Legrand
Legrand knew a global HCM rollout would only succeed with the right integration. See why they trusted Epicenter to make it happen.
TechnipFMC had already made significant investments in HR and payroll integrations. However, increasing global complexity began to slow delivery, raise operational overhead and challenge reliability. A different integration model was required to support Oracle Cloud HCM at true enterprise scale.
Programme at a Glance
The objective for TechnipFMC, a key player in the energy industry, was to replace brittle point‑to‑point HR and payroll integrations with a scalable, supportable integration model.
With Oracle Cloud HCM as the global system of record, in‑house, hard‑coded interfaces had resulted in unreliable, hard‑to‑maintain integrations.
By engaging Epicenter’s Integration as a Service model, unreliable integrations became a thing of the past.

The Challenge
Fragmented Global Landscape
Years of mergers and acquisitions left HR, payroll, and ERP systems distributed across regions, all requiring reliable integration with Oracle Cloud HCM
High manual effort
Point‑to‑point and code-heavy interfaces created ongoing rework, forcing HR and payroll teams to rely heavily on technical expertise and manual corrections
Diminishing Returns
Despite ongoing investment, integrations remained brittle, costly to run and difficult to operate reliably at global scale. TechnipFMC needed a fundamentally different approach
The Solution
Integration as a Service
TechnipFMC partnered with Epicenter to transition from hard‑coded interfaces to a configuration‑led integration model using FIT4Cloud, delivered and operated as a fully managed service.
- Standardise: Oracle Cloud HCM defined as the global system of record.
- Connect: Consistent integrations established with payroll, ERP, and identity management system worldwide.
- Secure: Centrally managed integrations employ advanced security protocols to safeguard data at rest and in transit, delivering enhanced security.
- Operate: End‑to‑end integration operations managed as a single service.
Result: A significant reduction in operational effort for internal teams, combined with improved reliability, compliance, and consistency of data flows across regions.
From integration bottleneck to business results
The Results
Operational Efficiency
Manual work was eliminated, freeing HR, Payroll, and HRIS teams from error correction and rework.

Why it matters
TechnipFMC’s experience shows that attempting to manage complex global integrations internally often leads to diminishing returns.
By moving to an Integration as a Service model, TechnipFMC transformed integration from a constant operational burden into a scalable business capability, freeing teams to focus on strategic work while delivering measurable financial impact and long‑term reliability.
