About the Client

Shaner Hotel Group is a prominent hotel developer, owner, and operator in the global hospitality industry. The company was formed in 1970 when Lance Shaner, and his brother Fred Shaner, began investing in real estate. Today, they are regarded for their rich tradition of high-quality hotel management services and dedication to meet the comprehensive and complex requirements of their customers. 

The Situation

The London Borough of Lambeth was initially a member of ‘One Oracle’, a shared system with five other London Authorities operating on Oracle EBS R12 which was a very costly, resource-intensive, and heavily customised solution with minimal self-service.
  • Shaner had been using the on-premise PeopleSoft applications for over 10 years that had a severe impact on its change management.
  • They used multiple applications to gather data from various sources. Due to this, it was difficult to maintain accuracy and authenticity levels.
  • They had around 180 entities with different policies and processes. The key challenge was the multi-state implementation of policies, such as absence, taxation, and benefits.

They have worked with patience and dedication to the project and have maintained excellent relationships with all involved. The team worked seamlessly with our change management consultants Socitm Advisory to deliver user education and training, responding to the developing needs of staff as they went through testing and early training. The successful go-live is a tribute to the close working relationships between the Lambeth, Mastek and Socitm Advisory teams.

The Outcome

The Borough decided to migrate to Oracle Cloud stating that it is a robust solution and a step change in terms of usability and user experience, and at the same time reducing costs and internal resource requirements.

  • The Oracle Cloud implementation ensured a smooth transfer of all information to the payroll module for payroll processing 

  • The Oracle Core HR module helped Shaner maintain all staff information, assignments, personal information, including secondary job codes and rates, all in one centralized system 

  • We also automated the complex payroll calculations in line with federal and state rules, including tips adjustment, overtime calculation (7(i) exemption), NRA taxation, etc.
