Oracle received a $395.8 million contract to provide a human resources platform for the U.S. federal government.
The software and cloud-computing company said Thursday the new platform would be the single, government-wide system of record for workforce management, replacing more than 100 separate systems.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management, or OPM, which awarded the contract, expects that consolidating its systems onto a single cloud platform will cut costs to taxpayers by more than 90%. The move also aims to boost efficiency and security for agencies and employees.
"The federal government's HR infrastructure has become unnecessarily fragmented," said Scott Kupor, director of OPM. "This is an important step toward improving interoperability, strengthening workforce data capabilities, and delivering a more effective and accountable HR experience across the federal government."
OPM said the contract follows a competitive evaluation process that included testing and input from agencies across the government.
Under the contract, Oracle will provide the artificial intelligence-powered HR platform to about two million U.S. Executive Branch civilian employees, the company said. The platform is designed to provide a range of capabilities including position management, personnel action and records processing and workforce analytics, with integration to payroll, retirement, and benefits systems.
