In 2017, PwC developed a survey on HR technologies. The primary purpose of this survey is to spot trends in HRIS and provide insights into the challenges and opportunities companies are faced with when shifting HR applications into the cloud.

The survey makers distributed questionnaires to a variety of organizations ranging in sizes. Respondents included local and global businesses with an average of $1 billion in revenue.

They collected responses in regards to the following topics:

• Oracle Cloud Implementation
• Challenges of implementing Oracle Cloud
• HR self-service
• Support team size
• Mobile deployment
• positive impacts on HR service delivery

From the responses, the team identified six key takeaways:

1. Almost half of the organizations reported a continued portfolio consolidation.
2. With innovation as the top motivator, seventy-four percent of organizations are committed to ongoing cloud implementation.
3. Cloud satisfaction keeps climbing as organizations encounter issue resolution, enhancement schedules, vendor communications, defects from patches and the ease of upgrades.
4. The top reason for not moving HR to the cloud is security.
5. The #1 area organizations are hoping to improve is in data analytics.
6. Currently, only a small percentage of organizations plan to leverage PaaS to extend their product, but we expect this number to rise.
