UoB ‘properly live’ on Oracle HCM/ERP Cloud

Posted on July 11, 2019 Updated on July 10, 2019

Over the last 6 weeks the project that I’ve been working on for the last year – University of Birmingham – has gone live with their New Core programme.

New Core comprises a number of moving parts, but front-and-centre of it all is Oracle HCM Cloud and Oracle ERP Cloud. The reason I say ‘properly live’ is this isn’t one of those posts where someone says “we’re live” but it’s really only a part of the employee population or a subset of the modules … this is a big bang deployment of both pillars across the entire University.

The important points for me were:

• It’s Oracle’s largest Higher Education Fusion implementation in Western Europe
• UoB has 17,500 employees and 60,000 customers
• Just on the HR side, it’s:
  • Core HR
  • Absence
  • Benefits
  • Compensation
  • Time & Labour
  • Taleo
  • Payroll
