HCM Market Presents Significant Prospects
Enterprises have been rapidly adopting HCM solutions to boost HR functions and drive deeper and actionable insights before the pandemic. However, there is an increased requirement for HCM offerings to manage distributed workforce owing to remote work trend induced by the coronavirus crisis, at present. This is providing further momentum to the HCM market.
These projections bode well for Oracle. The company’s HCM cloud is widely being adopted by organizations, as part of an ERP cloud application suite. Further, the migration of several large-scale SAP clients to Fusion ERP cloud and Fusion HCM is an upside.
The company’s growing customer base is enabling it to maintain leading position in cloud HCM and ERP market. Management is optimistic regarding the latest Fusion Cloud HCM deals wins from Home Office (UK), Abdul Latif Jameel Enterprises, and Federated Co-operatives Limited.

A select few stocks could skyrocket the most as rollout accelerates for this new tech. Early investors could see gains similar to buying Microsoft in the 1990s. Zacks’ just-released special report reveals 8 stocks to watch. The report is only available for a limited time.
