Situation Before the HCM Implementation

A Mid-Atlantic Water and Sewer Authority distributes drinking water and collects and treats wastewater for more than 600,000 residents and 17.8 million annual visitors to the area. They had been relying on legacy human resources software to support 1400 employees with payroll, benefits, recruiting, onboarding, performance, and learning. The legacy system was cumbersome and unable to scale.

The client sought to improve its core HR functions. Other objectives included:

  • Adopt a modern solution with a user-friendly interface
  • Eliminate HR inefficiencies
  • Streamline and provide a best-in-class onboarding experience
  • Automate talent and absence management
  • Automate offer generation and acceptance processes
  • Automate approvals and reporting

The dedication of team AST was very evident and was appreciated by the client. This Mid-Atlantic Water and Sewer Authority had been relying on its legacy human resources software Ceridian for some time and the same legacy system got cumbersome and unable to scale, but AST successfully implemented Oracle HCM Cloud and delivered a modern solution to improve its core HR functions.”
