July 16, 2020 - Enabling MSS Actions on Oracle Cloud HCM

As the Global Work Philosophy transforms towards Working from Anywhere / Working from Home, questions often arise on how to handle paperwork for an enterprise level transaction. This is common in the HR space with any employee / manager initiated transaction and often may need to go through a series of approvals. It is always a dream for any HR Personnel to see this activity happening seamlessly and on-time with the least amount manual intervention possible. Similar is the case we had with one customer where the biggest concern was the bundles of paperwork to handle for any Transfers / Promotions / Miscellaneous Employee Transactions. Addressing these concerns, especially as the world suffers the pandemic pain with social distancing becomes a much-needed exercise.

June 17, 2020 - Supply Chain Management – Be Proactive and Agile

Willard Wayman

A few weeks back I went into my local warehouse store to get a few items. I headed back to the food section and immediately noticed empty pallets where water for sale normally was found. At the end of the row a forklift had just placed a pallet of water which was being picked clean. I took a case of water and then another, even though I had 2 cases at home. I thought about other “essentials” and headed over to get toilet paper, nothing but empty pallets. I had a case at home so I didn’t worry too much about the warehouse store being out. Other shoppers were being silly and panicking, not me. The next week, as news reports blasted the airwaves with news of vast supply chain disruptions, I lined up with a few hundred people to get more toilet paper. An hour and a half later we entered the same warehouse store. There at the entrance was a sign with a list of several items they were out of, cleaned out by panic. I got my case of toilet tissue that day and added it to another already in storage, just in case.

Roland Owens

On March 27^th, 2020 The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law. There is over $2 trillion of economic relief targeted to US citizens and business. There are some specific attributes of this act that are targeted to many businesses that are Oracle customers from a HR, Payroll and Benefits perspective. Below, we will review information from My Oracle Support (MOS), in an attempt to uncover support that Oracle has provided to accommodate the CARES act. The primary beneficiaries from these updates are customers that have Absence Management, Leave and Payroll.

The COVID-19 is not only affecting the health and well-being of people across the world, it is also having a growing impact on our economy and therefore prompting business leaders to do what they can to minimize the impact on their own company and maximize the resources and applications that they have. If your company hasn’t taken the time to explore utilizing a Managed Service Provider (MSP), now may be a good time.
