Kai Petzelt, Vice President of Product Marketing for Oracle HCM, wrote about the top 10 reasons why companies should consider moving HCM in the Cloud. Companies need technology that supports areas like compensation, payroll, benefits, performance, and time management all in one platform. This technology also needs to adhere to the latest compliance and regulatory requirements. Requirements like this mean that this technology cannot be limited to the boundaries of an on-premises solution.

Petzelt points out that in order to benefit from all of the capabilities while having the lowest maintenance and effort to control and update systems, small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) should take their human capital management (HCM) practices to the Cloud. Doing so can help these businesses connect various HR initiatives and technology across the enterprise. In addition to low maintenance and additional capabilities, Petzelt laid out the top 10 reasons to move HCM in the Cloud.

Many companies are understandably cautious about investing in new technologies – particularly back-office systems that are critical to their operations. However, a new report from MIT Technology Review showed that after a decade of companies moving to Cloud applications, those that hesitate put themselves at greater risk than in the past. The old ways of staying current won’t be sufficient enough to compete with companies that are truly modernizing their operations and even creating new business models with Cloud applications. Oracle Vice Chairman Jeff Henley said that reluctant company leaders and boards must be sold on the strategic advantages of Cloud applications, not just on their cost benefits. Three companies – AirAsia, Sportable Scoreboards, and TrueBlue – leveraged Oracle Cloud applications (HCM, ERP, EPM) to future-proof operations.

Oracle Transportation Management Cloud was named a 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Transportation Management systems. Multimodal domestic transportation management systems (TMSs) are a subset of the global TMS market. TMSs generically refer to the category of software that deals with the planning and execution of the physical movement of goods across the supply chain. This Magic Quadrant specifically focuses on holistic multimodal domestic TMSs for use by shippers (such as manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and wholesalers) or non-asset-based, third-party logistics (3PL) organizations. “Holistic,” in this context, means a TMS that incorporates all basic capabilities, as defined by Gartner, for a TMS, and “domestic” refers to movements within a region, mainly through domestic modes of transportation.
