I\u2019ve always been an advocate of getting the best in point solutions and integrating everything together on the back end. This has always meant SAP or PeopleSoft for the HRMS, add a recruiting vendor and a talent suite, wrap around Plumtree for a portal on the front end and Cognos or Business Objects for BI on the back end. Until very recently, none of this has been very possible.<\/p>\n
Talk about XML and it\u2019s possibilities as an integration technology have been rampant, but without the service infrastructure at the application, middleware and data levels, true use of synchronous API\u2019s in real life situations has had a slower adoption curve. In Oracle Fusion and SAP NetWeaver, the infrastructure to handle these API\u2019s from both data and process perspectives becomes a reality.<\/p>\n
Finally we\u2019ve gotten to the point where real integration across disparate platforms can exist at multiple levels, and seem seamless to the end user. I personally think NetWeaver is a bit ahead of Oracle (they are only half way to Fusion, remember?) but both vendors should be able to execute their development roadmaps. Regardless of where they are, the ERP\u2019s seem to be positioning themselves out of the applications market where some HR point solutions are concerned. Even though they have had some amazing advances in functionality, single suite integration becomes less and less important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
