2016 was a big year for HR tech. At TSC, we’ll remember it as:

• The year the nature of solutions changed to focus on the experience of being an employee — and irreversibly away from simple process automation
• The first year cloud HCM systems beat on-premise deployment
• A year of huge investments in HR tech;in fact, total VC investment in the last two years has surpassed the last 20, and this trend doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon

’Tis the season at The Starr Conspiracy, and while we’re getting our holiday spirit on, we wanted to share some of that yuletide joy with you.
