Top HR Technology Vendors by Function
.
I always have my list of top vendors, but it’s nice to see what the surveys are saying as well. For HRMS, this lines up 100% with what I always thought domestically for enterprise HRMS. (see chart at bottom of page) Peoplesoft ADP Enterprise SAP Oracle/Lawson (tied) ((CedarCrestone 2005 Workforce Technologies and Service Delivery Approaches…

Oracle Fusion point counterpoint
.
Over at the Parallax blog, a wonderful evaluation of Oracle Fusion and in it, some nice comparisons between Oracle Fusion and SAP NetWeaver. Myth #1: Fusion is a Bad Idea: But both Oracle and SAP sounded the alarm long before most other companies even knew they were in icy waters. In fact, both SAP and…

SAP and Oracle ERP News
.
So who’s winning the ERP war? SAP has stronger market momentum, better articulated value for next-generation apps, and a better partnership strategy than Oracle. But Oracle’s strong middleware platform and greater support of standards make it a better choice than SAP for customers who will rely on custom development as well as packaged apps. ((John…

Oracle versus SAP – 2008
.
I’m pretty comfortable giving my stack ranking of current enteprrise HR vendors. PeopleSoft HR, SAP HR and then Oracle might make the list. Everyone else in my opinion is a tier 2. (Oracle might be a tier 2, but We’ll let them in since they are in the article title). The environment becomes more interesting…

Is Oracle’s Best Good Enough?
.
This article from Baselinemag.com takes a look at Oracle post PeopleSoft aquisition. It’s a good question as Oracle has never been good enough if we talk about HR. Their financials have always been highly rated, but for the major ERP’s, the HR functionality has been sub-par at best. At worst, Oracle HR has been a…

What is Oracle Fusion?
.
Here’s my attempt to simplistically explain what Oracle Fusion is all about. I’ve noticed that most people seem to have misperceptions regarding what Oracle Fusion is all about. This is actually for good reason: When Oracle purchased PeopleSoft and thus the JD Edwards application as well, and then announced project Fusion, it didn’t take much…

Oracel Fusion and the current Oracle HRMS
.
I loved (and have also discussed) this from another blog: FUSIONI just wanted to make a few comments on the Fusion product. I apologize, but I’m still trying to get more clarity around the scope of this release/product, but it appears to be software that will be similar to middleware, where several applications can run…

Oracle Fusion – More details
.
It appears that there is more information leaking out of Oracle these days regarding Fusion. First of Siebel CRM is not in the current plans for Fusion. The Siebel acquisition was made after the initial Fusion architecture decision and has not yet been included. Second, the first wave of Fusion applications that will be made…

SAP Safe Passage
.
http://www.sap.com/Company/Press/Press.epx?PressID=4964 SAP has been offering (and has now extended) a Safe Harbor program for PeopleSoft, JDE and Oracle customers wanting to convert off their platforms to SAP. The program has been allowing customers to access SAP technical resources. I’m not so sure this has been as successful as they think it has been. While they…

Oracle Fusion, and future PeopleSoft functionality
.
Oracle Fusion has been a pretty good mystery for me. I have not heard much concrete information until lately. While I can’t tell you where this information came from (other than it’s not from within the organization I work for), it is very reliable. First of all, Oracle is clearly combining JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and…

Oracle Grids
.
I love Oracle. I’m not a DBA or even a halfway decent technologist. Just a semi-technical HR guy. But when Oracle came out with 10g application servers last year, I was a pretty excited guy. I saw a new press release about 10g and thought I’d write a little note. We probably all know about…

Oracle does the right thing
.
Oracle’s “Project Fusion” gives me great hope in the future of non-SAP HRMS. So I understand that PeopleSoft the ERP is gone, and so is JD Edwards. But the idea that everything will be swallowed by Oracle with no remains is now less likely. Project fusion will hopefully combine the best of breed apps that…

Good bad and sad vendor news
.
In an interesting vendor day, there’s good news, bad news and depressing news. First the good news. Oracle has released patches and fixes for the PeopleSoft products. Many organizations have been worried about the support Oracle would be offering, but it appears that Oracle is fairly committed to maintaining the satisfaction of the customer base.…

Oracle and PeopleSoft
.
Looks like Oracle’s aquisition strategy is generally working out. While Oracle’s net profits are down due to increased short term expense, it looks like they will be hanging onto the majority of the PeopleSoft clients. a very low percentage of those clients are open to leaving in the short to mid term, unlike what other…
