Case Study: National Instruments gains HR visibility and accelerates growth with Oracle Cloud HCM

National Instruments Gains Insight and Supports Business Expansion With Oracle HCM

National Instruments (NI), a maker of test equipment and virtual instrumentation software used across robotics, genomics, renewable energy and more, needed better visibility into global headcount and skills, faster and more flexible HR reporting, and a way to preserve its culture while scaling toward rapid revenue growth. The company also wanted HR to act as a proactive business partner without adding ongoing burden to HR or IT teams.

NI implemented Oracle Cloud HCM (integrated with Oracle E-Business Suite and third‑party payroll) to modernize and simplify its HR infrastructure. The solution created a single source of HR data, cut headcount reporting from six weeks to one day, enabled faster configuration (adding fields in 30 minutes without IT), improved recruiting and merit-planning agility, and gave leaders clearer insight to optimize staffing while preserving company culture.
