Members can Leverage the Value of Proprietary HCM Data – Unbiased, Timely, and Relevant – to Fit their Specific Needs with DataNow™

Sep. 30, 2014Delray Beach, FL – Brandon Hall Group today released DataNow™, a tool that gives users direct access to proprietary, primary research data that can be filtered by market size, revenue, geography and high-performing organizations.

“DataNow™ is the future of Human Capital Management research,” Brandon Hall Group CEO Mike Cooke said. “Organizations – both corporate and solution providers – no longer need to rely on outdated information that is fed to them only through analyst reports. Now they can access timely, relevant data themselves, customize it, benchmark it against their own metrics, share it – and still get our reports and advice and guidance from our team of analysts.”

DataNow™, which will be available at the highest of the three Brandon Hall Group membership levels, will soon feature more than 125,000 data points from research studies in all of the research/analyst firm’s HCM practices.

“The best thing about DataNow™ is that this is only the beginning,” said Claude Werder, Vice President of Corporate and Product Development. “We will be adding new research to DataNow™ regularly – as soon as a research study is closed and the data cleaned. This is validated, market-tested information that members can access themselves and leverage as they see fit. We will be adding functionality on a regular basis. New versions are already in production.”

•    Access to Brandon Hall Group’s proprietary and primary research data.
•    Timely, relevant HCM data, filtered by market size, revenue, geography and high- performing organizations in Learning & Development, Talent Management, Leadership Development, Talent Acquisition and HR/Workforce Management.
