This is like having a live, detailed skills map of your entire workforce that shows what people can actually do today, what you’ll need tomorrow, and where the gaps are – so you can hire, reskill, or redeploy people based on data instead of gut feel or outdated org charts.
HR and business leaders struggle to plan their future workforce because they lack an accurate, up‑to‑date view of employees’ skills versus the skills the business strategy will require. This leads to misaligned hiring, overstaffing/understaffing, and ineffective learning investments. Skills intelligence organizes and analyzes skills data to support strategic workforce planning, gap analysis, and targeted talent development.
If INOP is using proprietary skills ontologies plus customer-specific skills/HR data and embeds this into workflows for planning, talent management, and L&D, its moat will center on proprietary skills graphs, historical benchmarking data, and switching costs from being the system of record for skills.

Medium (Integration logic)
Maintaining an accurate, up-to-date and normalized skills taxonomy across large, evolving workforces; potential inference latency and cost if LLMs are used heavily for skills extraction from unstructured data.
Early Majority
Focus on skills intelligence specifically for strategic workforce planning (rather than generic HR analytics) and likely use of AI/ML to infer, cluster, and benchmark skills from multiple HR data sources, enabling dynamic gap analysis and scenario planning rather than static headcount planning.
