Yesterday, my good friend Trish McFarlane was lamenting the poor state of HR Technology understanding amongst practitioners
Why is #HR technology the weakest area for practitioners? Any ideas #hrevolution ? #hcmworld

I noted a few reasons:
@TrishMcFarlane little to no good books on HRTech; rarely part of any curriculum; not emphasized in certification #HRevolution #HCMWorld

Trish concurred and made a compelling point:
#HCMWorld @akaBruno HR technology should be mandatory in college #hr programs so they are ready for the new role of HR in orgs.

A 2013 SHRM Survey of 372 HR faculty (out of 1,723 invited to participate) backed this up, with 61% of faculty citing Human Resource Information Systems was a perceived deficiency in HR training offered to undergraduate HR students (Risk Management, and Mergers and Acquisitions were the 2nd and 3rd cited deficiencies).
However, a quick search of "HR Technology" on Amazon or the SHRM Bookstore provides, at best, a cursory or superficial look at the subject.
Given this background, what, ideally, would you see as a critical item or subject in a book on HR Technology? Do you feel there is a quality book out there that I am missing? Chime in.
