The “Why?” Why we needed to change: Why we selected Oracle:
Multiple systems of record for HR data globally HCM feeds 25+ custom downstream systems/processes Centralized data processing Heavily reliant on disconnected electronic forms and manual entry Data integrity Why we selected Oracle: Align entire business & HR into one “cloud” Globalize/streamline processes One support organization familiar with the cloud Native intra-module datasets Applications ‘talk’ to each other across the globe
