--- title: Oracle HCM goes live date: 2020-09-07T09:51:00+01:00 author: Joanne Hennigan canonical_url: "https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/oracle-hcm-goes-live" section: Blog --- 07 Sept 2020 Company News # Oracle HCM goes live ![Oracle HCM goes live]() The appetite of our teams to rise to a challenge never ceases to amaze. This time the dream team comes in the form of our HR and IT teams, who this week will launch a brand new Human Capital Management System. Nothing so amazing in that you might think? But how about if we tell you this has been fully delivered in just 3 short months, during a global pandemic, 100% remotely. And the virtual collaboration of our teams across 10 countries has achieved it’s goal of connecting all of our 3000 people to the new system. Melody Sheybani, Senior HR Business Partner, lead the project from beginning to end. Here’s what she thinks about what the team has achieved over the past 3 months. “What an amazing experience to be part of a truly 100% virtual project team from the start. We’ve been through design, test and training phases all online to transform our HR organisation by launching Oracle Fusion HCM globally, across all our markets in Kent. This is a truly transformational project. Change management in action. Our HR capabilities have now grown to deliver a self-service functionality to the business, that promotes transparency of data when it comes to our employees and our people, which is Kent’s strength! So proud to be part of this team, and this is only the start!” Geleen Basco, Group Technology Portfolio Manager, lead the project from the IT side. Geleen has delivered many such projects in her 10 year tenure with us, but here’s why she thinks this one was different. “If there is a silver lining to the 2020 Pandemic, it’s that everyone is wholeheartedly willing to extract an hour or two from their crazy schedule to help and support each other in achieving something that will make a difference! The stable Oracle technology framework combined with the strong personal commitment of the project team, including our Appslink partner, are the real drivers of the success of this project. Definitely not a smooth journey. Delivering 100% remotely and on shared resources brings it’s challenges but what an achievement to be rolling out now in such a short timeframe. We are going live globally with ESS and MSS! This is a shining example of our Kent DNA – to deliver no matter how ambitious the project is.” Share this story [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fkent.nzi.me%2Fnews-insights%2Foracle-hcm-goes-live) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/oracle-hcm-goes-live) [X](https://x.com/intent/tweet?url=https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/oracle-hcm-goes-live&text=Oracle%20HCM%20goes%20live) Related Blogs ## You might also like [![Kent Sudlows Acquisition web thumb 1]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-completes-acquisition-of-sudlows-consulting-expanding-into-high-growth-data-centre-engineering-market)Press Releases & Featured Stories [Kent Completes Acquisition of Sudlows Consulting, Expanding into High-Growth Data Centre Engineering Market ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-completes-acquisition-of-sudlows-consulting-expanding-into-high-growth-data-centre-engineering-market)Kent Acquires Sudlows Consulting [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-completes-acquisition-of-sudlows-consulting-expanding-into-high-growth-data-centre-engineering-market) [![Thumbnails 6]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-expands-strategic-presence-in-houston-signalling-commitment-to-the-us-market)Press Releases & Featured Stories [Kent Expands Strategic Presence in Houston, Signalling Commitment to the U.S. Market ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-expands-strategic-presence-in-houston-signalling-commitment-to-the-us-market)Kent's USA expansion solidifies it's commitment to the market [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-expands-strategic-presence-in-houston-signalling-commitment-to-the-us-market) [![Killian Coleman VP of Operations Europe amp UK Kent]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/killian-coleman-vp-of-operations-in-europe-and-the-uk)Company News [Kent appoints Killian Coleman as VP of Operations in Europe and the UK ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/killian-coleman-vp-of-operations-in-europe-and-the-uk)Expanding our footprint in Europe [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/killian-coleman-vp-of-operations-in-europe-and-the-uk) [![Marcello Stroppa Web Thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/welcoming-marcello-stroppa-to-kent)Company News [Welcoming Marcello Stroppa to Kent ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/welcoming-marcello-stroppa-to-kent)Our New Senior Vice President of Mergers & Acquisitions and Corporate Development [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/welcoming-marcello-stroppa-to-kent) [![PR H1 2024 Web Thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-reports-over-1-billion-in-new-contracts-for-h1-2024)Press Releases & Featured Stories [Kent reports over $1 billion in new contracts for H1 2024 ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-reports-over-1-billion-in-new-contracts-for-h1-2024)A substantial success in regions all over the world [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-reports-over-1-billion-in-new-contracts-for-h1-2024) [![New office Vadorada Thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-opens-a-new-engineering-hub-in-vadodara-india)Company News [Kent opens a new engineering hub in Vadodara India ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-opens-a-new-engineering-hub-in-vadodara-india)Continuous growth for Kent’s Global Engineering Centre [Read article](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-opens-a-new-engineering-hub-in-vadodara-india) [![Ro SPA Award Kent Web Thumbnail]()](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-wins-rospa-gold-award-for-health-and-safety-performance)Events & Awards [Kent Wins RoSPA Gold Award for Health and Safety Performance ](https://kent.nzi.me/news-insights/kent-wins-rospa-gold-award-for-health-and-safety-performance)An award by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).
