Knowledge Infusion Takes Next Step

Human Resource Executive Online

...KI has long been a Workday consulting and advisory partner; new owner Appirio, an implementation partner. Together they will have strategy and technology covered in The Cloud. Vendor agnostic to the end, KI has recently become a deployment partner for SuccessFactors and Salesforce.com's Work.com, as well.

Says Corsello, once KI's No. 3, "What made KI unique is that they got to know their clients' business and help build their HR and talent management strategy from there. Most others just focus on the technology. Appirio has quickly become the Accenture of the Cloud world and, by all indications, appears to be a great match."

KI plans to expand its brief under Appirio with Heidi building a people-centric, work-centric practice across the other corporate domains besides HR, including marketing and customer relationship management (CRM).
