--- title: Oracle HCM goes live date: 2020-09-07T09:51:00+01:00 author: Joanne Hennigan canonical_url: "https://kentplc.com/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%2Fkentplc.com%2Fnews-insights%2Foracle-hcm-goes-live) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://kentplc.com/news-insights/oracle-hcm-goes-live) [X](https://x.com/intent/tweet?url=https://kentplc.com/news-insights/oracle-hcm-goes-live&text=Oracle%20HCM%20goes%20live) Related Blogs ## You might also like [![Jaime Sedano website thumbnail]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-jaime-sedano-as-vp-of-colombia-operations)Company News [Kent appoints Jaime Sedano as VP of Colombia operations ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-jaime-sedano-as-vp-of-colombia-operations)Jaime Sedano has joined Kent as our Vice President for our Colombia operations [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-jaime-sedano-as-vp-of-colombia-operations) [![Exceed x Kings Award]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/exceed-awarded-second-consecutive-kings-award-for-enterprise-international-trade)Company News [Exceed awarded second consecutive King's Award for Enterprise: International Trade ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/exceed-awarded-second-consecutive-kings-award-for-enterprise-international-trade)Exceed celebrates its second consecutive win of the King's Award for Enterprise: International Trade [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/exceed-awarded-second-consecutive-kings-award-for-enterprise-international-trade) [![Michael Abreo Web Thumbnail]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-michael-abreo)Company News [Kent appoints Michael Abreo as SVP of Business Development, Americas ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-michael-abreo)Welcoming Michael Abreo to Kent Americas [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-appoints-michael-abreo) [![Kent Chronicle Year End Thumbnail]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/the-kent-chronicle-2025)Company News [Introducing The Kent Chronicle: Reflecting on a Year of Progress, Innovation and People ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/the-kent-chronicle-2025)The Kent Chronicle has been published, reflecting on the successes of 2025 for Kent [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/the-kent-chronicle-2025) [![Carl Titchmarsh SM 1]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/welcoming-carl-titchmarsh)Company News [Welcoming Carl Titchmarsh to Kent ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/welcoming-carl-titchmarsh)Introducing Carl Titchmarsh as the new SVP for APAC [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/welcoming-carl-titchmarsh) [![KDC Social Banner Option 01 1]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/sudlows-consulting-rebrands-to-kent-data-centres-igniting-the-next-era-of-digital-infrastructure)Press Releases & Featured Stories [Sudlows Consulting Rebrands to Kent Data Centres, Igniting the Next Era of Digital Infrastructure ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/sudlows-consulting-rebrands-to-kent-data-centres-igniting-the-next-era-of-digital-infrastructure)Sudlows Consulting is now Kent Data Centres [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/sudlows-consulting-rebrands-to-kent-data-centres-igniting-the-next-era-of-digital-infrastructure) [![Offshore Magazine thumbnail resized]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/offshore-magazine-interview-evp-iain-eddie)Company News [Offshore Magazine interview: EVP Iain Eddie on offshore Middle East trends in engineering, digital twins and sustainability ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/offshore-magazine-interview-evp-iain-eddie)Kent's EVP for EMEA and APAC speaks to Offshore Magazine on Middle East offshore engineering trends [Read article](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/offshore-magazine-interview-evp-iain-eddie) [![Kent Exceed Acquisition web thumb OV]()](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-to-acquire-exceed-creating-a-global-leader-in-decommissioning-sub-surface-and-well-management-services)Company News [Kent to Acquire Exceed - Creating a Global Leader in Decommissioning, Sub Surface and Well Management Services ](https://kentplc.com/news-insights/kent-to-acquire-exceed-creating-a-global-leader-in-decommissioning-sub-surface-and-well-management-services)Kent acquires Exceed to lead globally in decommissioning and well management.
