Client Background
Client: Orient Cement, part of the CK Birla Group
Industry: Manufacturing & HiTech
Area of Operation: India
Products: Cement
Employees: More than 900
Challenge
At Orient Cement, Human Resource (HR) processes were manual, decentralized and managed by HR Business Partners (HRBPs); leading to dependencies, unreliable and inconsistent data, and non-availability of timely reports. A lack of data transparency and process decentralization across the group resulted in a limited insight into Orient Cement’s business needs and workforce skills.
In addition, processes like performance appraisal and recruitment were not streamlined due to lack of an updated HR Information System (HRIS). There was no provision for the workforce to focus on the right business objectives, update them on a regular basis, and receive timely feedback. Compensation processes were maintained manually, leading to inaccurate and inconsistent compensation data.
Solution
Wipro implemented SAP SuccessFactors HCM BizX suite, an integrated and robust best-in-class HCM Cloud solution, including industry-best practices to overcome the hurdles of the client’s manual and disconnected HR processes.
Business Impact
Implementation of SAP SuccessFactors helped Orient Cement bring the workforce closer to the organization’s strategic business objectives, improve decision-making, and attract, develop and retain the right talent. Orient Cement now has a centralized HRIS system that is scalable and reliable.
SAP SuccessFactors is a one-stop solution adding value to all our HR processes, including talent acquisition and management, performance and goal management, and centralization of data to bring in transparency and provide a user-friendly experience. I would like to thank Wipro, our strategic partner, for their support and commitment and the significant efforts put in to deliver this HR transformation project on schedule.
