Oracle Fusion ERP Rollout

Overview

A multinational pharmaceutical company undertook a global rollout of Oracle Fusion ERP to standardize finance and HR functions while strengthening compliance and reporting across highly regulated markets.

The Challenge

Finance and HR processes were inconsistent across global markets, with disparate legacy systems slowing down reporting and compliance efforts. The highly regulated pharmaceutical environment added further complexity, requiring strict adherence to GxP, SOX, and IFRS standards while still meeting ambitious project timelines.

The Solution

• Delivered Oracle Finance and HCM consultants with deep pharmaceutical experience.
• Partnered with a systems integrator for technical build while leading client-side PMO and governance.
• Designed and deployed Oracle BI and analytics dashboards, enabling real-time visibility of finance and HR metrics while embedding compliance controls.

Key Objectives

• Unify global finance and HR processes under a single ERP platform.
• Strengthen compliance and audit readiness across multiple jurisdictions.
• Enable faster and more accurate decision-making through integrated analytics.

Expected Outcomes

• Improved compliance monitoring and risk management.
• Faster financial close cycles and more consistent HR reporting.
• Enhanced leadership decision-making via analytics-driven dashboards.

Project Timeline

• 18 months, phased rollout across multiple business units.

Process

1. Designed a global ERP template with embedded analytics reporting.
2. Rolled out by region, ensuring regulatory localisation.
3. Supported adoption with change management and user training.

Outcome

Oracle Fusion ERP successfully implemented across 15+ countries. Month-end close cycles improved by 40%, compliance incidents reduced by 30%, and executives gained access to real-time analytics dashboards that improved decision-making speed and accuracy by 35%.
