Case Study: Drake & Scull triples transaction speed with Oracle Construction and Engineering

Drake & Scull Triples Transaction Speed, Cuts Procurement Time from 45 to 5 Days, and Shortens Payroll from Six Days to One Hour

Drake & Scull International PJSC (DSI), a large regional construction and engineering firm operating across the Middle East and beyond, needed a proven integrated ERP platform to support financials, procurement, supply chain, HR, budgeting, and project management for 25,000 employees. The company also wanted to replace paper-based and spreadsheet-driven processes, improve scalability as it expanded rapidly, and run its enterprise systems on a stable, high-performance infrastructure from Oracle Construction and Engineering.

Oracle Construction and Engineering implemented JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Release 9.1, Oracle Hyperion applications, Oracle Solaris, SPARC servers, and Sun Storage in a phased rollout supported by CSC. The solution cut procurement time from 45 days to 5, reduced payroll processing from six days to one hour for 7,000 employees, and enabled faster onboarding in under 24 hours. Oracle also delivered 3x faster transaction performance in benchmarking, real-time dashboard reporting instead of 15–20 day waits, stronger cash management, and better budgeting and planning with measurable gains in speed, control, and decision-making.
