On July 28, 2020 our friendly team celebrated the 10th anniversary of Kertios Consulting in Moscow. The celebration took place in the French restaurant “Le Carré”, where all guests could taste the fine cuisine of Chef Eric Le Provos.

During the festive evening, our employees remembered their first day at Kertios Consulting, whether it was only a few days or many years ago. Each story was special and memorable, but among the most unusual was the first day on the plane on the way to our client in Germany, with the opening of the new office of Kertios Consulting and even, following the latest trends, remotely from the self-isolation.

We even did not forget about a special cake in honor of Kertios Consulting with 10 candles, which we all blow out one by one for the further prosperity of our company.

It has been a bright and saturated 10 years in the history of Kertios Consulting with many successful projects, difficult but interesting tasks that we have succeeded in coping with, lots of business trips around the world, but we have no doubt that all the best is just ahead and after the next 10 years we will gather again on the same occasion!

Since the beginning of March 2020, Kertios consultants have been conducting for the second time the “Oracle HCM Cloud Consultant” learning course. This training takes place in partnership with the French company Fitec, which is engaged in continuing education and professional retraining, especially for IT trainings. Сompared to the course conducted by Kertios Consulting in October 2019, this time we were given much more training days, so we were able to expand the list of topics and include additional modules. As a result, whitihn this course Kertios team will cover almost all the main HR areas in the Oracle HCM Cloud system. The updated program includes the following topics:

• • – Core HR;
  • – Absence Management;
  • – Goal Management, Performance Management and Talent Manangement;
  • – Compensation and Benefits;
  • – Recruiting;
  • – Learning;
  • – Worklife soluations;
  • – Technical setups in Oracle HCM Cloud.

Despite the difficulties arising from the spread of coronavirus in the world, Kertios consultants were able to quickly respond to this situation and began to conduct trainings remotely, through online conferences.

Since September 2019, Kertios Consulting is realizing a maintenance project for Real Estate management module on the basis of Oracle JD Edwards system. As part of this project, Kertios consultants conducted an audit of the system and held the interviews with key users to identify a list of current problems and potential improvements of the system. In addition, Kertios successfully migrated the Real estate management module database to a new server.

The support of the system will supposedly last until the end of April 2020, but now the further cooperation and extending of Oracle JD Edwards maintenance are considered.

At the end of January, our team met together to welcome the new 2020 year, which is  the 10th year of Kertios in Russia. To celebrate this event, we invited the French duo “Eternel” to perform for us and other guests of the restaurant Blanc-de-Blancs.

During the last decade, we participated in over the 20 international projects. Every year we work hard to grow as professionals, we expand our expertise and competences.

We would like to thank our customers and partners for their trust!

Kertios consultants shared their experience in implementing Oracle HCM Cloud and presented our project realized in AfrAsia Bank in Mauritius. Oracle experts also made their presentations and introduced novelties in HR, recruiting and talent management.

At the very beginning of September, Kertios team met with a strategic partner, Oracle Corporation, in which all Oracle HCM Cloud sales specialists and managers in Russia took part. During this meeting there were determined further plan of cooperation between our companies, schedule of joint events and list of joint actions.
