Composable Approach

While Oracle HCM Solution revolves solely around software developed by the company, PeopleSpheres follows a contrary approach. PeopleSpheres centralizes your existing tools by bringing them together on a unified platform dedicated to administrative management.

This allows you to offer more flexibility and minimize disruption for your teams. For a company that has already invested in specific tools, this is a significant asset. You avoid a reset of your ecosystem, a loss of past data, and a sudden transition.

Continuous customer support

At PeopleSpheres, customer support is highly personalized. The teams work closely together from the beginning of the project to help you in:

The choice of modules and services,
Implementation in your organization,
The presentation of new developments in the ecosystem.

As a company close to its clients, PeopleSpheres guides every case by keeping their interests at heart. Thanks to our responsive support consulting teams, you will never be left alone in the face of your fears.

Simplicity and speed of implementation

Due to its structure and operating mode, Oracle calls on significant internal resources and requires the intervention of specialized consultants.

On the other hand, as a central platform, PeopleSpheres offers a much faster and more cost-effective implementation without impacting the current HR structure. PeopleSpheres presents itself as an interesting option for companies that want to progress quickly without hindering their teams on a long and time-consuming project.

Philippe Vincent

Senior VP Technology

We needed a solution that was not only multilingual but also truly suited for an international audience: we’ve deployed it in 110 countries, so it had to be credible in that regard. From a technical standpoint, it was also essential to have connectors, which is what PeopleSpheres provides. The platform acts as a central hub and connects to all of our applications via SSO.

Soraya PAQUIRI LEPRINCE

HR Project Manager

On the HR side, we were facing classic yet fundamental challenges: rapid growth in multi-site organizations and, above all, highly varied processes—some of which were manual. Our priorities were to standardize our processes, ensure the reliability of HR data, and improve the employee experience while empowering managers and teams.

Nohella DEKHISSI

HRIS Project Manager

With PeopleSpheres, the first benefit was time savings. Previously, teams had to re-enter all employee data into various systems; now, employees enter their own personal information directly into the tool. The second benefit, which became apparent once the implementation was complete, relates to data: higher-quality data, which now allows us to produce more reliable and accurate reports.

Sandrine VASSAL

Data and HRIS Manager

PeopleSpheres has ultimately become the hub—the central point of access—for our employee data. This has then allowed us to integrate all of our internal tools into it, ensuring reliable data transmission and eliminating double, triple, or even quadruple data entry—which is a common source of errors when switching between tools.

Jenna PIGNEROL

HR Director

At launch, we decided to work with a publisher on the GTA component, but that didn’t work out. PeopleSpheres very quickly found a solution that worked well for both us, the client, and their service provider. New demos were launched very quickly with new partners. It offered an incredible amount of freedom and flexibility!

FAQ

Questions we receive from HR Directors

What is the difference between Oracle HCM Cloud and PeopleSpheres?

Oracle HCM and PeopleSpheres are differentiate by their Opposite Approach.

Oracle HCM Cloud develops and maintains all functionalities (payroll, recruitment, training, talent management…). The integration between the modules is therefore native. However, this implies total dependence on the Oracle ecosystem and greater rigidity.

PeopleSpheres is based on a composable HRIS logic. The platform offers a central HR Core that serves as a unified base, to which the best HR tools on the market are connected via connectors, thus allowing the company to choose the solutions that really meet its needs, without being locked into a single publisher.

What is a monolithic HR suite compared to a composable HRIS?

These are two radically opposed HRIS architectures. Composable HRIS offers more flexibility and agility, where the monolithic sequel favours homogeneity at the expense of freedom of choice.

A monolithic suite is a unique HR system in which all modules are developed by the same publisher and operate in a closed environment.

A Composable HRIS is based on a central foundation (the Core RH) that centralizes data and processes. Specialized solutions freely chosen by the company are connected to the HR core. Each brick can be selected according to its performance, replaced if necessary, or kept.

What are the deployment times of PeopleSpheres compared to Oracle HCM Cloud?

The usual time frame for configure the PeopleSpheres solution miscellaneous between 14 and 34 days. The Full implementation of the project (including the configuration) may take between six months and one and a half years, depending on the size of the company and the scope of the project.

Is it possible to keep your existing HR software by switching to PeopleSpheres?

Yes! This is also the main advantage of PeopleSpheres, which is designed to adapt to the existing needs of each company.

If you’re already using a payroll software, ATS, or time management tool that’s right for you, there’s no need to replace it. PeopleSpheres connects to it through its connectors and integrates it into a unified interface, alongside your other HR tools. Data flows between solutions without manual re-entry, and your teams access everything from a single HR portal.

This approach makes it possible to preserve the investments already made, to limit the management of change for employees, and to gradually evolve its HRIS.
