Why Oracle HCM?
Elements of the Oracle HCM Solution
Oracle Human Capital Management: Oracle HCM
rethinks the business of HR to provide value to every
person in your organization. Covering everything
from core HR processes, payroll and workforce
service delivery to talent management and HR
analytics, Oracle HCM is available as individual
modules or as a comprehensive suite. Oracle HCM is
designed to coexist with your current applications
portfolio to deliver innovation without disruption.
You're in the driver's seat with the power to deploy
SaaS, hosted, or on premise all backed by industry
leading Oracle innovation.

Oracle Talent Management: The Oracle Talent
Management allows enterprises and midsize
businesses to recruit top talent, align that talent to key
goals, manage performance, develop top performers,
and turn today's best performers into tomorrow's
leaders. The solutions collect relevant talent
information throughout the employee's entire
lifecycle, and empower HR, managers and employees
to leverage talent insights through the industry's
broadest cloud-based talent management platform.

Oracle HCM Key Benefits
Breadth and Depth: Only Oracle HCM has the breadth
and depth of solutions to provide the global HR
foundation that companies need, and the workforce insight
necessary for superior HR and talent management.
Having a comprehensive, end-to-end system enables
companies to apply best practice processes across the
spectrum and allows them to easily pull data from any
source. Rather than being limited to single processes,
such as performing an employee appraisal, HR
departments can use the integration of employee
performance management with learning and rewards to
produce data-driven outcomes such as pay for
performance or employee development initiatives that
support current business goals. Oracle HCM offers the
broadest flexibility in configurations and deployment
options so companies can quickly and easily build and
deploy new workforce processes.
Workforce Insight: By housing all HR data in a single
system designed by a single vendor, Oracle HCM is
unique in its ability to help companies realize the benefits
of workforce insight. Oracle delivers data capture and
analytic capabilities throughout its HCM platform, ranging
from embedded analytics within transactional systems to
predictive analytics and what-if modeling. Oracle HCM
makes it easy for users to interact with the systems,
ensuring that the right data is being captured and that data
is consistent across the entire organization. This
immediate and easy access gives HR leaders the
actionable information they need to make people decisions
in line with business strategy and budgets.
Predictive Analytics: Oracle HCMs predictive analytics
capabilities let managers predict workforce performance
and model outcomes. The actionable framework allows
managers to take immediate steps to positively influence
worker and organization behavior. Early identification
and mitigation of talent-related risks allows managers to
reduce attrition of top talent and increase performance so
organizations have the right talent in the right place at the
right time.
Global HR Foundation: Oracle HCM can help address
even complex global scenarios and helps companies
ensure local compliance. Oracle HCMs architecture
features a global core, an international layer, and country
extensions. The global layer allows organizations to




Why Oracle HCM?
streamline processes in order to have consistency, the
country extensions allow for deep, pre-configured local
HR and payroll functionality, and the highly configurable
international layer provides the flexibility to configure
localizations to reach beyond Oracles delivered countries.
Our competitors offer limited functionality that can open
companies up to costly legal and compliance issues.
Oracle HCMs unique person and employment model
allows organizations to capture all aspects of the
workforce and offers support for multiple employee types
and employees who have relationships with multiple legal
employers, multiple assignments, or individual contractual
agreements. Only appropriate sensitive personal data for
local employment is displayed, helping companies ensure
data privacy. Security access is granted based on the
workers role and location automatically, as part of the
guided business processes.
Aligning People to the Business: Oracle is unique in its
ability to provide the broadest and deepest set of HCM
solutions to help companies align their people to the
companys overall objectives and make data-driven
decisions. Oracle not only provides the global HR
foundation for collecting and analyzing talent data, but
also provides tools to simplify the goal management and
performance management processes.
Superior Talent Management: According to Bersin and
Associates, companies that excel in managing their talent
experience 50% less turnover, 31% higher employee
engagement and 42% stronger succession pipelines.
Oracle Talent Management Cloud Services, a unified and
comprehensive solution that is fully integrated with Oracle
HCM, help organizations approach talent management in
a fundamentally new way. By improving the efficiency of
all of the individual talent processes (recruiting,
performance management, succession planning, learning
and compensation) and integrating them into a single
platform, Oracle HCM enables the development of
effective talent management strategies and simplifies the
job of getting the best results from the workforce.
Comprehensive and Streamlined Recruiting: Oracle
Taleos recruiting solution, included in Oracle Talent
Management Cloud Services, enables organizations to
hire high volumes of candidates quickly, find candidates
for hard-to-fill positions, build talent pools in international
markets, and streamline the entire recruiting processes.
The solution supports comprehensive sourcing strategies
such as referral-based hiring, agency-based hiring, social
sourcing, and job distribution, helping companies improve
the quality of hires, reduce the time to hire, and lower the
cost of hire.
Automated Talent Reviews: Oracle Talent Review helps
automate a formerly manual process and takes the talent
discussion to the next level. Executives and HR
professionals can assess talent, identify risk areas, and
develop a leadership pipeline as well as mitigate their
talent risks, evaluate macro-organizational trends, and
review individual talent details such as potential and risk
of loss.
Integrated Help Desk: The Oracle HCM solution
includes a unique Help Desk feature, The HelpDesk for
HR, which provides a variety of live and offline channels
for the workforce to contact HR regarding complex issues
that cannot be resolved by the knowledgebase, portal or
HR self-service.
HCM on the Go: For the road warrior, manager and
executive, Oracle HCM includes Oracle Fusion Tap, a
tablet based app to access HCM solutions on the go.
Solution capabilities are available via a single app and
based on a users role and profile, they get access only to
the features and functions applicable to their job and
security level.




Why Oracle HCM?
Customized User Experience: Oracle HCM is built with
the end user in mind. The solution is built entirely around
user roles, key processes, and business-led configurability.
Users can do things their way by having the power to
easily mold and reshape the system to their liking. The
Oracle HCM user experience reflects the pervasiveness of
the internet and social networking, and includes built-in
social and mobile capabilities to ensure high usability
Flexibility: When HR needs to create and maintain
processes, Oracle HCM delivers best-in-class
configuration to help them tackle the challenge. With
Oracles Composers, innovative components that enable
users to customize or personalize applications and portals
post-deployment, companies can tailor HR processes to
meet individual organizations specific needs and
configure the look, feel and behavior of each screen in an
upgrade-safe manner. HR can add new fields to track
unique information, run custom reports, modify reports,
and create new process flows. All of this power
dramatically simplifies HRs job of keeping up with a fast-
paced business environment.
Efficient, Secure Deployment Options: Since Oracle
solutions are designed to operate as an integrated platform,
end-to-end HR processes in the cloud ensure data
consistency and increase operational effectiveness.
Packaged HR to HR integrations support co-existence
with current solutions. Oracle controls every security
level, from the data center to the database to middleware
and the application itself. Every layer of the stack is
engineered to work together in the cloud so HR data is
better secured. Users can only view what is appropriate,
and access is granted based on the worker's role, business
unit, and tasks. A Rapid Start foundation results in faster
time to value through dedicated functionality, methods,
and best practice setup templates that have been developed
for more efficient implementations. However, with Oracle,
the cloud is more than just Software as a Service.
Companies can also deploy a private cloud, in which the
solution is deployed only for them, or in a hybrid cloud
which marries modules from both the public and private
clouds. Oracle simplifies the cloud and makes it more
accessible for companies unique environments.
