A global specialty pharmaceutical company operating across the U.S., Europe, and Asia

Replaced a poorly configured Oracle Cloud system with a robust HCM Cloud solution, including ADP payroll integration and streamlined HR processes
Challenge
Data discrepancies, country-specific processes, manual reporting, and limited visibility into recruitment and retention metrics
WHAT WE DID
Implemented Oracle HCM Cloud, unified global processes, integrated ADP payroll, and enabled automated reporting and actionable insights

PROJECT INFORMATION

The client is a leading integrated specialty pharmaceutical company with a strong U.S. generics business and a growing branded portfolio. With ten manufacturing sites and seven R&D facilities across the United States, Ireland, and India, the client operates a multinational business that requires streamlined and efficient processes to support their workforce and drive innovation.

CHALLENGES

The client faced significant challenges with their HR and talent management systems due to an incomplete and poorly configured Oracle Cloud implementation:

  • System Configuration Issues: The previous Oracle Cloud system had employees incorrectly loaded into the wrong legal entities, causing data discrepancies.
  • Multinational Complexity: The organization operated across the U.S., India, U.K., Ireland, Germany, and Switzerland, with disparate country-specific processes.
  • Manual Reporting Processes: Lack of automation required manual collation of data for reporting, consuming significant time and resources.
  • Lack of Insight into Metrics: The client struggled to track essential metrics such as source of hire, retention, and productivity, impeding informed decision-making.

RESULTS & IMPACT

Drivestream delivered a successful Oracle HCM Cloud implementation, replacing the ineffective talent-only system with a robust, multi-faceted solution tailored to the client’s needs. The key components included:

  • Oracle HCM Cloud: Implemented core HR processes, enabling accurate data management and global standardization.
  • ADP Payroll Integration: Built multiple interfaces to seamlessly integrate Oracle HCM Cloud with the client’s complex ADP payroll process.
  • Unified Global Processes: Designed and implemented common performance and compensation cycles across all operating countries, ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort.
  • Data Optimization: Streamlined HR data into a single reporting platform, enabling real-time access to actionable insights and driving efficiency.
  • Enhanced Reporting Capabilities: Deployed Talent Dashboards and automated reporting processes, providing visibility into recruitment metrics and enabling leadership to identify areas of excellence and opportunities for improvement.


The successful Oracle HCM Cloud implementation transformed the client’s global HR operations, driving efficiency and improving decision-making capabilities. By streamlining data and consolidating HR processes across multiple regions, the client gained significant operational improvements. Real-time visibility into key recruitment and workforce metrics—such as source of hire, retention, and productivity—empowered leaders to identify strengths and address challenges proactively.

The integration with ADP payroll significantly reduced manual effort, eliminating inefficiencies caused by the previously disconnected systems. With easy access to unified HR data, the organization could generate managerial reports faster, enabling actionable insights that drove business improvements.

Furthermore, the new platform established a strong foundation to support the client’s future mergers and acquisitions, facilitating growth and scalability across their multinational organization.
