A large Oil & Gas company with 50K+ employees
worldwide wants to implement Talent Management
processes but are looking for a 3rd Party solution
to implement them since their current E- Business
Suite environment doesnt support a robust Talent
Management suite as per their requirement.
Oracle Fusion Talent Management can be a
strategic fit in this scenario, filling the gap
perfectly from maintaining goals, evaluation
of performance, review of talent and assigning
compensation based on employee performance.
Additionally with the Co-Existence model the
client can continue to retain their critical Business
Processes on their PeopleSoft/ E-Business Suite
environments.
Scenario
1
Scenario
2
A large Pharmaceutical company with a global workforce has its
global operations in 10 different countries. The client has been
seeing a decline in productivity and thereby decline in proftability
over a period of time. Additionally the appraisal process currently
is not standardized and leads to a lot of manager subjectivity in
computation of end results.
Though the company was fine with their PeopleSoft HCM
environment they wanted to implement Talent Management modules
to leverage the functionality and hence were looking for an upgrade.
In this scenario the Oracle Fusion Applications Co-Existence
model for Talent Management would be a right ft for them. Instead
of upgrading their PeopleSoft environment for utilizing Talent
Management features, the client can leverage the Oracle Fusion
Applications Co-Existence approach ensuring a best of breed solution
integrated with their native environment.
Infosys Whitepaper | 5
The Talent Management process starts off with maintaining of Performance History and Person Profle related data. The core
data is fetched from the PeopleSoft/E-Business Suite environments to supplement the Profle and Performance data. The data
fed from Profles and Performance processes is fed into the Performance cycle and an employees performance over a period
of time is rated. Post the Performance rating, Compensation plans are built and based on an employees performance ratings
and appropriate changes are made to his/her compensation.
Compensation data is then fed back to the PeopleSoft/ E-Business Suite environment via delivered interfaces thus closing the
business process loop from PeopleSoft/ E-Business Suite to Oracle Fusion Talent Management and then back to native HCM
environment.

Employees Job related information like Employment data, job family, salary, grade, etc.
Organization related information like Establishments, Location, BU, Department, etc.
Integration Points

HCM environment Run Control page and Application Engine would be delivered to run the extract process. Similarly interface
would be delivered to import compensation related data from Oracle Fusion Applications into PeopleSoft.
The solution will utilize Oracle Data Integrator and Application Development Framework services for transferring data from
Oracles PeopleSoft/ E-Business Suite environments to Oracle Fusion Talent Management Co-existence environment. Oracle
Data Integrator solution (Xref KMs) Extracts, Transforms and Loads (ETL) data into staging area in Oracle Fusion Applications
environment and the interfaces map source to the Application Development Framework view structure. Subsequently a Batch

Summary
At Infosys we believe that Oracle Fusion Applications will be a game changer for many of
our customers who are right now beset with issues ranging from lack of standards based
technology to easily confgure and optimize their business processes, lack of decision oriented
transaction systems by role or business function or the lack of fexibility to use either On
Premise or SaaS models.
Oracle Fusion Applications which are built ground up on open Standards Technology,
Oracle Fusion Middleware, leverage best of breed infrastructure like SOA, embedded
BI, security and Web 2.0 based UI, and are geared towards addressing all the challenges
currently faced by clients.
A feature rich Talent Management Suite amply supported by Oracle Fusion Middleware and
Oracle Fusion HCM Co-existence model can be an advantage to all those organizations that
want to leverage their human capital in an optimal and productive manner without any of
the above-mentioned drawbacks.
Companies who dont want to incur additional cost on the middleware infrastructure while
at the same time want to leverage Oracle Fusion Talent Management functionality can look
at the Oracle Fusion Talent Management On Demand Co-Existence model to drive their
Talent Management requirements. With features like Organization Chart, Person Portrait,
Embedded Analytics, Talent Review and integrated Compensation Management companies
have all they need in one single product to manage their human capital.
Based on Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Fusion Talent Management suite of applications
is easy to confgure and thereby would lead to business process optimization. The embedded
business analytic in the product would greatly help the customers in real time decision-
making.
In our opinion, Oracle Fusion Talent Management Co-Existence is an outright winner and
game changer.
