Five hidden costs when moving to a hosted HR solution

Most Australian HR vendors now offer a hosted version of their traditional on-premise solutions. This means the infrastructure your HR system runs on (the hardware and underlying software components) are managed by the vendor. This frees you up from having specialised IT staff to manage the technical components of the system to ensure it keeps running.

Moving to a hosted model (or ‘cloud’) for your HR software, even if it’s not SaaS can offer significant benefits – but make sure you understand some of the potential hidden costs.
