5 Risks of Running Oracle HCM On Premise

1. User Experience

Oracle HCM on premise applications were built in the last generation for IT and back-office HR and finance professionals. They were not designed for end users or mobile devices and therefore the user experience is complicated and unintuitive. This creates inconsistent, disconnected experiences that are not fully aligned with current employee expectations.

2. Complexity

With Oracle HCM you are responsible for managing the complexity of customizations, integrations, and the maintenance of hardware and middleware. This impacts your ability to make changes and adapt rapidly to meet changing business needs, while also increasing costs.

3. Data Silos

On Premise HCM is disconnected and the data is stored in multiple, disparate sources. This increases the time needed to extract and analyze data, slowing down decision making and not delivering insights to the right people at the right time.

4. Integration

Oracle HCM on premise does not offer a truly connected experience across all your enterprise systems like recruiting, talent management, payroll, financials, expenses, supply chain, procurement, and customer experience. This complicates the visibility into your processes, creating a disconnected experience and leading to inconsistent data.

5. Emerging Technologies

On Premise HCM offers limited access to modern technologies like AI, ML, and digital assistants. This creates unnecessary roadblocks in supporting continuous innovation and delivering next-generation capabilities to help you gain a competitive advantage.
