Since our [announcement of OCI’s evolution to Optis](http://optis.com/blog/introducing-optis-expert-people-data), we’ve been talking a lot about ‘People Data.’ It’s not surprising that we’ve captured the ears of many HR managers with the term, as managing data is on the mind of every HR professional these days.
In our conversations with attendees at HR Tech and HR Southwest, it became apparent that many organizations have attempted to assemble their data into systems that support measurement and analysis. However, there’s a lot of room for improvement. Many questions surrounding people data continue to exist and HR professionals continue to be dissatisfied.
