| Oracle | Oracle E-Business Suite | Oracle Cloud ERP | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2021 | 2022 |
In 2021 BlackRock migrated from Oracle E-Business Suite to Oracle Cloud ERP as part of a Finance Transformation Initiative. The Oracle Cloud ERP deployment is categorized as ERP Financial and was positioned to centralize general ledger controls and consolidation workflows across the firm.
The implementation focused on financial modules and data consolidation capabilities, with explicit work on general ledger data validation and master data reconciliation. Teams consolidated and compiled data from several systems, ensuring integrity against master data sources and mapping Oracle GL feeds into the cloud SaaS ledger, while coordinating mappings between HFM and FCCS for consolidation data flows.
Integrations were executed between on-premises financial systems and cloud consolidation services, specifically ensuring data migration and conversion consistency from HFM to FCCS and from Oracle GL to the Oracle Cloud ERP SaaS environment. The operational scope centered on Finance functions, with concentrated project activity in New York, NY between March 2022 and July 2022 supporting month end processes and ongoing business systems tasks.
Governance and quality controls included spearheading data conversions, formal data migration and validation processes, performing user acceptance testing and drafting test plans, and producing summarized visualizations for project review. Project responsibilities extended to ad hoc finance projects and month end related activities, maintaining data fidelity during the transition to Oracle Cloud ERP.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018, BlackRock implemented Workday Absence Management as part of a global Absence and Leave Management rollout, completing initial Workday HCM implementation and configuration within a ten month program. The deployment was positioned to globally standardize absence and time off processes and provide process efficiency across the firm.
Workday Absence Management was configured to deliver global time off and leave of absence capabilities, and the program included a firm wide Time tracking module install for HR. The implementation team performed functional design, configuration, testing, and global training, with the Workday Functional Lead role maintained for Human Capital Management and Absence Management.
Integrations and operational coverage included an enterprise COVID inspired application to capture alternate work location selection, approval workflows, and an interface with payroll to surface location data. The rollout was executed at firm wide scale with explicit HR operational ownership and cross functional touch points into payroll and legal.
Governance encompassed co management of the vendor relationship with Collaborative Solutions, inclusion of legal for contract and statement of work negotiations, and close partnership with Collaborative Solutions on resource allocation, staffing, and project planning. Post implementation governance work included partnering with audit to revise HR audit plans in light of Workday capabilities, and ongoing functional leadership to sustain standardized absence and leave processes.

| IBM | Legacy | IBM Maximo | Enterprise Asset Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2016 | 2016 |
In 2016 BlackRock implemented IBM Maximo for Enterprise Asset Management to enable portfolio managers to perform asset allocation against predetermined investment portfolios defined by employees and individual investors, using time frame, appreciation targets, available funds and investor risk tolerance as inputs. The engagement centered on delivering smart asset management capabilities within IBM Maximo to support portfolio and investment operations rather than a front-end retail experience.
Configuration work emphasized asset registry and lifecycle controls, work order orchestration, and preventive maintenance and inspection workflows consistent with Enterprise Asset Management practices. The team produced system specifications and UML models using Rational Rose and Visio, created mockup screens, and assembled a work breakdown structure to allocate tasks and drive iterative deliveries in an Agile Scrum cadence.
Integrations and technical operations included ETL and data warehousing patterns using Informatica and SQL Server, promotion of Informatica objects across Development, UAT and Production environments, and operational reporting with Crystal Reports. Testing and release controls used Load Runner for performance validation and Clear Case for change and configuration management, while ServiceNow system configuration and on-going ServiceNow maintenance were part of the broader platform governance activities. Parallel workstreams included moving specific business functionality from Scout into Salesforce CRM and administering users, public groups, profiles and roles within Salesforce.
Project governance incorporated formal test planning and User Acceptance Testing, cross-training of team members and end users, incident reporting and change control procedures, and regular cost-benefit and risk assessments to advise business units. The Sr. Business Analyst role functioned as a bridge between the project manager, subject matter experts and stakeholder groups, capturing requirements through targeted SME questionnaires and conducting GAP analysis to define as-is and to-be processes.
Operational coverage touched portfolio management, investment operations, and IT service functions, with responsibilities extending to on-going enhancement and maintenance of the platform. IBM Maximo served as the Enterprise Asset Management anchor for these capabilities, supported by data warehouse feeds, ETL orchestration and governed release cycles.
