Case Study: a large multinational O&G company achieves cost savings and payroll efficiency with Mercans Global Payroll

Large multinational O&G company successfully migrated from their legacy payroll system to a fully managed payroll that created more ease and cost savings

A large multinational O&G company, one of the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas businesses, partnered with Mercans to replace its long-running in-house payroll operation. The company needed to reduce administrative burden, manage payroll complexity across Middle East and Africa locations, and maintain strong compliance and data security while supporting a large expatriate workforce paid in multiple currencies and languages.

Mercans delivered a fully managed payroll outsourcing solution with an online Payroll Administrator Console and Employee Self Service, plus fully automated integrations with the client’s global HRMS and SAP ERP system. Mercans also introduced formula-driven wage types and ran the implementation in waves with extensive testing, parallel runs, and user acceptance testing, resulting in a successful migration, significant cost and efficiency savings, and continued GDPR and internal control compliance.
