Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Cloud HCM
We are an Oracle HR implementor and we have
been selling and implementing the product for a few years. We are currently
implementing at a small county in California that has less that 500 employees.
We are implementing this across the entire organization. Currently they are
paper based and this will get their entire organization on a cloud based
application that will allow them to be more agile and make better decisions
using data from their system. We are also integrating with NEOGOV which is an
applicant system that many public jurisdictions use. We are also helping them
convert from a monthly payroll to a bi-weekly payroll with electronic
timecards. Currently they are completely paper based for their timecards and
payroll systems. This upgrade will allow them to minimize the timecard changes
associated with a monthly payroll. They will also now have their entire
employee record digitally.

- Onboarding - allows you to interact with your new employees before they are officially working. Allows you to set up access to portal where they can get information prior to starting.
- Payroll - Simplifies payroll process, which includes tax updates and IRS reporting. All processing is run in the cloud which makes the calcs faster and reduces payroll processing time
- Built on Oracle best practices where the company needs to determine why they cannot use industry best practices so 80% of your processes use industry best practices and 20% need some changes.
- Is all configuration based using industry best practices so there isn't any expensive support charges to manage customizations.
- Government entities share data readily on applicants and HCM doesn't make it easy to have applications transferred between organizations. If applicants could apply once and send that application to multiple entities that would really make it more appealing to clients. This is a niche that is currently filled with NEOGOV, however Oracle's analytics are far superior to those in NEOGOV
- There are no customizations allowed so clients need to work within the configuration standards or create a bolt on. Many times your greatest asset is also one of your biggest weaknesses.
- Oracle is a large company and sometimes it can be hard to navigate the support matrix that they have set up. They also have tiers of support so you can pay more to get more, which isn't optimal from a customer point of view.
I believe it's a superior produce because Oracle has designed it from the ground up with best practices in mind. They removed the ability to customize the product and taken away the need to do tools and application upgrades. They have also mimimized the need for heavy DBA resources as well as developer resources. This also pushes our clients to use best practices as the ability to customize isn't there and it gets costly to add bolt ons to the cloud system.
