Challenge
One of our more common data sources in an Oracle EPM application is Human Resource data, typically sourced from HRIS systems like Workday, ADP, or Paylocity. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), passed by the European Union in 2016, significantly impacts how we handle data for companies operating in Europe. Our client, with a substantial presence in Europe, faces these challenges directly. While there are various options for data integration, not all provide encrypted data. Unfortunately, Oracle Cloud EPM cannot consume encrypted files directly, necessitating that the data reside on the server in plain text format for a limited time.
