Case Study: Advantage Sales & Marketing achieves millions in savings and streamlined payroll and HR with Oracle Managed Cloud Services

Advantage Sales & Marketing Saves Millions in First Year with Automated, Streamlined Payroll and Human Resources Processes

Advantage Sales & Marketing (ASM) is a leading sales and marketing agency headquartered in Irvine, California, with about 40,000 associates across 70 offices. ASM needed a single, flexible HR and payroll solution to rapidly onboard acquisitions, accurately process a complex biweekly payroll for roughly 35,000–40,000 employees, support a largely remote and seasonal workforce, reduce reliance on an external payroll provider, and ensure high availability and business intelligence to support growth.

ASM deployed Oracle Human Resources and managed cloud services to automate and streamline HR and payroll processes. The solution, implemented in eight months, handled 1.5 million payroll records per pay period, enabled acquisition onboarding in days instead of months, delivered self-service tools and single sign-on for remote workers, and provided 99.999% application availability. As a result, ASM saved millions in the first year, reduced administrative labor, improved payroll accuracy and scalability, and strengthened security and user adoption.
