What I love about Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Data Intelligence is the prebuilt artificial intelligence features. I don't have to build anything myself. I can leverage the capabilities that Oracle put in place and work with my teams to adopt those.

Colonial First State (CFS) is one of Australia’s largest wealth management firms, overseeing more than $170 billion in assets on behalf of almost 1 million Australians. Upon becoming an independent entity in 2021, CFS implemented Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM and Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence, putting unified workflows and self-service capabilities in place to improve interdepartmental collaboration and speed up decision-making. The company cut time spent on workforce reporting in half, alongside 15% less time managing training programs. The applications streamlined workforce structure management by allowing for enhanced position control, budgeting, and workforce planning. “We're focusing more on insights and actions, and through that we're getting better results,” says Shenaz Waples, group executive for people and culture.
