Shawnee State University is one of Ohio's youngest universities. Its sprawling 62 acre campus hosts over 3000 full time and part time students, providing a range of high quality programs at affordable rates

Challenges:
Shawnee had an extensively manual HR and information system, multiple access and edit constraints, complex third-party vendor integration and delays and errors with basic output.

Solutions:
Switching to Oracle Cloud allowed Shawnee to empower managers and employees via self-service, reduce inefficiencies using automation and facilitate online tracking and timely delivery to make full use of its human capital.

"…we ended up landing with Drivestream® because of their expertise in payroll. But they were way much more than that. The project implementation methodology that they follow, in my thinking, is second to none - and it really ensured our success. [We've] been able to manage our issues, get the configuration and data set up done quickly, on time, and to meet our goals for implementation."
