Emerson is a diversified global manufacturing and technology company. It offers a wide range of products and services in the industrial, commercial, and consumer markets through its network power, process management, industrial automation, climate technologies, and tools and storage businesses.

To take advantage of new functionality, specifically around advanced benefits, Emerson upgraded to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1.

Using the new version of Oracle E-Business Suite, Emerson can now successfully support nearly 16,000 people on a single global instance, independently from the rest of the organization. Further, the company is able to ensure the W-2 forms for 12,000 of its U.S. employees are always current, even as new legislation takes effect. Further, Emerson has accelerated its payroll processes to run one to two hours faster than before—from start to finish.

Emerson completed the upgrade in just two weekends, within budget. It deployed the solution to strategically position itself as prepared to implement Oracle’s next-generation Fusion applications down the road, which will enable migrating the entire company onto one platform. The company also has plans to expand using the solution for talent management, learning management, self-service, and compensation management
