Introduction

Planning Implementation

The flexibility of Oracle HRMS enables you to develop an implementation project plan that meets your own specific business needs for Oracle Human Resources, Oracle Payroll, Oracle Advanced Benefits, Oracle Learning Management, and Oracle Self-Service Human Resources (SSHR).

With Oracle HRMS you choose the functions you want to implement initially. You implement other functions when you need to use them.

For example, you might decide to implement for HR users, and then to add payroll processing capabilities in a subsequent phase. Alternatively, you might decide to implement payroll functions during your initial phase. You could choose to extend your range of HR information and functions later.

Decision making is an important part of any implementation process and before you begin to configure Oracle HRMS you must decide how you want to use the system.

Adopting a staged, or incremental, approach to implementation lets you focus on those areas of the system you want to use.

Working in partnership with Oracle you can call on skilled consultants to provide you with all of the training, and technical and professional expertise you need. Together you can successfully implement an HRMS system that matches your specific business needs in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

Note: If you are implementing the Oracle HRMS Multi-Tenant functionality, you must refer to the Oracle HRMS Multi-Tenant Functionality white paper on My Oracle Support, Note ID: 760500.1

HRMS Configuration Workbench

You can manage your implementation using the HRMS Configuration Workbench. The Workbench delivers a configuration interview that helps you make the best configuration choices for your enterprise. The interview is based on the distilled knowledge of good practice from the experience of hundreds of customers working in different industries and geographies.

Use the Quick Start option in the Workbench to generate prototype configurations that include all the essential definitions for using HR and Payroll. You can create alternative prototypes by answering the interview questions slightly differently. The Quick Start option generates default settings for other required system components in HR and Payroll that you would typically set up manually. Work through your business processes using the prototypes to experience the effect of alternative configuration choices.

When you are satisfied with your prototype configuration you can proceed to use the full configuration management toolset in the Workbench. For the Full Implementation, you should make sure you complete all the details about your enterprise before you generate the full configuration. You can load the full configuration only once, so you need to include all the required detail before you load it.

When you have loaded the full configuration, you have a basic implementation that matches the business processes of your enterprise. Evaluate what additional features you require, and follow the implementation steps to add features and extend your configuration.
