Overall Satisfaction with Oracle HCM Cloud (including Taleo)

Oracle HCM Cloud was used by one of our clients for managing human resource responsibilities. Oracle HCM Cloud has discrete and unique HR capabilities. The HCM dashboard which is one of its predominant features was used extensively by the HR department to view critical HR related activities. It gives information to HR departments related to current headcount, open positions to be filled, goals, bonus pool, recruiting information and social media connect Information. The mere business problem of all information related to HR being scattered out generally is all put together and brought into one platform and one dashboard, which helps the decision maker within the HR department to make quick and constructive decisions.
  • Talent Acquisition is one key challenge for any organization to tackle. Oracle HCM pulls all statistics related to talent and puts them across the dashboard for better and quicker decision making by management.
  • Helps improves communications and interactions between the employer and employees and helps HR understand the concerns of employees better through social media collaborations.
  • Compensation to the employees can be better monitored through the Oracle HCM cloud tool and helps HR to have better control over the same.
  • It doesn't support functionalities like learning and recruitment which is necessity in most organizations.
  • Moving on to Oracle HCM Cloud has helped clients save immensely on infrastructure costs.
  • Talent management and workforce management have been moved to Oracle HCM cloud whereas the core HCM functionalities including payroll have been kept in-house for better control and security.
A host of functionalities including the cloud based capabilities along with social engineering capabilities and the organizational requirements and policies, [led] the client to make the decision to move to Oracle HCM Cloud. Also their underlying ERP was based on Oracle E-Business, which helped with the integration with Oracle HCM.
The dashboard features of Oracle HCM Cloud are very well received by customers and extensively helps HR management by having information related to talent acquisition, HR functionalities etc., on their finger tips. This saves considerable amount of efforts and time, as previously one had to collate the information from multiple sources and get it on the table. The social platform of Oracle HCM cloud is one which has helped our client to build a rapport with their employees. One example could be the knowledge sharing platform, wherein the employees now can easily share their innovations/inventions with their colleagues and the team. This information can be easily reused by the other team and also reward recognition becomes easy.
