and new hires. When integrated, everyone involved—recruiters, hiring managers, candidates—benefits and your organization can scale more efficiently. We’ll show you why that is by breaking down a few ... Read More

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; The market size for the CRM space is projected to increase from roughly 58 to 129 billion dollars from 2021 to 2028. While the growth rate might seem staggering when taken at face value, it makes sense when you look at the value provided by the platform. A customer relationship management platform helps sales reps engage in effective prospecting; it empowers customer success managers to support and delight clients; it allows your customer-facing colleagues to collaborate and stay aligned—and so much more. These benefits are magnified once you’ve integrated your CRM system ... Read More

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; When comparing data management and data governance, all kinds of questions emerge.  Which is more important? How, exactly, are they different? Do they complement each other? In reality, the two concepts can have different definitions, depending on who you ask. This muddles the answers to these questions and it only adds to our general confusion.  We’ll give you a clearer understanding of data management and data governance and break down their differences by anchoring our knowledge in the most important measure: how both generally play out in the real world. What is ... Read More

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; The pandemic has had a profound impact on the way organizations approach and implement their automations. Priorities have shifted. Specific automations have surged. And individual teams have gone on to more fully embrace automation relative to their peers. How do we know?  We compared the automations that roughly 700 of our clients (which we anonymized) implemented over two time periods: April, 2019—March, 2020 and April, 2020—March, 2021. We also went on to look at the job titles of the employees who were involved in building the automations, allowing us to assess IT’s ... Read More

So what does this ranking mean for Workato and the enterprise automation space as a whole?

Feed: The Connector by Workato. Author: Jon Gitlin; In May of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, our Business Technology team in Singapore set out to tackle the lofty goal of bringing employees back into the office without compromising their health. This naturally came with a variety of challenges. Office capacity needed to be strictly managed; contact tracing protocols needed to be established; and employees needed to be educated on both their government’s regulations and the guidelines our team put into place. To help meet these challenges, the BT team developed and launched “Office Bot” for employees in the ... Read More
