With Oracle Cloud, enterprises have a choice among the following ERP and HCM Cloud implementation scenarios:

• Big Bang where Financials and HCM are implemented at the same time.
• Financials then HCM when Financial is implemented first then HCM is implemented in a future phase.
• HCM then Financials when HCM is implemented first then Financials is implemented in a future phase.

Caesars Entertainment weighed the benefits and ultimately chose Financials before HCM. Below are three key takeaways discovered during their cloud journey:

1. Establish a sound enterprise and workforce structure BEFORE beginning the journey to the cloud. This includes identifying reporting structure and planning for cost center or department configurations.

2. Communication is critical throughout the process. A shared understanding of terminology, however, is often overlooked. Consider legal entity definitions, as well as ERP interpretations compared to HCM interpretations.

3. Prepare for key information sharing between Oracle Cloud Financials and HCM. Shared foundation data between ERP and HCM includes addresses, assignments, phones, positions, departments, etc. Also anticipate key integrations – including payroll expenses, time and labor to project costing, approval management, personal information and employment information – between Financials and HCM.
