The key points of the article were how technology can greatly improve the process of job evaluations but that it has been largely overlooked for that function of Human Resources. Of those companies who do integrate software for the JE process, very few are truly computer enabled which harnesses the real power of technology in storing data, analyzing it$,$ and returning useful results. The challenge lies in existing systems that are popular but not as effective as they could be and the risk of creating a more tailored solution.

This topic is relevant to human resource management and strategic compensation because an online job evaluation system could quickly return accurate results, reduce turn around time, increase employee buy$-$in$,$ and provide a storage system for previous JE data. This could result in significant cost savings, increased efficiency in the JE process, and more accurate data extraction. According to the author Martocchio, job evaluation is important to HR managers who use this process to define a specific job, its required duties, and the appropriate rate of pay $(2017).$
