Evosys implemented Oracle Fusion ERP, Fusion HCM, and Taleo Suite for Qatar Cool, making it the first implementation of Oracle's cloud solutions in the entire ECEMEA region. Qatar Cool had been using Oracle EBS but needed a new system as support was ending, so they selected Oracle Fusion. Evosys worked with Qatar Cool from January 2014 to October 2014 to implement the new Oracle Cloud solution in multiple phases. By September 2014, Qatar Cool began using Fusion HCM, and by mid-October 2014 both Fusion ERP and Taleo Suite went live, helping Qatar Cool automate processes and gain benefits like improved financial reporting.

Evosys, a leading Oracle Platinum Partner, announced the first successful implementation of Cloud solutions, namely Oracle
Fusion ERP, Fusion HCM, Payroll and Taleo Suite for Qatar Cool, in the entire ECEMEA region, thus becoming the pioneer in
the next generation Cloud wave taking over globally.
Qatar Cool was using Oracle EBS (11.5.10) as their legacy ERP system. Given a situation that the extended support for the
legacy system was going to end soon, it presented a real dilemma to client whether to upgrade to EBS R12 or move to Fusion
ERP on Cloud. Based on analysis of business process fit, direct/indirect cost benefits and moving towards next-generation
business application solutions by Oracle, finally in 2013, Qatar Cool selected Oracle Fusion (HCM & ERP) & Taleo Suite as
its Enterprise Resource Planning System. Qatar Cool, being one of the Oracle’s first clients to adopt this blueprint, Oracle
recognized them as part of their Early Adopter’s program which helped the client in deriving extra support from them.
Being a platinum partner with a successful track
record of 120+ Oracle project implementations
across the globe and one of the leading Cloud
implementer in GCC, Evosys was the first choice
for the project. Evosys began closely working with
Qatar Cool from January 2014 (Release 7) to
implement Oracle Cloud solution which comprised
of Fusion HCM, Fusion ERP and Taleo Suite.
During the course of implementation, the partner
played a key role in upgrading the system from
Release 7 to advanced cloud version of Release 8.
Faced with an opportunity and a challenge they had not
experienced before; Qatar Cool sought an implementation
partner who had:
a successful track record of working with Oracle and its latest
Cloud solutions
could work according to the projects demanding timelines;
would work collaboratively with Qatar Cool’s business users
and IT in guiding and consulting them towards the best global
practices
Evosys, based on its past experience in cloud implementations, planned the project into multiple phases namely Phase-1
(Fusion HCM), Phase-II (Taleo Suite) and Phase-III (Fusion ERP).
As of 01st September, 2014; the HR Professionals of Qatar Cool began using the Fusion HCM (Release 8) as their primary
HR Data Management System. It was followed by the successful rollout of Fusion HCM to all the employees in mid-October,
2014.
Along with this, Evosys went live with Fusion ERP and Taleo Suite by mid-October, 2014 within record timelines of 16 weeks
and 12 weeks respectively.
Some of the key benefits, Qatar Cool has leveraged till date from its Cloud implementation are as follows:
Employee empowerment by greater adoption of Self-Service outside HR Organization because of simplified user
interface.
Automates sourcing, job applications, tracking and assessing of candidates to hire better suited employees.
Builds a vast pool of talents that can be reused which reduces the cost of acquiring new talents (reduces posting costs,
agency charges etc.)
Automated HR processes, including payroll processing, performance reviews—replacing cumbersome paper-based
procedures to improve traceability, efficiency, and visibility.
Improved financial tracking and reporting through automatic bank reconciliation, group consolidation & eliminations,
automated financial statement reporting based on IFRS, automated intercompany transaction recording with approvals,
systematized budget approval process and paper less invoice approval.
Improved procurement cycle and tracking through paperless self-service procure to pay cycle, end to end visibility from
requisition to invoicing facilitating lifecycle tracking, automated procurement accounting facilitating business
transactions and systemized approvals.
