- How secure will your data be and will it be handled by different vendors?
- Will you be forced to comply with the vendor’s standard or will you have the flexibility to personalize your application--without complex coding?
- Can the system grow and evolve with your business?
- Can you move to the cloud at your pace or is your only option to rip and replace?
- Do you have the option to choose between a public and private cloud?
By asking these questions, you can ensure that your cloud solution addresses both the complexity concerns HR leaders often have and the security and data privacy worries of IT.
At Oracle, we like to say that we support our customers from concrete to the cloud—from the data center to the database to middleware and the application itself. This approach means greater data security for our customers, greater speed for end users and greater ease of use for both developers and business users. Our platform services are built on industry standards, not proprietary code, and are run transparently in the cloud.We also offer other services in the cloud so should your company wish to expand your business suite or if you already run Oracle cloud applications, you won’t have to worry about complex integrations. Plus, in our cloud, your data is controlled by a single vendor: Oracle. Unlike other HCM cloud vendors who work with a variety of contractors, Oracle owns its data centers. The company has spent over $1 billion dollars in recent years building out these gen 4 data centers and we offer globalcoverage and 24/7 active monitoring and support. And if you prefer not to enter the public cloud at all, we can deploy a private cloud just for your company.
No two companies are alike and your HCM solution should reflect that. The problem is that many of them don’t, particularly when it comes to cloud-based solutions. Whether it comes to deployment, configuration and system upgrades, we’ve designed our solution so you’re not backed into a corner.
If you’ve decided that your company is ready for the cloud but you still want to leverage an on-premise solution or if you want to try the cloud in a certain region before rolling out globally, we can easily support you. You can move to the cloud incrementally and add new modules or regions as needed, all while co-existing with your existing solutions. This is a drastic contrast to other cloud solutions, which require an all or nothing approach.
The flexibility continues post-deployment. We understand that you may want to tailor your system processes to meet your company’s needs and that you may want to adjust the look, feel and behavior of different screens. We’ve made this easy for the HR user to do—no developers needed. In addition to screen configuration, you can add new fields, run custom reports, modify standard reports and create new process flows.
Finally, as we mentioned, you have the choice to deploy your solution in a public cloud, private cloud or a hybrid cloud that marries modules from both. This way you can have the level of control over your data and your upgrade path that works best for your company.
