For the second year running, Applaud have been selected to present at the biggest Oracle HR conference of the year, the Oracle HR User Group 2012, held in Las Vegas from Monday June 18th to Thursday June 21st. The session details are below. We look forward to seeing you there!

6.5 ways to turn your Self Service HR Users into Fans

The new trend is”Consumerization of IT”: your users expect you to provide the same easy to use, attractive applications as they enjoy at home. Your employees are bringing in their own smartphones and tablets that they want to use at work. They are putting pressure on you to provide a better HR experience, with usability at the heart of their complaints. In the meantime, you’ve invested many dollars and many years in the Oracle e-Business suite and have a stable, working HR system with more depth and breadth than any good looking SaaS based solution on the market. What can you do?

This presentation will give you initiatives that you can work on right away, no matter how tight your budget is. We’ll take you though rich portals (no portal technology needed), branded look and feels, smartphone and tablet apps and other impressive tricks that turn your users into fans using what you’ve already got; no middleware required. And the suggestions will be achievable even if you have not yet upgraded to Release 12 and have only the most modest budget to play with.

This presentation will be aimed at HR practitioners and IT Leads and will be non-technical in nature. Free downloadable examples will be delivered in the session for you to pass on to your implementation teams.
