Massive Florida government HR outsourcing project

“……thousands of Florida employees currently write their timesheets by hand. Being able to transfer these activities to the web will make the process more efficient – and cheaper.”

An absolutely massive HR/e-government project in Florida, written up in Human Resources Magazine. (The site requires registration in order to read the article.)

The project is a good example of how government is realizing the business strategies available when technology can help to effectively re-engineer the civil service. It is also closely related to the trend in which business and government organizations are outsourcing much more than IT departments — we are now seeing entire departments such as HR, accounts payable, inventory management or other departments being outsourced.

A good read for anyone interested in e-government; the integration of human resources to the Web, and outsourcing.
