Oracle practice

Oracle HCM implementation

HCM implementations succeed or fail on three things: the person and organization model, payroll accuracy and security. We settle those with HR, payroll and IT before anything is loaded.

What organizations bring us

HR data is personal, effective-dated and full of exceptions. Each employee has a history of assignments, salaries and eligibility that must carry across correctly. A payroll that is wrong by a few dollars for one person is a serious problem for that person.

We start by agreeing the organization model and policies, then build and test with real scenarios: hire, transfer, promotion, leave, termination, and rehire. Payroll is tested in parallel against the old system until the numbers match.

What the platform covers

  • Core HR

    Enterprise structures, jobs, positions, grades, assignments and workforce actions.

  • Absence and time

    Absence plans, accruals, entitlements, time entry and rules.

  • Talent and recruiting

    Requisitions, onboarding, goals, performance, succession and learning.

  • Compensation and benefits

    Compensation plans, salary structures, benefits programs and enrollment.

  • Payroll

    Payroll definitions, elements, fast formulas, balances, costing and payments.

  • Security and approvals

    Roles, data security profiles and approval rules.

Implementation and migration services

  • HDL data conversion

    Employee, assignment, compensation and balance loads in dependency order, with reconciliation by employee.

  • Payroll parallel testing

    Several parallel payrolls compared line by line with the old system.

  • Integration

    Benefits carriers, time clocks, banks, identity systems and financial systems.

  • Reporting

    HCM extracts, OTBI and BI Publisher reports and dashboards.

  • Security design

    Role and data security profiles aligned with the organization.

  • Change and training support

    Materials and sessions for HR users and managers.

Common use cases

  • Replacing a legacy HR and payroll system

    Core HR and US payroll move together, with benefits and time integrated.

  • Adding Talent modules to an existing Core HR

    Recruiting and performance are added without disturbing existing person data.

  • Multi-country rollout

    A global model with country-specific payroll and statutory requirements added in waves.

  • Post-acquisition HR consolidation

    Employees from several systems loaded under one structure with consistent policy.

Questions people ask

How many parallel payrolls do we need?

Enough to cover each pay frequency, a month end and a quarter or year end if possible. We recommend at least two clean parallels before go-live.

Can you handle multi-country payroll?

Payroll is country-specific. We state which countries our consultants have delivered in during scoping, and we bring in local specialists where needed.
