How a Bank Overcame HR Data Challenges with BI Connector

About the Company

Our client, a well-established bank with a forty-year history, embarked on a journey to refine their operations by adopting data-driven tactics and implemented Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM) to streamline HR processes.

The Problem: Overcoming Data Integration Challenges

Despite implementing Oracle Fusion HCM, the client faced significant obstacles. The reliance on manual processes to transfer data from Oracle Fusion to Power BI was labor-intensive and time-consuming, leading to inefficiencies and a higher probability of errors. Additionally, the client struggled with Oracle Fusion OTBI’s 75,000 row limit, which severely hampered their ability to gain a complete view of their HR data, limiting their decision-making capabilities and operational efficiency.

The Solution: BI Connector to the Rescue

After adopting Power BI for data visualization, our client realized they needed a robust solution to integrate it effectively with Oracle Fusion HCM. They explored BI Connector and found it to be the perfect solution. By trying the free trial version, they quickly established live connectivity between OBIEE and Tableau. BI Connector supported complex union queries and was compatible with the latest Tableau versions, instantly solving the existing challenges.

BI Connector emerged as the ideal solution to our client’s challenges by offering seamless connectivity between Power BI and Oracle Fusion HCM, eliminating the need for manual data transfers. This streamlined integration process significantly reduced the time and effort required to access and analyze HR data. By automating the report generation process, BI Connector enabled the client to generate timely and accurate reports within Power BI Service, improving operational efficiency and ensuring that decision-makers had access to up-to-date insights.

Most importantly, BI Connector addressed the row limitations imposed by Oracle Fusion OTBI by fetching all rows from OTBI to Power BI through an automated batch process, ensuring that the client’s HR data insights were comprehensive and unconstrained.

The Outcome: Transforming HR Operations

The implementation of BI Connector delivered transformative results for our client. The substantial reduction in manual data refresh time resulted in significant time savings, allowing the client to redirect their efforts towards more strategic initiatives. With streamlined processes and access to comprehensive insights, the client experienced enhanced operational efficiency. They were better equipped to identify trends, address issues proactively, and make informed decisions to drive organizational success, leading to a noticeable improvement in productivity.

Perhaps most importantly, BI Connector enabled the client to uncover new insights within their HR data, breaking free from the constraints of OTBI’s row limitations. This allowed for deeper data analysis and the discovery of valuable insights previously inaccessible.
