Overall Satisfaction with Oracle eBusiness Suite

Our organization supports and maintains Oracle eBusiness Suite applications, databases and hardware. My external customer in HR department maintains HR records, assignment activities and performs payroll functions using eBusiness Suite. Oracle eBusiness Suite provides my customer a solution to address HR activities, job assignments, record keeping, bi-monthly payroll calculation and mandatory Federal & State reporting.
  • Oracle EBS HR/Payroll module is a timeline based application that allows retro entry and edits, it fits true HR department use cases.
  • Payroll functions are robust where it captures details for earning and deductions and offers flexibility of customizing how each earning and deduction should behave through formulas and rules.
  • Application interface design, I felt it was built from a technical perspective. Interface content should shift focus to user-friendly design where titles, options, and settings should be more intuitive.
  • For an organization that uses Oracle EBS for over 15 years, it sufficiently provides functions for HR and Payroll to complete its business needs and allows an area of technical flexibility to adapt to future requirements.
  • Relying on Oracle EBS for years ties down an organization's options to explore other solutions.
Based off my experience of Oracle EBS HR/Payroll module, I believe it is well suited for an organization that has straightforward HR activities and HR payroll rules Oracle EBS would be ideal, for an organization with low employment turn-over rate and primarily full-time salaried position. It is less appropriate for an organization that has high turn-over rate and requires detailed work hour tracking or late entries. But maybe this is just the small scope of EBS that I have worked with and it may still work well in combination with other EBS modules.
