Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management - IT Not Needed?

At OracleWorld 2011 Oracle Fusion Human Capital Managment was rolled out in a number of sessions and keynotes with the often heard "IT not needed" for customization of the product.  Fusion HCM is seen as the next step beyond Legacy PeopleSoft HCM v9x.

A variety of demonstrations in Oracle Fusion HCM sessions touted the ease of adding data columns to existing Tables and related system alterations.  The 'IT not needed' is a cute marketing slogan, however, as most Human Resource System and Information Technology Professionals know it takes careful planning, development, testing and change management in the system life cycle to implement modifcations that are properly integrated in ERP systems.

Regardless of how easy the system tools are to work with, the process of change still needs to be carefully managed to prevent bad things from happening when modifications are migrated into production environments.  It might be a good idea to keep IT around a little longer..
