What we have found
Evolutionary & Revolutionary for organisations coming from traditional,
or older, transaction applications & reporting environments

Real-time and graphical, visibility for HR & Managers alike, embedded
within the HCM Application, supporting decision making & process
execution

Significant Efficiency Gains in terms of tracking business process
progress & behaviour, and understanding transaction level activity

Leverages Fusion Applications data & logical models, quick & easy to
deploy drag & drop configuration

It is not:
An analytical tool for complex correlation assessment, period on period
trending or predictive analysis
46
Example: Goal Management
47
Example: Performance Distribution
48
Example: Performance Appraisal
Process
49
Implementation Experience
Subject Areas Leverage Fusion Applications data & logical models,
Quick & easy to deploy drag & drop configuration
Delivered Subject Areas have some gaps & cross Subject Area dashboards
have performance challenges

Governed by the same single security authority as Fusion Application:
complete consistency in data visibility no need to worry about security
but challenging to provide company wide insights
Complex Fusion Application security roles, significantly increase processing
time of transaction queries to build dashboards (which are done in real-time)

Simple & easy to dashboard transactions that exist, but challenging to
dashboard those that dont, but should e.g. employees with no goals

Period on Period Trending not feasible

50
Takeaway
Significant WOW factor
Real-Time Value Added Visibility for Managers & HR alike
Quick & easy to deploy

but

Keep it Simple
Deploy to Managers & HR Business Partners for transaction visibility
Not to be used for true Corporate insights

..Looking forward to Cloud Connector for OBIEE HR Analytics
