Major Factors Driving the Growth of Employee Background Check Software Market:
The employee background check software market is growing due to increasing demands for secure hiring processes and regulatory compliance, especially in industries such as finance, healthcare, and IT. As companies look to reduce risks associated with fraud, legal liabilities, and workplace safety, background checks are becoming a critical part of recruitment processes.

TRENDS INFLUENCING THE GROWTH OF THE GLOBAL EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECK SOFTWARE MARKET:
Cloud-based background check software is gaining traction due to its scalability, remote access, and cost-effectiveness. With cloud-based systems, businesses can streamline their hiring processes, particularly when operating across multiple locations. The ability to access data and conduct checks in real-time is highly valuable for organizations managing large workforces or remote employees. The flexibility and lower upfront investment of cloud-based solutions make them popular among businesses seeking efficient and adaptable systems for their recruitment processes.
On-premises solutions remain important for organizations with strict security and data control requirements, such as those in government, defense, or finance. These companies often need complete ownership of their data, which on-premises software offers, reducing the risk of external breaches. Although it requires significant upfront investment and maintenance, on-premises software provides a high level of customization and security. It’s especially useful for businesses dealing with sensitive information and industries where compliance with local data protection laws is critical.
Large enterprises, particularly those operating in regulated industries like banking and healthcare, are the major adopters of employee background check software. These organizations deal with large volumes of hires, making streamlined background checks essential for compliance and operational efficiency. The ability to integrate background check systems with existing HR tools, such as applicant tracking systems, allows large companies to manage their recruitment processes more effectively. The need for comprehensive and accurate background checks is crucial for mitigating risk and ensuring legal compliance.
The rise in remote working has increased the demand for background check software that allows companies to vet employees regardless of their location. Digital background checks, particularly cloud-based ones, make it easier for organizations to screen remote workers efficiently. This trend is expected to continue as more companies adopt hybrid or fully remote work models, where geographical barriers no longer restrict talent acquisition but require thorough and remote-friendly verification processes.
As regulatory frameworks for employment practices become more stringent globally, businesses are increasingly relying on background check software to ensure compliance. Laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) in the U.S. have made it mandatory for companies to conduct background checks within specific legal parameters. This has led to increased demand for software solutions that can automate these processes while maintaining compliance with regional and international laws.
A major trend in the employee background check software market is the integration of these solutions with human resources management systems (HRMS). Integrating background checks with HR software streamlines the hiring process by consolidating background checks, employee records, and onboarding into one system. This improves operational efficiency for businesses, particularly large enterprises that handle significant recruitment volumes. Integration with HRMS allows for real-time updates, making background screening an even more integral part of the hiring process.

Shang Haifeng from Huawei Cloud: Building a Resilient, Intelligent Hybrid Cloud and Taking an Intelligence Leap

Published

on

shang-haifeng-from-huawei-cloud:-building-a-resilient,-intelligent-hybrid-cloud-and-taking-an-intelligence-leap

SHANGHAI, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Hybrid Cloud Infra Forum 2024, with the theme, “Dive into Cloud and Leap to a New Horizon”, convened at HUAWEI CONNECT 2024 today. At the event, Shang Haifeng, CEO of Huawei Mainframe Modernization BU and President of Huawei Hybrid Cloud, announced the launch of Huawei Cloud Stack 8.5. The new version introduces a new solution, Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution, and includes more use cases for Hybrid Cloud for Large AI Models.

Jacqueline Shi, President of Huawei Cloud Global Marketing and Sales Service, stated in her opening speech: “Thanks to the strong support from our customers, Huawei Cloud’s hybrid cloud business has been continuously expanding in the global market. An increasing number of customers from sectors, such as government, finance, education, healthcare, transportation, mining, and power have joined forces with Huawei Cloud to drive innovation. Huawei Cloud Stack synchronizes a wide array of services from the Huawei public cloud and can be deployed on-premises, breaking through technological barriers and meeting customer demands. With leading technologies, a mature platform, and a robust local ecosystem, we provide our customers with cutting-edge, scenario-specific solutions. Looking ahead, Huawei Cloud looks forward to continuing our collaboration with customers to develop superior hybrid cloud solutions and embark on the digital transformation journey together.”
Today, hybrid cloud has become the preferred foundation for digital transformation of government organizations and large enterprises. Huawei Cloud has been continuously investing in R&D, committed to providing government and enterprise customers with a sustainable and optimal hybrid cloud foundation.
Shang Haifeng said: “Cloud transformation of core systems and intelligent production have become the twin pillars for government and enterprise customers diving into cloud. Huawei Cloud Stack will innovate in resilience and intelligence, elevating the hybrid cloud to a new horizon and helping customers move faster to take a smart, digital leap.”
A New Horizon of Resilience: Creating a New Mainframe-to-Cloud Benchmark
As industries have been accelerating cloud adoption, the migration of core systems to the cloud represents the final piece of the all-cloud puzzle. It is a gateway to comprehensive intelligence. However, this migration poses many challenges, spanning hardware, software, security, O&M, optimization, and tools. It is an end-to-end comprehensive project that requires software-hardware synergy.
This year, Huawei established a Mainframe Modernization BU, consolidating core R&D strengths across compute, storage, network, cloud, and the Central Research Institute to drive systematic innovation. This initiative aims to fully exploit the power of software-hardware synergy to overcome the world-class challenge of mainframe migration to cloud. They have been persistent in developing an independent and innovative technology system to ensure an ongoing supply of core technologies. The team has been stepping up efforts to develop comprehensive system engineering capabilities, from infrastructure and implementation processes to O&M, aiming to establish new core systems on the cloud.
The Mainframe-to-Cloud Solution from Huawei provides comprehensive disaster recovery (DR) for all scenarios, supports modular application deployment, and enables multi-site multi-active DR, satisfying a spectrum of availability requirements. It supports hardware fault detection in seconds, which makes O&M for large-scale clusters more efficient. The application-centric end-to-end visibility speeds up fault identification and troubleshooting. Seamless cloud OS upgrades enable the parallel upgrade of hundreds of nodes without VM migration, and without any service interruptions.
Huawei maximizes the synergy between software and hardware. Hardware NIC virtualization passthrough and the multi-core lock-free design reduce the latency of a single forward for load balancing by 83% and increase the forwarding bandwidth of a single cluster to 400 Gbit/s. Passthrough networking simplifies the network from two layers to just one, which reduces latency by 40%. Moreover, the fusion of the RoCE network and NoF+ protocol slashes end-to-end storage latency by 50%. All of these enable unparalleled performance and superior experiences.
In terms of security, GaussDB, a fully-encrypted database, and Kunpeng Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) safeguard against data breaches and minimize performance degradation, keeping it within 20%.
Shang Haifeng expressed that Huawei aspires to set new trustworthiness standards for mainframe-to-cloud migration through innovation in foundational technologies and experience consolidation. Huawei aims to take the resilience of core systems to a new horizon and provide a better choice for the world.
