Vendor-hosted communities primarily offer official documentation, standardized training, issue escalation processes, and corporate communications. In contrast, SAI provides: Live events facilitated by experienced practitioners Moderation by paid consultants with both process and technical expertise A platform built specifically for social sharing A vendor-neutral environment, allowing members to communicate more openly without sales pressure A focus on advancing the HR operations profession as a whole, covering topics beyond just specific products, including discussions about various HR technologies In essence, the difference is theoretical versus practical knowledge. While vendor sites focus on how their specific product should be used, SAI offers a broader perspective. It helps you understand how companies are actually implementing and using a wide range of HR tools and technologies in real-world scenarios, spanning multiple products and vendors across the HR technology landscape.

Our approach is balanced and transparent: 1. Product Showcasing: We regularly evaluate HR tech solutions and feature high-quality products on our platform, considering both the technology and the support team. 2. Customer Recommendations: When we make specific product recommendations to customers, we do not accept any referral revenue. 3. Technical Demos: We host in-depth, no-fluff technical demos to expand members' familiarity with a wide variety of solutions. For these, we charge a fee to the vendors and may receive referral revenue if a company independently decides to proceed with a solution after attending a demo. 4. Ethical Standards: We maintain strict ethical standards. We never accept payment to recommend a specific product purchase to our clients. Our goal is to provide unbiased, valuable information to our community while maintaining integrity in our business practices.

Companies interested in having multiple staff participate in SAI will need to purchase separate licenses. Multiple licenses are included with our corporate membership tiers.

We have two courses scheduled for release later this year. In Q3, we plan to release "iCIMS Dashboard Reporting from A to Z", which will go through our unique methodology for configuring iCIMS dashboards to drive maximum user adoption. Additionally, in Q4 we plan to release "HR System Administration 101", an introductory course covering essential skills for HR system administrators. Topics include change management, increasing user adoption, managing stakeholders, data governance, resolving conflicts, collaborating with IT teams, and more best practices for effective system administration. Both courses will include office hours for discussing course content.
