Oracle coded their compensation workbench so they could use it themselves.\u00a0 It\u2019s the best module in their HR suite.\u00a0 What a novel idea to create an application you think is good enough to use yourself.\u00a0 There are other models of course.\u00a0 SuccessFactors and other SaaS organizations now have a healthy record of coding and being able to execute changes in customer requests very quickly, but there is some sense to coding for yourself.<\/p>\n
Especially if you are Oracle.\u00a0 You are large and diverse enough that your needs are going to suite the large majority of organizations out there.\u00a0 What if you\u2019re ADP?\u00a0 Should ADP be able to cater to the 90% of organizations, or maybe they should go create a payroll system that even their employees would love?\u00a0 (maybe they are getting close to that, I don\u2019t know).\u00a0 The point is, if Oracle is so large and diverse, and one would assume that their own HR department is using the entire suite, why is Oracle HRMS widely regarded as a lesser HR system?\u00a0 Does their own HR department have to run customizations on the product?\u00a0 Or perhaps their HR department is not part of the development loop?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not on an Oracle (or ADP) rampage.\u00a0 I\u2019m just questioning all vendors if they ask their HR department if the product is cool.\u00a0 It\u2019s the closest real world feedback you can get.\u00a0 All too often in a product world, product development and sales is king, and HR and other administrative is wasted overhead.\u00a0 Well guess what, your own HR department is the best opinion you might get.\u00a0 This approach may not work for everyone.\u00a0 Most talent vendor are too small for their HR department to really have insight whether a 50,000 person company will derive value from the product.\u00a0 But no matter what, they can still point out bugs, usability and navigational problems, recommend things they would like to have, etc\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
