Case Study: Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions unifies HR and empowers managers with Oracle Cloud HCM (Oracle)

Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions - Customer Case Study

Cobham Advanced Electronic Solutions (CAES) designs and manufactures critical electronics for defense, space, security, industrial, and medical sectors, with products used on platforms from fighter jets to the Mars Rover. After acquiring five businesses in 12 years, CAES faced siloed HR systems, inconsistent employee data across units and locations, limited cross‑company career mobility, and slow, bureaucratic approval processes that hindered talent management.

CAES implemented Oracle Cloud HCM (core HR, HR help desk, talent management, learning, and workforce compensation) to create a single HR system for 3,600+ employees. The cloud solution delivered one source of truth for skills and gaps, self‑service tools for managers and employees to manage promotions, profiles, and training, and faster reporting (minutes instead of days), improving data quality, workforce decisions, and organizational alignment.
