| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle NetSuite ERP | ERP Financial | ERP Financial Management | n/a | 2016 | 2017 |
In 2016, Iress implemented Oracle NetSuite ERP as its ERP Financial platform to centralize transactional finance data and support corporate planning and reporting. The initial deployment focused on core finance capabilities, feeding general ledger, dimensions, and account structures used by the Planning & Analytics team and finance business partners in Melbourne and the wider finance function.
Oracle NetSuite ERP was configured to provide the authoritative actuals that drive forecasting and reporting workflows in Workday Adaptive Insights. Implementation work included maintenance and creation of dimensions, attributes, and GL account mappings, plus integrations that pull Netsuite actuals into Adaptive Insights. The Planning & Analytics team introduced automated data audits within Adaptive Insights that are fed by the Netsuite integration and surfaced via custom sheets and Slack alerts, and they used Zapier to orchestrate notification flows.
Operational integrations explicitly included Netsuite to Adaptive Insights data feeds, additional data imports from Workday and spreadsheets, and supporting automation built with SQL, VBA, and Excel PowerQuery for data preparation and integrity checks. A semi automated verification process was established to reconcile key reporting dimensions between Oracle NetSuite ERP and Adaptive Insights, replacing manual spreadsheet based checks and enabling self service comparisons of forecast employee data between plan versions.
Governance and process changes centered on continuous improvement and automation, with the Planning & Analytics team leading stakeholder education, model configuration, and month end automation. Explicit outcomes documented by the team include reducing Adaptive related month end activities from four days to ten minutes, freeing up several weeks of manual due diligence per year, increasing data quality by surfacing missing or inconsistent model inputs and accounting errors, and avoiding incremental software license costs by leveraging existing integration licenses and cloud based solutions.

| Workday | Legacy | Workday Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2015 | 2016 |
In 2015, Iress implemented Workday Absence Management in the Absence and Leave Management category. The broader Workday deployment went live in 2016, consolidating five HRIS systems inherited through acquisitions into a single global platform.
Iress engaged Alight to provide Workday Optimization Services beginning in 2019 and added Workday Release Management support in 2021, creating an ongoing operational model for Workday Absence Management. Alight provided operational support across HCM, Compensation, Talent and Performance, Absence, Integrations, Recruiting, Benefits and Reporting, while advising on configuration of absence policies, entitlement rules, time off workflows, approvals and absence reporting.
Integration work explicitly included payroll and other integrations to ensure connected data and a seamless user experience, with Alight’s integration experts addressing fixes rapidly to minimize downtime. Release governance was formalized through regression testing of Workday releases and staged feature adoption, and the support model extended to round the clock troubleshooting so issues that previously took over a week are now resolved on the day.
Governance and process changes focused on shifting Workday from a passive data repository to an actively managed platform, increasing end user adoption and data integrity through continuous knowledge sharing and feature adoption such as Workday for Slack and enhanced live reporting. The partnership enabled Iress’s lean people team to prioritize strategic initiatives such as recruitment and onboarding optimization while relying on Alight for operational delivery and release management.

| HubSpot | Legacy | Hubspot Live Chat | Chatbots and Conversational AI | AI-Powered Application | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Iress implemented Hubspot Live Chat on its public website using HubSpot Conversations. The implementation deployed the Hubspot Live Chat widget as a cloud hosted SaaS embed, leveraging HubSpot Conversations capabilities for synchronous messaging, automated engagement and contact capture within the Chatbots and Conversational AI category. Configuration focused on chat widget settings, automated welcome messages, canned responses and a shared conversations inbox to centralize inbound threads. The full application name Hubspot Live Chat is consistently used across site touchpoints to drive conversational capture.
Operational scope centered on routing inbound conversations to a centralized HubSpot inbox accessible to marketing, sales and customer success teams, enabling handoffs and transcript retention. Conversation workflows were configured for contact enrichment and to populate HubSpot CRM records, supporting follow up and segmentation. Governance included inbox ownership assignments, templated responses and response accountability to standardize cross functional handling. The implementation emphasizes Hubspot Live Chat as the primary website conversational layer without additional system integrations disclosed.
