Baylor University

Application Refactoring · IT Operations Automation · System Migration

Baylor University was operating 17–18 disparate finance, HR, and planning systems with manual processes—new-hire onboarding required up to 26 separate steps and payroll was run 11 times per pay cycle. The university also needed scalable systems to support a fast-growing online education business approaching $37M in revenue and a research-university growth strategy.

Solution

Baylor University consolidated finance, planning, and HR data from 17–18 disparate legacy systems onto a unified Oracle Fusion Cloud suite (ERP, EPM, and HCM) hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The integration redesigned hiring onboarding from 26 manual steps to 6–7 automated steps, reduced payroll cycle runs from 11 to 2, and provided the financial visibility and scalability needed to support rapid growth in online education ($37M revenue) and pursue research-university expansion.

Data flow

Finance, HR, and planning data from 17–18 legacy systems flows into Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, HCM, and EPM; onboarding and payroll workflows process transformed data; integration provides single source of truth.
