What APIs could do for you – a primer for HR professionals

Many organisations keep the same data in a multitude of locations, or store different elements of data in disparate, non-connected systems. Employee data, for example, may well exist in your core HR system, your learning management system (LMS), your payroll system, your expenses system, and in your online recruitment system. When an employee joins or leaves your organisation, or when changes occur, their data needs to be updated in many different locations – creating extra work and duplication of data entry across the organisation, and risking data breaches and inaccuracies.
