The OSCE HR ERP landscape consists of the following applications: Oracle HRMS EBS version 12.1.3 in support of HR/Payroll processes and Oracle Fusion in support of the Performance Management and Learn processes (part of Oracle HCM). The integration of the above mentioned functional areas is automated via an interface which runs 3 times per week and transfers basic HR work structures as well as employee information from the Oracle EBS applications to the Oracle Fusion Cloud based applications.
