    The UK HCM challenge

    Oracle HCM is powerful. The day-to-day reality is where value leaks.

    Most UK HR teams are not stuck on the platform itself. They are stuck on the operational weight around quarterly releases, payroll validation, integrations, reporting and user confidence.

Working with them, we expedited our Redwood adoption, which was at a shocking 28%, and in a short span we hit 93%. That has placed us in the perfect position to start our AI journey, and we are very excited for what is ahead.
