Case Study: Ashurst transforms HR and drives global efficiency with IBM and Oracle HCM Cloud

Transforming the HR function to support business growth with human capital management in the cloud

Ashurst, a major international law firm, faced significant HR challenges after nearly doubling in size from a merger. The firm struggled with disparate, manual processes for managing global talent, which hindered accurate reporting, operational efficiency, and the ability to answer strategic questions about its workforce.

IBM Global Business Services implemented the Oracle Human Capital Management Cloud solution to create a centralized, integrated HR platform. This provided Ashurst with a single source of truth for employee data, enabling more accurate reporting, operational efficiencies, and empowering the business to take ownership of its information. The IBM team’s support was integral to the successful migration and ongoing rollout of new modules, helping HR focus on strategic initiatives.
