What a CIO Wants HR to Know Before Buying an AI HRMS | Devendra Pratap Singh, AG&P

What is a CIO doing in a room full of HR leaders? Quite a lot, it turns out. At PMAP's 70th anniversary, HONO sat down with Devendra Pratap Singh, Chief Information Officer of Atlantic, Gulf & Pacific Company (AG&P), a 125+ year old EPC company working in oil & gas and construction across 5+ countries. They talked about where HR technology is going and what HR teams should get right before they choose their next AI-enabled HRMS. In this conversation: → What a "headless, Zero UI" HRMS is: no screens to navigate, you just ask. It works inside MS Teams, Slack or your own chatbot. → Why HR tech has to go beyond digitising and automating, to orchestrating both people and the business → The move from a Human Resource Information System to a Human Resource Intelligence System, and from a system of record to a system of action → The 3 things a CIO wants HR to get right before buying an AI HRMS: rethink your policies and processes, clean your data, and put cybersecurity first → Why HR has to stop being seen as a cost centre and become a business enabler "AI can predict and detect, but humans decide and execute. Keep the human in the lead." — Devendra Pratap Singh The session also introduces ERA by HONO, the world's first headless, Zero UI HRMS. It is now live with HONO customers. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Intro: HONO × PMAP 70th anniversary 0:55 Meet Devendra Pratap Singh, CIO of AG&P 1:23 Why is a CIO talking to HR leaders? 2:21 What is a headless, Zero UI HRMS? 4:10 Why HRMS is the hardest system to implement 4:48 From automation to manpower and business orchestration 6:25 3 things HR should check before choosing an AI HRMS 8:46 The hardest part of an HR tech rollout 9:35 Parting thought: keep humans in the lead 10:44 AI analyses, humans approve, AI executes 11:47 ERA by HONO: the world's first headless, Zero UI HRMS 🔗 Learn more about HONO: https://hono.ai #HRTech #AIinHR #HRMS #ZeroUI #FutureOfWork #PMAP #HONO #HRLeadership
