SCOPING ACCURACY:
How well did your implementation partner scope the work and understand your needs during the pre-sales process?
Partner scoped and quoted the work well, but our needs changed during implementation
Was the implementation team who actually performed the work the same team that was proposed?
Slight change in team
What “Lessons Learned” would you provide to others implementing with this partner / software?
Inconsistent actions (naming convention from within the application vs. what is displayed in MSS or ESS. As much as we stressed Change Management and Training the client did not want to invest $ so we had quite few problems.
Oracle HCM Cloud Reporting horrible. Borders on not being globally compliant and caused ‘customization’. Example Emergency Contacts falls under ‘contacts’ which might be used for beneficiary or dependents. Emergency Contacts asked for SSN and DOB which we had to turn off and added to our customization list. As much as Oracle states they are compliant, globally we had internal legal guidance that felt otherwise. Oracle held firm on their decision stating required for Payroll however we were not using Oracle Payroll
