Communications strategy and sponsor should endorse this approach • Prep the customer (cloud understanding, global design, product limitations, dependencies) • Helped them identify key roles and our expectations from them during project • Helped them plan for additional phases, post warranty support and end user trainings well in advance Centralized decision and design Adopt consultative approach Expectation setting • Manage external dependencies well
Key Lessons Learned • Limited availability of environments in SaaS Implementations • Ensure minimal overlap of phases • Plan Production to Test cloning for critical phases of projects (.e.g. CRP2, .SIT, UAT, Upgrade) • Start configuring Enterprise Setup on production post CRP2 or post approval of To-Be Process Model • Don’t underestimate data migration esp. historical data • Small upgrade window • Small window (5-6 weeks) available for end to end upgrade - hence it is critical to prioritize, validate and roll-out new functionalities • It is important to evaluate results of test plan immediately after upgrade and liaise with Oracle for resolution at an early stage 5 4 1 2 3 Key Lessons Learned • SMEs buy-in and period reviews • Ensure that client keeps Worker council involved and updated with the progress of the project to ensure their buy-in to the solution • Keep ~2 months for end to end rollout for each set of countries • Oracle Releases newer version every six months • Before starting the implementation, get all details of new releases in HCM Cloud space from Oracle and plan implementation accordingly • Importance of Data Privacy • Involve customer legal experts at an early stage of the project and also ensure Customer PMO arranges for necessary design/CRP/UAT sign off from their internal legal team
