Situation at AST Before Oracle HCM Cloud Implementation

As a rapidly growing solution provider delivering successful enterprise projects for our global clients, AST’s leadership recognized a need within our internal processes to adopt a cloud solution for HR modernization. AST’s disjointed recruiting and onboarding processes were fraught with inefficiencies and left HR personnel frustrated and overwhelmed with time-consuming, manual workloads. Employee information was stored in disparate locations (e.g., JazzHR, NetSuite, ADP) and employee records, including skills and certification information, were difficult to keep up-to-date. AST required a single source of truth for all applicant and employee information to effectively support HR activities, streamline the onboarding process, and improve both the employee and applicant experiences. Our team had the following objectives for the HR modernization:

  • Adopt efficient, standardized global processes for all employee-related activities
  • Provide a best-in-class onboarding experience
  • Automate offer generation and acceptance processes
  • Automate end-of employment communication and procedures
  • Significantly reduce manual recruiting processes
  • Streamline communication across departments

We expect to realize benefits including enhanced productivity and greater employee satisfaction – all while enabling us to automate, standardize and globalize our people processes and accommodate our accelerating pace of growth.
