On February 14, 2012, Alan Lepofsky, Frank Scavo, Yvette Cameron, and R "Ray" Wang discussed the impacts, risks, and opportunities around Oracle's acquisition of Taleo, and SAP's acquisition of SuccessFactors in the webinar, For Better or For Worse: A Deeper Look at the Oracle/Taleo and SAP/SuccessFactors Acquisitions.
The analysts have provided the following takeaways for the attendees of the webinar:
Alan Lepofsky: "Integrating social features into hr processes is a great first step, but augmenting those social elements even further with information from other enterprise systems makes them even more useful."
Frank Scavo: “Customers of the acquired companies (Taleo and SuccessFactors) should not feel the need to make any sudden moves, but be aware that there may be longer term changes in support. Organizations that are in the middle of potential deals with Taleo and SuccessFactors should be sure to get all verbal assurances in writing. Remember, if it’s not in the contract, it doesn’t exist.”
Yvette Cameron: "Change is a constant in business, and in the HCM technology space we will continue to see a lot of it -- continued consolidation, new entrants with edge apps, and enterprise players newly moving into HCM. Alignment between HR and the business remains paramount. Adding value to the business through the right people management strategies and processes for your organization, and developing your HCM service delivery and technology strategies based on your people strategies, far outweighs pure process efficiencies or getting the latest shiny new technologies. Clarity on your HCM service delivery strategy also provides a baseline for measuring future moves when the inevitable market disruption and distractions come your way."
R "Ray" Wang: "Focus on business value. Start with your apps strategy and then figure out the technology last."
