The Oracle Difference Enabling the New Era of HR Page 03

The New Role of HR HR has a pivotal role to play in the modern organization

Attracting and retaining talent is the number one concern for CEOs as people and skills become critical differentiators in a knowledge-driven economy

Increasingly senior management is looking to HR to develop strategies and tactics for recruiting talented people developing them in line with business objectives and personal career goals and inspiring them to greater heights of success

The ability to identify talent internally is as important as the ability to attract high-caliber external candidates so itrsquos becoming critical to gain transparency across strategic business units

Increasingly HR is being asked to advise senior management on whether the skills needed for a new initiative already exist within the organization and how easily and quickly they can be mobilized to set up a new office overseas operation or manufacturing plant

customization Cloud based deployment options can start delivering value in days or weeks for a fraction of the set up costs of an on premise implementation

But to meet the demands of modern business HR urgently needs more than this it needs tools for acquiring and retaining talent gaining deep insights into the workforce for strategic planning and providing informed support for rapid global business growth

These things are needed today and not as part of a future HR system upgrade that is often treated as a lower priority than other more directly revenue-enhancing business projects

Supporting Business Expansion Organizations emerging from the downturn are seeking to restructure and grow for maximum competitive advantage

Their strategies include ramping up promising lines of business opening new offices at home and overseas and judicious mergers and acquisitions

In each of these scenarios workforce management is a critical component for success In the case of new domestic and overseas premises organizations need to be able to assemble and deploy new teams quickly With mergers and acquisitions itrsquos vital to bring the acquired talent into the organization smoothly and effectively

Not only that but a dedicated administrator needs to be onsite to manage and maintain the system The costs and timescales involved can seriously slow down the rollout of a new

initiative Thatrsquos why many expanding organizations are choosing Oracle HCM Cloud to get up and running extremely quickly in new offices and divisions with a full-scale fully-featured HCM system for core transactional HR processes and strategic talent management

The Oracle Difference Enabling the New Era of HR Page 03

The New Role of HR HR has a pivotal role to play in the modern organization

Attracting and retaining talent is the number one concern for CEOs as people and skills become critical differentiators in a knowledge-driven economy

Increasingly senior management is looking to HR to develop strategies and tactics for recruiting talented people developing them in line with business objectives and personal career goals and inspiring them to greater heights of success

The ability to identify talent internally is as important as the ability to attract high-caliber external candidates so itrsquos becoming critical to gain transparency across strategic business units

The Oracle Difference

Organizations with a strategic investment in SAP need to be confident that any non SAP application delivers significant business value By choosing modern cloud based HCM software from Oracle you not only gain the functional advantages of market leading software which can easily complement your existing set of applications but many other benefits too

Fast time to value Oracle Applications are designed to be fast to implement with extensive configuration options that enable the software to be tailored to your business processes with no expensive

Another critical factor for organizations that want to capitalize on new opportunities is the ability to rapidly deploy talent to where it is most needed Growth-oriented companies want to move fast ndash but with as much risk taken out as possible

Increasingly HR is being asked to advise senior management on whether the skills needed for a new initiative already exist within the organization and how easily and quickly they can be mobilized to set up a new office overseas operation or manufacturing plant

customization Cloud based deployment options can start delivering value in days or weeks for a fraction of the set up costs of an on premise implementation

Rapid integration Oracle Applications are built on open standards based Oracle Fusion Middleware enabling rapid integration with SAP and other third party applications And as veterans of many integration projects with large SAP customers Oracle also has the most advanced HCM best practices in the market

Expert Viewpoint

ldquoHR leaders are dealing with more complex challenging questions than their predecessors These new questions address core business issues Where should we build a plant Which MampA target will add the skills we need Where should we locate a new RampD center Answering them requires new data and new thinking Todayrsquos HR leader has to think like an economistmdashsomeone who studies and directs the allocation of finite resources In the global economy talent is one of those scarce resourcesrdquo

Deloitte Human Capital Trends 2013 Leading Indicators

Built in business intelligence Oracle Applications not only offer modern operational functionality but also have built in analytics and dashboards for monitoring and reporting on performance and identifying and addressing exceptions

