There was a time when HR systems were mostly used to store records. Internal servers stored the files of employees. Many documents were sent over email, and HR teams spent long hours updating spreadsheets across departments that were maintained in different ways. This kind of setup was manageable when companies were smaller, and all employees could work from the same office.
However, the situation has transformed significantly. Today, HR teams are working with employees distributed across various geographies, stricter compliance requirements, and a much larger amount of employee data than they were handling a few years ago. In many organizations, the old systems are still technically running, but they stopped supporting the business properly a long time ago.
