Integrating Oracle HCM with
payroll systems globally

The objective

Connect Oracle HCM Cloud to in-country payroll systems to guarantee all dimensions of HCM and payroll data are aligned, measurable and maintainable across all entities.

Background

Our Client runs research operations across 85 countries. With over 18,000 employees dispersed across the globe, our Client has deployed Oracle HCM Cloud as the Master HCM system of record to manage Global HR processes as efficiently as possible. One of the most critical business processes is Payroll, which also (similar to many organisations) carries the highest cost factor to the company. With outsourced payroll services, leadership have a desire to maintain auditable control of payroll compliance. This requires a clear global payroll integration strategy to ensure the large number of external payroll systems are fully integrated with Oracle HCM Cloud.
