Question: why do I start this HRIS blog by talking about piano ?
Answer: I wanted to choose a blog platform based on fact-based selection criteria. Just like I do for my customers who need support to select an HRIS application.
As I already had a blog on the theme of my piano learning process, with more than 150 posts, I used it as a pilot phase for the selection, and to train myself on the selected platform
