Oracle HCM Cloud Valuable Features

OswinSteve - PeerSpot reviewer
Lead Digital HR Transformation, Product Owner at Chubb

The biggest benefit is the platform itself. It's strong. We can bring in data from all countries onto one platform, giving me access to any employee's data regardless of location. 

We haven't fully utilized it yet, but it's powerful. For example, I can easily understand total employee benefits globally, something I couldn't do before. It helps me understand the value we deliver to employees through benefits and monetary trends. We can stack all this information in one place, making it very helpful for database analysis.

It also helps with understanding context. How many employees do we have, in which areas, and what's our attrition rate? Why are we losing people? We just went live with the Recruiting module, and though it needs time to fully utilize, it will help us track lead times, identify talent gaps, and find the best sources for specific skills. We can then report this data out of Oracle itself.

Finally, Oracle HCM has a great reporting platform, OTPI, with drag-and-drop functionality. I can design my own reports without relying on the technical team. This empowers HR users to create reports based on their needs, which is a huge advantage.

What our customers like about it: Oracle provides HCM solutions in a software-as-a-service infrastructure. It's not an on-prem solution. It's an Oracle-hosted cloud system. 

So, once a customer subscribes to one of Oracle's HCM solutions, it's hosted by Oracle, and Oracle handles all the managerial functions and the system management functions of the product. 

The customer does not need to invest in infrastructure and the hardware site. It Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution. The customer only focuses on the processes and the functionalities of the system. And what Oracle provides to the customers within that subscription. 

And because it's a host of systems and is provided as a software-as-a-service (SaaS), Oracle carries on all the upgrades new functionalities, and new modules within the current subscription of the system. There are four upgrades. There are four increments within a year. In these four increments, Oracle gives all the product changes and the multifunctional gift free of charge because it's a matter of the subscription itself.

So it doesn't require any maintenance. All the maintenance is provided by Oracle.

The most important function is definitely managing the employee and employer staff system. This module allows the company to see information about its own employees. It's crucial for our organization, along with talent management. 

Our organization conducts equipment drives every three months, so talent management is also quite important for us.

HCM Analytics has the potential to be a very valuable module. Because Oracle HCM Cloud offers prebuilt KPIs in HCM Analytics.

Oracle have been spending a lot of time developing the HCM Cloud product, and it's now a full-featured product set as far as I'm concerned. It covers the core lifecycle of an employee, all the way through from hiring somebody, managing their employment during their time with the organization, all the way through to terminations at the end. Absences are managed, time and labor is there to manage people's working time. It's a fairly full-feature function set.

Compared to earlier, older versions, HCM Cloud has built-in business intelligence and reporting capabilities, and not just transactional. In other words, it provides actual analytic capabilities that are pretty good. Insofar as specific functionalities go, it has on the accounts tables side built-in document image capturing tools. There's no need to rely on third-party products anymore.

I also found the Oracle library to be helpful.

SaaS solution that reduces cost of ownership and maintenance

Offers free upgrades with the latest features and add-on capabilities for modules that we require

Oracle provides two upgrades for their cloud HCM solution each year. These upgrades include enhancements to existing functionality, new functionality, or introducing new modules that can manage business processes more efficiently.

For example, at the initial stage, we got core HCM modules that were helpful in managing employees and organizational details.

With subsequent free upgrades, we got the ability to use social connects like chats, group discussions, and online meetings.

With further upgrades, we kept on getting enhanced user experience with revised UI, mobile applications, and iPad-dedicated applications.

These upgrades are part of our service agreement. As long as we keep paying subscription fees, we keep on getting these upgrades for free.

Our organization covers three states in India and 4 in US. Employees are spread across these regions and need to access HCM system on-the-go. Oracle HCM Cloud offers subscription based services to system that includes web based interface, and mobile and ipad application. A simple net connections and credentials are enough for employees to access system and utilize HCM related services like time sheet, leave or personal information update.

In addition to this, inbuild chat system helps employee keep connected with each other and HR Representatives for day-to-day tasks and follow-ups if required.

The best feature of the product is the middleware where it allows you to create a project and all the required and the optional tasks come pre-configured. So, you don't have to look for, "What do I need to do?" You can follow a step by step from the bottom up or top down approach. You will know that you have done the tasks that you need to do before the whole configuration or the testing process happens.

I am starting the implementation of benefits today of HCM Cloud. I have done EBS, full scale implementation of eight modules on my own for a smaller organization. Another advanced feature is the user interface, it is so smooth. I always say to people that PeopleSoft, is love at first sight, and Oracle EBS is an arranged marriage, because you will learn to love. Whereas, I think Oracle Cloud is also love at first sight, because it does the screens so smooth, things are very accessible.
