Do a Google Search on HRIS and over 2,700,000 sites are listed. Now try HRIS systems and you will find almost 15 million sites listed.

Are there really this many HRIS companies on the market? No,How Many North American HRIS/HRMS Vendors Are There? Articles you have to think about Google, Yahoo, MSN or others search the web to rank these “HRIS” web sites. These HRIS company listings could be based on articles or single keywords offered in the site text. Many HRIS companies could be offering the exact same HRIS software products. There are companies on the market who sell their systems through partners or channels. One of these companies might have a thousand or more sites in your 15 million number list. Google also shows links.  So there are not 15 million HRIS software companies but there are that many web sites associated with the term HRIS system.

When I performed my search, I found around 75 North American based companies who list as either an HRIS vendor or as an HRMS vendor that actually has those products. Since then, I narrowed down that list from 75 HRIS companies to less than 60. The point of all this is that there may be 75 HRIS or HRMS software vendors located in North America but if you decided to look at those with a large number of installs and years in business, the list is more likely around 30 or less. Obviously, you don’t have time to review 15 million sites to find the HRIS vendor or HRMS vendor who offers the application that provides the closest match to your needs. We make this part of your job easier. With our web site, we have added a number of the leading HRIS vendors and HRMS vendors to our site. Our list of HRIS vendor products will continue to grow. If you know of any companies we should add, please let us know.
