Frequently Asked Questions

While not strictly mandatory, it is highly recommended. Statistics show that digital transformations are 70% more likely to succeed when a rigorous planning phase is conducted before any technical configuration begins.

Depending on the size of your organization and the complexity of your current systems, Phase Zero typically lasts between 4 to 6 weeks.

Successful alignment requires input from HR Leadership, IT Architects, Finance (for payroll/budgeting), and key Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from your current HR functional areas.

Many organizations have a high-level vision, but Phase Zero converts that vision into a technical reality. It validates your roadmap against Oracle’s specific capabilities to ensure you aren’t building “customizations” for things that are now “standard features.”

For many qualifying customers, Phase Zero is offered as a complimentary or subsidized service by Oracle Consulting or certified partners (valued between $200k–$500k in consulting hours).
