As we look ahead to the coming year, we’re proud to reflect on the groundwork we’ve laid. This year has been about creating and improving the tools...
Discover why One Model outperforms built-in HCM analytics solutions with effortless data integration, fast insights, and advanced predictive analytics.
When it comes to leveraging workforce data for strategic decision-making, organizations need tools that go beyond simple reporting. People Analytics Platforms collect, clean, and analyze data, deliver valuable insights, use predictive analytics, and integrate with other business systems.
While major Human Capital Management platforms like SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle offer analytics capabilities, One Model stands out as a critical addition to these built-in solutions.
Here’s why:
The ability to integrate diverse data sources effortlessly is critical for gaining accurate insights. By pulling real-time data from multiple sources, organizations can make more informed decisions that directly impact their overall strategy.
Workday Prism: Workday Prism aims to provide a unified analytics layer but has challenges with integrating data from third-party sources. The platform requires users to publish individual data sets, and the data preparation logic is often inconsistent. This can lead to confusion and inefficiencies, specifically for organizations that need to bring together diverse data sources.
SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics: One of the major drawbacks of SAP SuccessFactors WFA is its limited data integration capabilities. While it offers workforce analytics, it primarily only works within the confines of specific SuccessFactors modules. Integrating external data from other systems or non-HR business data is either not possible or costly and cumbersome.
Oracle Fusion: Similarly, Oracle’s analytics solution is tightly coupled with its HCM platform. While it provides robust tools for managing HR data, the system lacks flexibility with integrating with non-Oracle systems. This creates data silos. Additionally, Oracle’s analytics solution comes with hidden costs, such as fees for custom analytics, data storage, and specialized expertise.
One Model: One Model excels at integrating all of your HR data and external business data into a cohesive platform. With pre-built connectors to popular systems like Workday, SuccessFactors, and Oracle, as well as the ability to integrate non-HR data, One Model creates a unified data warehouse that provides deeper insights across all business functions. This flexibility ensures businesses have a complete, real-time view of their workforce and business performance.
When speed is critical for decision-making, long implementation timelines can hinder an organization’s ability to take action. One Model’s quick deployment ensures that companies don’t have to wait months or years to start seeing value from their analytics investments.
Workday Prism: Workday Prism involves an in-depth implementation and the need for specialized BI developers to maintain the system after implementation.
SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics: The time to value with SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics can range from 12 to 24 months, as the system requires significant customization, data preparation, and integration efforts.
Oracle Fusion: Similarly, Oracle Fusion's analytics solution requires extensive customization, and companies often face long implementation times before seeing value.
One Model: One Model has the ability to deliver actionable insights in as little as 6-12 weeks. With a user-friendly platform and expert support, One Model allows organizations to experience value faster, making it the ideal choice for businesses that need rapid insights to drive strategic decision-making. With robust role-based security and pre-built, customizable HR metrics, users can access the insights they need without waiting for IT or BI teams.
HR teams need to be agile and adapt their analytics strategies to meet shifting organizational priorities. Solutions that allow for easy customization can empower HR professionals to act quickly and align their insights with business needs.
Workday Prism: Customizing reports and data models in Prism requires the involvement of skilled BI developers, leading to delays in decision-making.
SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics: While SuccessFactors offers basic reporting capabilities, customizing reports and metrics is time-consuming and requires significant technical expertise, slowing down the ability to generate actionable insights. Additionally, the platform's rigid data architecture can make it challenging to create highly customized solutions that meet unique organizational requirements.
Oracle Fusion: Oracle Fusion’s self-service capabilities are limited, and users need specialized skills to customize reports and analytics models.
In contrast, One Model stands out for its ease of customization. One Model is designed to allow users to quickly create and customize dashboards and metrics in minutes. By offering a platform that simplifies customization, One Model enables HR teams to take full ownership of their analytics and ensure they are always aligned with evolving organizational goals.
As organizations continue to rely on data to shape their strategies, predictive analytics and machine learning are becoming increasingly vital for understanding and forecasting workforce behaviors. Solutions with built-in AI capabilities can provide deep insights into areas like turnover, performance, and employee satisfaction.
Workday Prism: Prism offers basic reporting and visualization, but predictive capabilities are limited, and the platform is not optimized for machine learning applications.
SuccessFactors Workforce Analytics: SuccessFactors lacks built-in machine learning and predictive analytics, leaving HR leaders with limited capabilities to forecast trends like attrition and performance.
Oracle Fusion: Oracle’s analytics tools fall short in providing integrated predictive insights. Oracle offers a visualization layer, but predictive modelling requires significant customization.
One Model: One Model sets itself apart with its powerful machine learning engine, One AI, which enables predictive insights across key HR metrics like attrition and performance. One Model offers complete transparency into its AI models, ensuring that businesses can maintain control over algorithms and stay compliant with legal and ethical standards.
When compared to Workday, SuccessFactors, and Oracle Fusion’s built-in analytics modules, One Model stands out as the most flexible, cost effective, and customizable solution for People Analytics.
With faster time to value, data integration across multiple HR and business systems, and advanced predictive analytics, One Model helps businesses use their people data as a strategic asset. For organizations seeking fast, effective data-informed decision-making, One Model is the clear choice for enhancing your existing HCM solution.
