Overcoming Challenges
Prior to the implementation, Samuel, Son & Co. faced significant challenges with multiple standalone applications managing employee data, resulting in manual work and impacting user experience. The company’s US operations, which had grown through acquisitions, used various tools to support HR processes, leading to inconsistent and inefficient processes.
A Single Platform for All HR Functions
The Oracle Cloud HCM implementation, which included Core HR, Absence Management, Benefits, Payroll, and Talent Acquisition Cloud, aimed to provide a single platform for all HR functions. The project scope also included implementing a cluster of Talent Management solutions and the Workforce Compensation solution for both the US and Canada.
Complexities and Challenges
However, the project was not without its complexities. The implementation required the migration of large volumes of data from multiple legacy systems, which had to be carefully cleansed, transformed, and loaded into the new system. Additionally, the company had to integrate the Oracle Cloud HCM system with several third-party systems, including payroll providers, benefits administrators, and time-tracking systems.
Compliance and Union Requirements
Furthermore, Samuel, Son & Co. had to comply with various union requirements, including collective bargaining agreements and labor laws, which added an extra layer of complexity to the project. The company also had to meet country-specific requirements, such as compliance with Canadian and US labor laws, which required careful configuration of the system.
