| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle E-Business Suite | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2001 | 2001 |
In 2001, Acuity Brands purchased Oracle E-Business Suite and standardized its IT estate on Oracle, initiating a company-wide conversion of its businesses, platforms, and application suites to Oracle. The decision established Oracle E-Business Suite as the backbone for enterprise financial operations under the ERP Financial category.
Implementation focused on core financial management capabilities typical of ERP Financial systems, including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed assets, cash management, and procurement-related financial workflows. Oracle E-Business Suite was configured to enforce a unified chart of accounts, consistent accounting rules, and centralized period close processes to align financial policy across business units.
The deployment operated as an enterprise consolidation, converting multiple business units and application platforms into a harmonized Oracle environment to enable consolidated reporting and transactional processing across manufacturing finance and procurement functions. Operational scope covered company-wide finance and accounting teams and extended across Acuity Brands business units as part of the standardization program.
Governance and process restructuring emphasized centralized financial process ownership, harmonized workflows, and standardized controls and reporting on Oracle E-Business Suite, supported by program-level coordination to convert application suites and platform variants to the Oracle standard.

| Benefitfocus | Legacy | Benefitfocus Benefitplace | Benefits Administration | HCM | n/a | 2019 | 2019 |
In 2019, Acuity Brands implemented Benefitfocus Benefitplace for Benefits Administration as part of a coordinated global HRIS program. The Benefitfocus Benefitplace deployment was aligned with a broader SuccessFactors suite rollout that included Employee Central, Employee Central Payroll, performance and goal management, LMS, compensation, recruiting, recruiting marketing, and onboarding and offboarding modules.
The implementation of Benefitfocus Benefitplace focused on core Benefits Administration capabilities, including benefits enrollment workflows, eligibility rules configuration, plan and carrier setup, and open enrollment management. Configuration work emphasized benefits lifecycle orchestration and employee self service enrollment, integrating standard benefits administration functionality with HR record updates.
Integrations were executed with SuccessFactors Employee Central for core employee master data and with Employee Central Payroll for payroll feeds, and the program included Workforce Software for time and attendance coordination. Those integrations supported data synchronization for eligibility, deductions, and enrollment events across HR, payroll, and timekeeping systems.
Governance and rollout were managed under a Global Project Manager, with a big bang cutover across eight countries on January 1, 2019. Project governance centralized benefits policy configuration and enrollment timelines to align Benefitfocus Benefitplace with the SuccessFactors suite and third party time and attendance systems, and coordinated crossfunctional HR and payroll workflows during the go live.

| Salesforce | Legacy | Salesforce Field Service (ex ClickSoftware) | Field Service Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018, Acuity Brands implemented Salesforce Field Service (ex ClickSoftware) to centralize technician scheduling and on-site service orchestration as part of its Field Service Management program. The deployment targeted field operations and service technician enablement across its U.S. service organization, aligning dispatch, work order execution, and mobile workforce workflows with the companys service function.
Configuration emphasized Field Service Management core capabilities including intelligent scheduling and dispatch, work order management, mobile technician interfaces, service appointment optimization, and service agreement visibility. Implementation artifacts referenced use of Salesforce Field Service features alongside customizations built with APEX and Visualforce, automation constructed with Flows and Process Builder, and component-level UI work using Aura and Lightning components to support the Salesforce Lightning UI.
Integration and operational coverage connected the Field Service implementation to Salesforce Sales Cloud and Service Cloud to ensure CRM and service continuity, with data flows for account, contact, case, and work order synchronization. The program required administrators with three plus years of Salesforce administration experience and practical skills in Apex, Visualforce, Lightning components, and Field Service Lightning to support ongoing configuration, troubleshooting, and enhancements.
Governance centered on process orientation, documentation, and training, leveraging Management Information Systems or Computer Science resources to manage change, author technical documentation, and deliver end user training. Administrative controls included defined admin roles, structured change management for Flows and Apex updates, and emphasis on clear written and verbal communication to sustain operational support for field technicians and service managers.
