How do I make a business case for new HR software?

Building a solid business case for investing in new HR technology will be fundamental to its success. Depending on your business size, your project team will likely include multiple stakeholders across different departments from IT, HR and Procurement for example.

The critical parts to a business case for new HR software will include how the new technology will integrate with your other business systems and how you plan to measure the return on investment (ROI).

Other considerations for your business case could include:

  • Gathering the problems and challenges you currently face, whether that’s a poor user experience or lack of employee self-serve functionality, along with the quantitative and qualitative data from your existing HR system and experiences to back up these issues.
  • The risks of not upgrading your HR software – declining retention rates or data errors for example
  • The opportunities of upgrading your HR software – will it give you the ability to track, manage or influence aspects of your employee experience that you can’t right now?
