In 2023, EBSCO implemented RadiusOne AR Suite to automate accounts receivable workflows and accelerate payments processing. The deployment targeted the companys AR function under the AR Automation category, centralizing cash application and payments processing that had been executed manually by six analysts prior to the project.
RadiusOne AR Suite was configured for core cash application automation, automated invoice matching, AI based remittance prediction for missing remittances, deductions auto coding, and Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment capabilities. The RadiusOne AR Suite implementation also included a customer facing self service payment portal to streamline credit card and ACH collections and to reduce manual intervention in credit card payment handling.

In 2018, EBSCO implemented SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central as its Core HR system. The initiative targeted HR operations across EBSCO Information Services and supported staffing activities based in the Ipswich office, with additional coverage for sites in Durham NC and Edmonton Alberta CA.
The implementation emphasized configuration of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to establish a single employee master record, position and organizational management, and a company-side compensation framework, aligning with recruiting and HR responsibilities from intern to architect levels. Configuration work supported core HR transactions, onboarding workflows and centralized personnel data used by recruiters and hiring managers.

Operational coverage included HR teams working in a SAFe environment across multiple sites, providing standardized hiring processes and consolidated record keeping.
Governance placed HR ownership over day-to-day system operations, with recruiters and hiring managers leveraging SuccessFactors HCM workflows to source, screen and present candidates, manage job postings and provide timely candidate feedback. HR staff also used the platform to assist in implementing the new compensation structure and to enforce standardized recruiting and onboarding practices.

| Broadcom | Legacy | AppWorx Workload Automation | Business Process Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2017 | 2017 |
In 2017, EBSCO implemented AppWorx Workload Automation, Broadcom software deployed to support Business Process Management for enterprise scheduling and job orchestration. The deployment was positioned to orchestrate ETL content processing and batch workloads that feed downstream sales-facing products, and it was operated by software, systems, and platform teams within the organization’s Agile Release Train responsible for ETL processing.
AppWorx Workload Automation was configured to provide centralized workload scheduling, job dependency orchestration, event-driven triggers, and managed job streams across heterogeneous runtimes. The implementation supported orchestration for Java and C# applications, Oracle-based database jobs, and legacy processing components listed in the environment, enabling coordinated execution of multi-step ETL flows and content pipeline tasks.
The implementation was integrated into a broader automation and data pipeline architecture, interfacing with AWS-based ingestion and processing components such as StreamSets, Kafka, MongoDB, DocumentDB, Flink, Glue, and Athena, and operating alongside Automic ONE and AutoSys Automation within the operational automation estate. Runtime environments included Windows OS and Linux, and monitoring telemetry was collected through existing observability tooling, enabling cross-system scheduling and operational visibility for production pipelines.
Governance and operational changes centered on centralizing scheduling ownership within the Agile Release Train, upskilling teams for platform-level scheduling administration, and realigning engineering teams to reduce cross-team dependencies. As part of the broader automation and pipeline modernization work that included AppWorx Workload Automation, the organization reported reductions in monthly AWS pipeline cost of 40 percent, pipeline runtimes of 80 percent, and a 75 percent reduction in open customer defects following new triage and prioritization processes.
