ABOUT THIS EPISODE
David Wilson has tracked the HR tech market for almost 30 years. He calls the SaaSpocalypse "overblown significantly," but he thinks it's already changing who gets to win.
David is the founder and CEO of Fosway Group, a UK-based HR technology analyst firm. He explains why AI can rebuild features faster than it can rebuild the process data inside HR systems, and why some of the biggest platforms may come to treat HR as a disposable part of the business. For vendors, profitability has stopped being a dirty word.
The conversation covers how buyers are deciding which vendors anchor their AI strategy, and why the new capability keeps coming from specialists. On AI hype, David points to a market where "every vendor is now an AI-first vendor. But the reality, of course, is this is just not true." He also shares what Fosway's research shows about how much AI capability is actually live, and how far behind customers are in using it.
