Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used across the organization, a recent merger to a bigger organization will enhance the user count manifolds. Payroll, Base Benefits, and Human Resources are the primary modules that are in use. We have multiple integrations with Taleo, ADI, and other external applications. Our platform is on Oracle Cloud. This is a new implementation and we are seeing a massive performance gain.

Pros and Cons

Employee Payroll is divided into weekly and monthly, and we have different employees such as contingent worker and temps. All these are properly and tactfully handled by Position Management.
We keep our system up to date with latest tax update versions. Our payroll is smooth flawless since the introduction of Payroll for NA.
Base benefits allow proper maintenance of employee and dependent health benefits as well as vacation and leave accruals.

There is not much self-correcting ability in BAS Benefits, if Ben Admin can be more robust and informative it can help operation smoothen further.
COBOLS can be a concern and at times depends on running certain DMS, a clearer instruction can help admins and developers to troubleshoot. At times we need to spend hours in MOS to find the proper documents. If all these docs are combined in an ordered way it could become a one-stop point for troubleshooting.
