Rippling’s all-in-one HCM: a viable solution to the portfolio approach

At Rippling, we’re proud to offer an all-in-one Human Capital Management Suite, with a product breadth and depth of point solutions that allows administrators to automate every step of the employee lifecycle, in a single platform. 

“HR technology leaders have long faced the challenge of balancing depth and breadth of capabilities, resulting in a complex and often fragmented portfolio for more than 50% of organizations,” said Gartner® in their latest Human Capital Management Software Forecast Analysis (Report accessible to Gartner subscribers only), citing a 2023 survey of HR technology priorities.

Rippling’s all-in-one approach

With Rippling, you won't face this dilemma. Our platform eliminates the need to stitch together disparate systems, providing everything you need in one place, without sacrificing depth of functionality. 

This is because Rippling builds products on a single source of truth for all the business data related to employees. We call this the employee graph, and it provides the foundation for Rippling and everything that’s built on top of it. On top of the employee graph, Rippling’s powerful platform unlocks five key capabilities—analytics, automation, permissions, policies, and integrations—that power everything that happens across Rippling. Because of this shared platform serving as the foundation, we are able to build a truly unified system.Unlike many so-called “all-in-one” platforms, Rippling’s software isn’t cobbled together  from acquired systems. Everything is built in-house, using the employee graph to automate work and generate insights across all functions, from HR, to payroll, spend, and IT.

What buyers are looking for

As stated by Gartner, “Multiyear HR transformation initiatives will drive substantial investments in HCM software over the forecast period (through 2028) as organizations continue to focus investments on HR technology, learning and development, total rewards, and talent management.” 

Gartner notes that “Investments from small and midsize enterprises into HCM cloud transformation and migration toward suite-centric portfolios will also contribute to investments in the market.” Gartner also adds that “organizations are compelled to transition to modern HCM suites that offer enhanced capabilities, scalability and compliance features.”

Rippling offers advanced solutions that address all of the above, from financial and legal  compliance across the globe to enterprise solutions that scale as companies grow. 

A single source of truth yielding a significant advantage

Kathi Enderes, Senior Vice President of Research and Global Industry Analyst at The Josh Bersin Company, explains there are “significant advantages” in going with Rippling’s all-in-one approach as opposed to a portfolio of tools.

“It creates a single source of truth for employee information, automating processes across HR, payroll, benefits, and compliance, which in turn reduces administrative work and errors. This integration enhances operational efficiency, ensures compliance by automatically flagging potential issues, and supports scalability for global teams.”

Rippling’s mission is to free smart people to work on hard problems and we believe our all-in-one platform approach contributes to this goal. According to Enderes, “Rippling helps transform workforce management into a cohesive, adaptable experience that streamlines operations and reduces costs.”
