HR-XML Certification Program

Look for the Logo

“Phase One” Certification Criteria § Solution must be capable of generating and/or consuming a compliant HR-XML document § If you extend, you must use the extension mechanisms specified by the Consortium (exceptions apply to SEP 1. 1, 1. 2 certifications) § Use of specifications must be semantically appropriate § Solution must be commercially available or implemented in trading-partner arrangement (cannot be the results of a mere demo or pilot or hypothetical capability).

“Phase One” Costs / Process § For a limited time only (first 20 certifications), completely FREE for member organizations (Thereafter, $1, 000 for General-level members) § How do you get started? Fill out a simple form describing your solution and how it uses HR-XML specs. § Certification is on a “facts and circumstances” basis. A validation service (http: //testbed. hr-xml. org) is available to support certifiers

Initial Certifications Others in progress…

Why Certify Now? § Get the recognition your company deserves as an early adopter! § Participate in a Hrcertify. org launch promotions (e. g. , press releases, advertising in HR trade magazines). § It will never be easier and less expensive! Completely free for member organizations for first 20 certifications. § Lock-in your certification. Certified companies will be allowed to renew certifications indefinitely regardless of whether new versions of the specification are issued. If you have implemented a spec and haven’t certified, you may lose your ability to certify under the specification should it be superceded by a subsequent version (You have until one-year after the specification has been superceded to certify).

Localization / Internationalization

Localization / Internationalization § Two related, but distinct concepts: • Localization involves accommodations for legal or business-practice requirements unique to a particular country or jurisdiction. • Internationalization involves designing specifications so that they can be re-used broadly across jurisdictions. § The HR-XML Consortium has a clear interest in both. § Localization activities are proceeding in the France; Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. § These local initiatives are creating valuable results. However, we obviously want to avoid creating entirely different, incompatible standards for each jurisdiction.

Japan Model § HR-XML’s recent efforts in setting up a Japanese chapter of the Consortium may provide a useful model for working with a European or country-specific chapters.

Japan Model Key Elements § A separate organization established as appropriate under local law. Funded as appropriate under local law/business practice. § Local chapter would engage local consultants/resources to assist with technical coordination and local promotion of HRXML specifications. § HR-XML and local chapter would exchange intellectual property rights. Local chapter would be granted rights to HRXML name and specifications, HR-XML would be granted rights to derivative works by local chapters. § Wherever possible, requirements and work of local group are used to strengthen the core HR-XML specifications. Coordination accomplished via shared mailing lists, regular reports at HR-XML quarterly meetings, etc.

Applicable to Europe? § Is there value in a European chapter to help facilitate and coordinate the growing number of European HRXML localization initiatives? § How might dedicated European technical and business development resources be useful in the development and promotion of HR-XML specifications in Europe? § How might we change our practices going forward to better support the growing amount of HR-XML adoption and localization efforts in Europe?
