Internal Oracle document details HCM software strategy plans

28.08.2012

The document notes that Fusion HCM "will remain on controlled availability and require development approval" through October, however. Taleo Performance and Compensation is also on controlled availability, it adds.

Elsewhere, the document reveals details of features that will be added to the Taleo and Fusion HCM products over time. Taleo and Oracle products will be integrated to provide a "unified profile that has candidate, employee and external content," it states.

Until now, Oracle hadn't described in so much detail how the Taleo products will be integrated and marketed, said Forrester Research analyst Paul Hamerman, who viewed the document. "This really kind of lays it out."

The document also discusses pricing, including proposed scenarios for unified pricing deals that include applications from both Taleo and Oracle, although it wasn't immediately clear Tuesday whether the dollar figures cited were actual or current. Most modules were priced from $1 to $2 per employee per month.

Those figures "are pretty consistent with what you see in the market," Hamerman said. "What they're looking to do is layer them in $1 or $2 increments and try to get $10 [per employee per month]. That's what SuccessFactors does."
