| OneSource Virtual | Legacy | OneSource Virtual AP Automation | AP Automation | ERP | n/a | 2021 | 2021 |
In 2021, Hulu implemented OneSource Virtual AP Automation to centralize and scale accounts payable processing, aligning AP Automation with their Workday financial record. The deployment targeted a high-volume invoice environment, roughly 3,000 invoices per month, and resulted in OneSource Virtual processing over 75 percent of Hulu invoices as part of the service model.
OneSource Virtual AP Automation was configured to provide enhanced invoice imaging, full invoice coding, and Workday fulfillment services, enabling automated invoice capture, coding, and exception handling workflows. The service-first approach removed the need for an additional standalone AP software, delivering invoice processing, vendor setup support, and transaction staging directly into the enterprise system of record.
Operational integration centered on Workday, with OneSource Virtual uploading invoice documents and associated email communications into Workday to preserve a single financial system of record tied to HR. Hulu retained existing email aliases to minimize supplier disruption, and OSV communicated items that could not be processed back to internal stakeholders and vendors, preserving end to end traceability.
Governance and rollout included standing weekly enablement meetings, continuous communication between OSV and Hulu AP leadership, and a shift in AP team responsibilities. The internal team of a manager, four staff members, and three contractors moved away from repetitive data entry toward exception resolution, vendor maintenance, monthly reconciliations, and 1099 and 1042 management, reflecting process and role restructuring.
Outcomes explicitly reported include elimination of more than 75 percent of Hulu’s manual data entry processing and a significant reduction in temporary staffing needs, with more invoices entered per day through the AP Automation service. Employees were redeployed to higher value accounting and procurement tasks, while invoice imaging, coding, and Workday fulfillment standardized operational auditability and supplier communication.

| Sterling Talent Solutions | Legacy | Sterling Background Check | BackGround Screening | HCM | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Hulu implemented Sterling Background Check as its BackGround Screening solution to centralize pre-employment screening and compliance within HR onboarding. The implementation was integrated into HR operations supporting Hulu staff in Santa Monica, CA and aligned Sterling Background Check to core onboarding workflows and compliance oversight.
Configuration focused on candidate background screens, adjudication workflows, and screening result review processes. Hulu used Sterling Background Check to review background screens for all new hires and to record compliance status, while coordinating reverification and visa updates through established adjudication steps.
Sterling Background Check was integrated with Workday HRIS for new hire processing and document management, and with E-Verify for I-9 completion and work authorization verification, reflecting an operational link between BackGround Screening, Workday, and E-Verify. The HR Operations Coordinator served as a primary contact point for system-driven screening results and coordinated with Disneys GHRO team during and after the integration period.
Governance encompassed designated HR contacts for screening oversight, routine data integrity audits, working with process owners to resolve screening and data issues, and supporting annual audits and ad hoc process improvement projects. The implementation also intersected with adjacent HR processes, including payroll backup responsibilities, paycheck distribution, federal and state employment reporting, system testing for major changes, and invoice review.

| Salesforce | Legacy | Salesforce Field Service (ex ClickSoftware) | Field Service Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2018 | 2018 |
In 2018 Hulu implemented Salesforce Field Service (ex ClickSoftware) to formalize field operations and establish multi-level service territories. The implementation used Field Service Lightning setup to model nested territory hierarchies and to centralize assignments across site, regional, and functional boundaries within the Field Service Management domain.
The deployment configured core Field Service Management capabilities including territory management, work order management, scheduling and dispatch, service appointments, skills based technician assignment, and the mobile technician application. Salesforce Field Service (ex ClickSoftware) was configured to support rule driven assignment and service appointment orchestration consistent with standard field service workflows.
Operational coverage focused on field operations and facilities management teams, with territory definitions aligned to both geographic regions and organizational service groups. Governance was established through role based access, territory assignment rules, and administrative controls to manage territory boundaries and assignment policies.
Rollout was executed as a staged territory configuration, enabling incremental activation of nested territories and validation of scheduling rules prior to broader adoption. Ongoing operational management centered on territory maintenance and configuration governance within the Salesforce Field Service platform.
