In this whitepaper, we will discuss the emergence of a new category of HR and workforce productivity software, the employee experience platform (EXP). The EXP provides middleware connectivity, case management, process management, and knowledge management to help companies give their employees a single place to manage work-related tasks, HR requirements, and job transitions. Grown out of the case management and employee portal market, EXPs shield employees from complex and heterogeneous backend systems and give employees a single place to go for a wide range of services.
