Oracle PeopleSoft HCM Review

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my current organization, we use Oracle PeopleSoft HCM for PII data, Banking details, Job Details and leave accruals. We've had an issue with hiring new employees and their data sometimes not feeding over. There is now an integration in place from SuccessFactors to our interface to process and insert a record in Job Data. If there are any errors, we can now manually correct it and reprocess the feed which eliminates the team from manually entering all PII and job information.

Pros

  • Track audit
  • Pulls data for queries
  • Customizable

Cons

  • Better interface so that there are less complex implementation and maintenance requirements
  • Better training on new functionality to users
  • Better legacy architecture so that it will not impact deployments

Return on Investment

  • Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is easy to use
  • Provides users the details they need to see
  • Enhancements are configurable

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM - Still great, but...

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle PeopleSoft HCM is our main HR system. It is used to onboard new hires, as well as providing a feed to many other systems we use on a daily basis. We use Oracle PeopleSoft HCM to provide one location for HR-related business within the organization. This helps us bring down silos that existed before our implementation, integrating the HR system across multiple locations for easy access to all HR data.

Pros

  • On-boarding of new staff
  • Highly customizable
  • Very robust data points when used properly

Cons

  • User Interface, even under Fluid UI is still the same old tired Oracle PeopleSoft HCM
  • In my opinion, costs far too much for most enterprises to implement especially if any customization is needed
  • In my opinion it has gone downhill ever since Oracle acquired PeopleSoft - they have taken on the same mentality as Oracle which unfortunately took the PeopleSoft name down several notches for me personally

Return on Investment

  • Has made onboarding new hires easier and decreased some turnover
  • Saves hours by bringing data from multiple systems together
  • In my experience, causes the need for excessive training because of its non-intuitive user interface and long-outdated data entry routines

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for HR and Payroll. It is nice because it works with our accounting system as well, but we also have to use another database to export data, which is a little annoying. There are some kinks that could be worked out, but overall the system is pretty good and gives us what we need.

Pros

  • Employee Personal Information
  • Employee Benefits
  • Pay information

Cons

  • Updating payroll funding
  • Keeping personal information secure
  • additional queries for information needed

Return on Investment

  • Over the years it has helped reduce the FTE counts within various agencies
  • We have recently started looking into another database that will do all the things we need, Payroll, HR, Accounting, budget.

Oracle HCM - The perfect solution to your day to day use in office

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Here in my company, we use Oracle HCM on a daily basis. From onboard hiring to getting every details such as employment verification, salary etc. As for the information security tasks, that is also assigned to employees in the HCM tool. A time limit is also provided which helps the employees identify when to finish it. The tool also help monitor everything.

Pros

  • Employment verification letter to be provided to landlords, house loan everything.
  • HR related information like leave, payslips etc
  • Information security tasks such as confidentiality agreement, cyber awareness etc

Cons

  • I would say the layout, it can be made into a simpler and can look better
  • Include more tasks such has IT helpdesks. As we have a different tool for that
  • I wish if we had internal articles/documents within the tool

Return on Investment

  • Saves a lot of time for both the employer and the employee
  • Less workforce
  • All the work into one portal helped in reducing purchases of multiple applications
