What Is the Definition of an HCM System?

The Human Capital Management (HCM) system is a set of software and processes designed to automate and optimize human resources management within an organization. It is an integrated platform that centralizes, processes, and analyzes personnel data. As a Canadian HCM system provider, SIGMA-HR offers comprehensive solutions that place HR professionals at the core of the company, providing them with a global and detailed view of human resources.

What is the purpose of the HCM system?

Operational Efficiency and Task Automation
By automating repetitive tasks, the HCM system frees up time to focus on value-added activities, thereby increasing operational efficiency within companies.

Data-Driven Decision-Making
With the HCM system, access to reliable and up-to-date data becomes a reality for leaders. This availability enables informed and strategic decision-making regarding personnel management, reinforcing the organizational structure of the company.

Improved Employee Experience

An HCM system significantly improves the employee experience. This system facilitates access to HR information and services, such as the HR portal or the shared HR services centre. It simplifies HR processes for employees while giving them greater autonomy (leave requests, information requests, etc.). In short, the HCM system enhances employee engagement and satisfaction at work.

Compliance and Security: Managing Sensitive Data

In a world where data security is essential, the HCM system proves to be an indispensable tool. It helps companies stay compliant with laws, such as Law 25 and PIPEDA in Canada or GDPR in Europe and ensures secure management of sensitive data.

What are the types of HCM systems available?

There are primarily two main types of HCM systems. SIGMA-HR’s solution is deployed in SaaS mode.

Cloud-based HCM (SaaS)

  • Hosted on the provider's servers and accessible online.
  • Fewer maintenance concerns, automatic updates.
  • Subscription model typically based on the number of users.

On-Premise HCM

  • Hosted locally on the company's servers.
  • Total control over security and customization.
  • Often requires a dedicated IT team for maintenance and updates.

  • Ease of use: The HCM system should be intuitive and user-friendly for all users.
  • Customization: Look for a solution that can be customized based on your company's unique processes.
