Visier’s Open for Builders: A Growing Movement to Activate People and Work Data

Visier launched its Open for Builders initiative earlier this year, driven by a commitment to provide a fast, flexible and easy solution for software providers and enterprise companies to blend people and business data to build a range of analytic solutions that help optimize their workforces. This initiative has become nothing short of a movement as customers and partners have recognized the power in building on the Visier platform instead of starting from scratch.

Where organizations may have traditionally embodied a build philosophy, Visier is demonstrating a new way forward that can extend into the entire HR tech ecosystem. With Visier’s People Data Platform, builders have an end-to-end solution to intake data, process it, map it to an extensive, adaptable data model and securely deliver analytics to a wide audience, in a variety of form factors, including a genAI conversational interface.

“The build vs. buy debate has really been a choice organizations have been forced to make between speed and flexibility,” said Dave Weisbeck, chief strategy officer, Visier. “Visier provides the best of both worlds with the most extensive and widely deployed people analytics solutions, plus the people data platform. Visier’s open platform provides the extensibility and flexibility for builders to build net new applications, or to extend existing solutions so that analytics teams and software vendors don’t have to ‘go back to the well’ of their data warehouses for each business question and instead can ‘turn on the tap’ of insights to make data-driven decisions as quickly as the need arises.”

Art of the Possible: Built on Visier

Visier is sparking imagination and providing inspiration to the builders at HR Tech, showcasing solutions from ISVs that embed and resell Visier capabilities; SI partners that build custom solutions to global clients; and Visier customers that customize and extend their own instance of the Visier People Data Platform.

2024 Developer Community Hackathon

To spark additional creativity, Visier is launching the 2024 Developer Community Hackathon at HR Tech to encourage innovation on the Visier People Data Platform. With the theme of “Extend and Enhance,” builders along the technical spectrum are encouraged to expand the pre-built analytical model with different concepts of work like productivity, finance, or logistics, to help executives and managers be more adaptive in leading their teams with the help of genAI.

“Delivering insights that impact the business means bringing people and work data together, but I’ve seen many projects with great potential stall out trying to manage data complexity,” added Weisbeck. “The People Data Platform is an answer to those data problems. It’s a unique end-to-end solution that makes it quick to process data, map to a robust genAI ready data model, and deliver accessible insights to the right audiences whether in the enterprise or a multi-tenant application. Compared to every other solution, it dramatically reduces the patchwork of data infrastructure and delivers speed, lower overhead, faster time to value for genAI, analytics and reporting use cases.”
