IMPLEMENTATION OBJECTIVES
The context at Euroclear
For the past two years Euroclear has been undergoing a
major HR transformation
• The aim of the transformation is to deliver a stronger HR division in support
of the business:
7
Implementation objectives
Euroclear chose to implement Oracle HCM Cloud as one
of the main pillars of its transformation
• Reduce costs of maintaining current PeopleSoft solution which is heavily
customized and internally hosted
• Have a truly global & integrated approach to Performance and Talent
management
• Have a single source of truth for all employee data enabling global
reporting and real BI trend analysis
• Decommission multiple disconnected and isolated HR databases which
led to time consuming administrative and paper-based processes

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
Traditional deployment strategy
Usually Global HR is implemented first, however this wasn’t
a suitable option for Euroclear
• Why this approach was not suitable for Euroclear:
► HR
management steered to deliver added-value functionalities first
► Complex
internal technical architecture (cloud integration)
11
Where are we in our journey
To deliver quick wins to the business our implementation
strategy started with the most strategic modules
• Module by module implementation strategy
• Temporary “manual” coexistence model

Implementation methodology
A hybrid methodology between Waterfall and Agile
provides numerous benefits, but requires continuous
planning

CHALLENGES
Challenges
There were numerous challenges along the way
Challenges
• Timelines expectations
Strategic
• Multiple projects
• Global vs. local design
• Change management
• Simplicity
Functional
• Customizations
• Cloud release cycle
Impact
• Timescales dependencies on numerous factors
• Project timelines and key resources involvement
• Aligning local countries to a global model can be a
challenge
• Training and change management should apply to
everyone
• Mirroring exactly what you have today creates more
complexity
• Some areas might feel like a regression
• Constant changes on project planning
• Data migration
• Reporting
Technical
• Interfacing
• Back to front
implementation
 Maturity of Fusion
• Significant impact on the intended implementation
schedule (trial and error approach)
• Unclear functionality
• Lack of skills and knowledge on the market
15
LESSONS LEARNT
What about Fusion?
It’s perfect for a standalone implementation, but still needs
to improve for a corporate integrated solution
• Fusion is functionally working fine … but technically not mature
► Reporting still highly technical
► Data Migration is very complex
► Interfacing seems not straight-forward
• Oracle reactivity is good, but Support is still in learning mode
• Stability/release management is not yet at par with PeopleSoft and EBS
• Need to train your own people, given the lack of resources on the market
• The Fusion Community is key to support you
• Need strong support from Oracle management (& development)
• Can be used, without compromises, for large organisations as of R8

Lessons learnt
Simplicity is key
• Create a global design and stick to it
• Assess local/regional requirements
• Simplify existing systems with Fusion
• Don’t try and build what you already have
• Communicate clearly the advantages that are gained
• Don’t get hung up on aesthetics
• Don’t underestimate testing

Lessons learnt
Implementing a new system is not a stand-alone project
• Implementation plans should allow for various complexities
► Technical challenges (data migration, interfaces)
► New Releases
► Projects in parallel
• Begin the technical work as early as possible
• Design new processes with the system in mind
• Don’t underestimate change management
• The process design, change management, functional and technical
teams should work together