Familiar secure technology platform Oracle Applications rely on the same secure powerful Oracle Database platform that underpins many SAP and other business application implementations providing unrivalled security performance and availability for your enterprise data

New Tools are Needed for Business Success SAP continues to play a critical strategic role at organizations around the globe

Businesses of all kinds have invested in SAP as a core enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to manage back office operations including finance manufacturing supply chain and HR

That investment has delivered huge advantages it has automated processes centralized operational data and standardized the way the organization works ndash all of which has improved operational efficiency and boosted margins

The issue for HR today is that the incumbent SAP system (like many others) was designed for an era when HR was a predominantly administrative function

For that reason itrsquos primarily used to support the transactional side of workforce management providing a single source of basic employee data managing payroll administering benefits and recording holidays sickness and absence

But to meet the demands of modern business HR urgently needs more than this it needs tools for acquiring and retaining talent gaining deep insights into the workforce for strategic planning and providing informed support for rapid global business growth

These things are needed today and not as part of a future HR system upgrade that is often treated as a lower priority than other more directly revenue-enhancing business projects

As a result HR professionals are turning instead to cloud-based tools that can work with SAP and which can be up and running ndash and delivering value ndash in a matter of weeks

The following sections show how SAP customers are using market-leading tools from Oracle to bring processes ranging from recruiting and talent management to workforce planning and HR service delivery into the global social and mobile era

Supporting Business Expansion Organizations emerging from the downturn are seeking to restructure and grow for maximum competitive advantage

Their strategies include ramping up promising lines of business opening new offices at home and overseas and judicious mergers and acquisitions

In each of these scenarios workforce management is a critical component for success In the case of new domestic and overseas premises organizations need to be able to assemble and deploy new teams quickly With mergers and acquisitions itrsquos vital to bring the acquired talent into the organization smoothly and effectively

Once the teams are deployed they need access to all of the HR services that will help them to settle and flourish in their new role At the same time the

HR function needs to be able to manage them as an integral part of the overall workforce

Rolling out a traditional on-premise ERP system like SAP to a new office is a costly exercise likely to take over a year and require extensive help from internal IT teams or external consultants New server hardware will be needed to run the software and the new instance will need to be integrated with existing systems to create a single source of employee data

Not only that but a dedicated administrator needs to be onsite to manage and maintain the system The costs and timescales involved can seriously slow down the rollout of a new

initiative Thatrsquos why many expanding organizations are choosing Oracle HCM Cloud to get up and running extremely quickly in new offices and divisions with a full-scale fully-featured HCM system for core transactional HR processes and strategic talent management

With no hardware to buy a single monthly subscription fee extensive configurability and localized functionality for 38 languages and 200 countries Oracle HCM Cloud is the fastest most comprehensive and most cost-effective way to get new offices and teams up and running quickly And with its open-standards middleware platform it can easily be integrated with existing SAP HR systems to synchronize employee data with the SAP system of record

Summary As the workforce becomes the 1 competitive differentiator in the global knowledge economy HR has a fantastic opportunity to transform from a purely administrative function to an active contributor to shaping business strategy

For that to happen HR urgently needs the support of modern software tools for talent acquisition talent management and intelligent workforce management Legacy HR systems from a previous era are unable to provide the required functionality and upgrading them to newer versions is a long and costly exercise that will likely still not deliver the tools and intelligence that HR desperately needs

Supporting Business Expansion Organizations emerging from the downturn are seeking to restructure and grow for maximum competitive advantage

Their strategies include ramping up promising lines of business opening new offices at home and overseas and judicious mergers and acquisitions

In each of these scenarios workforce management is a critical component for success In the case of new domestic and overseas premises organizations need to be able to assemble and deploy new teams quickly With mergers and acquisitions itrsquos vital to bring the acquired talent into the organization smoothly and effectively

Once the teams are deployed they need access to all of the HR services that will help them to settle and flourish in their new role At the same time the

Not only that but a dedicated administrator needs to be onsite to manage and maintain the system The costs and timescales involved can seriously slow down the rollout of a new

initiative Thatrsquos why many expanding organizations are choosing Oracle HCM Cloud to get up and running extremely quickly in new offices and divisions with a full-scale fully-featured HCM system for core transactional HR processes and strategic talent management
