We are about to embark on two projects:

• Payroll Rebuild/Absence management - Oracle seeded functionality now enables the management of multiple assignments and associated absences. Currently we are utilising a customised solution and need to move to the seeded functionality to ensure that the system is supported and payroll is not impacted.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Gen1 to Gen2 Upgrade - Oracle are upgrading their infrastructure in the cloud which hosts our interface hub and the existing hardware will be decommissioned. The interface hub manages the inbound and outbound interfaces for Fusion. We therefore need to move the interface hub and have decided to implement Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC).
