Hiring Was Fine—Until We Tried Onboarding Without HCM

At Avion Technology, we thought our hiring process was efficient—until onboarding delays started impacting our growth. New hires were confused, HR was overwhelmed, IT was misaligned, and the overall experience felt fragmented. That’s when we realized we needed a smarter solution.

We turned to Oracle HCM Solutions to centralize our workflows, improve employee onboarding, and support our shift to a more agile and hybrid-friendly model. The transformation wasn’t just noticeable—it was immediate.

With Oracle HCM Solutions, what once felt like a disconnected and manual process became an integrated, self-service onboarding experience that empowered both employees and HR teams from day one.

What Wasn’t Working (That We Didn’t Even Notice)

We had the right people. We didn’t have the right process.

  • Paper-heavy onboarding packets
  • Manually triggered IT setups
  • Multiple systems for HR, payroll, and benefits
  • Repetitive data entry
  • Delayed welcome emails and misaligned start dates

Individually, these issues were manageable. Collectively, they created friction, confusion, and a poor first impression.

The Shift: How Oracle HCM Streamlined Our Process

When we implemented Oracle HCM Cloud, we weren’t just adding software—we were removing chaos.

Here’s what changed:

  • Automated workflows reduced onboarding time
  • E-signature capabilities eliminated delays caused by missing forms
  • Employee self-service portals answered most new hire questions up front
  • Integrated systems ensured IT, HR, and management were all in sync

Our new hires felt supported from Day One. Our HR team had fewer headaches. Our leadership had real-time visibility into onboarding progress. The difference was clear.
