Tata Communications today announced the launch of InstaHCM, a human capital management addition to its InstaApps software-as-a-service (SaaS) portfolio. InstaHCM will offered in partnership with SuccessFactors Inc., a company dealing in cloud-based business execution software.
With InstaHCM, Tata Communications and SuccessFactors are aiming to bring India-based enterprise customers a secure and scalable set of business execution software to help align their workforces, execute business strategies, identify high and low performers and increase business productivity, all in the cloud.
InstaHCM’s cloud service launch will make Tata Communications India’s first telecom to offer an SaaS-based human capital management application.
“Talent retention, a productive workforce, business alignment and employee development are key areas of focus for any enterprise. Development and implementation of dedicated HR tools to address these issues is becoming increasingly important for enterprises that want to harness human resource intelligence to empower employees. By providing visibility into these aspects of a company’s business, employees can better collaborate and communicate, significantly improving organisational productivity,” said Sumeet Walia, Tata Communications’ senior India and Asia Pacific vice president.
The pay-per-use InstaHCM service enables businesses to quickly and easily tap into scalable global IT infrastructure via the Internet, without the usual cost and complexities associated with IT provisioning, helping to control operational expenses.
“With the upcoming launch of the InstaHCM cloud service, Tata Communications further strengthens the portfolio of cloud-based services that it offers to enterprises in India, providing world-class business applications and solutions,” Walia said.
“The demand for cloud computing continues to mature and grow and SuccessFactors is one of the leading vendors spearheading global cloud-computing with approximately 15 million subscription seats and more than 3,500 customers. A partnership with Tata Communications is a fantastic opportunity for SuccessFactors to expand its influence amongst leading Indian enterprises,” said Mercedes Ellison, SuccessFactors’ vice president of global alliances and channels.
InstaHCM cloud service will be available in India Dec. 8.
