Question 3: Somewhere between the big ERPs and the niche solutions vendors, there is a growing field of "suite players". These vendors offer several, often integrated components of the Talent management technology landscape (assessment, sourcing, ATS, PMS, onboarding, etc.)

• Is this where the niche market as a whole is heading? Do the suites offer tools that, on their own, are as robust as the single solution providers?

• Why might an organization want to consider a suite player (even if they're only interested in one application for the time being)?
