| Workday | Oracle PeopleSoft ERP | Workday Financial Management | ERP Financial | ERP | n/a | 2025 | 2025 |
In 2025, MetLife implemented Workday Financial Management as part of a multi-year initiative to update and upgrade its ERP system. MetLife implemented Workday Financial Management to centralize core finance functions and the program replaces Oracle PeopleSoft ERP, organized as a centralized finance technology modernization led by a project team actively recruiting Workday ERP experience.
Workday Financial Management was configured to deliver core ERP Financial capabilities including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, fixed asset accounting, financial reporting, and period close orchestration. Configuration work emphasized ledger consolidation, configurable financial controls, and automated close orchestration to align with enterprise accounting policies and corporate reporting rhythms.
Integration and operational coverage work is scoped to connect Workday Financial Management with existing enterprise transactional sources, shared services finance operations, and external reporting feeds. The implementation targets MetLife's finance department and global corporate finance functions, delivered through phased adoption across finance subfunctions and legal entities.
Governance for the program is structured as a multi-year phased rollout under a centralized project team and finance technology standards oversight. The rollout approach focuses on configuration-driven controls, workflow redesign for accounts workflows and close processes, and staged cutovers to maintain operational continuity during the transition.

| Oracle | Oracle PeopleSoft Absence Management | Oracle Absence Management | Absence and Leave Management | HCM | n/a | 2018 | 2019 |
In 2018, MetLife implemented Oracle Absence Management as part of an Oracle Cloud Applications rollout. The implementation replaced Oracle PeopleSoft Absence Management and centralized absence administration to unify leave policy enforcement across HR operations.
Oracle Absence Management was configured to support core Absence and Leave Management capabilities including absence case management, entitlement and accrual rules, compliance tracking, and employee and manager self-service workflows. The deployment emphasized rule-based eligibility processing and configurable approval chains to align absence handling with corporate leave policy and regulatory requirements.
The implementation was integrated with MetLife's Oracle Cloud HCM and payroll modules to ensure reconciliation of absence balances and to capture payroll-impacting leave events. Operational coverage focused on HR operations, payroll, and benefits administration, with the application serving as the system of record for employee leave and absence lifecycle events.
Governance centered on phased cutover and data migration from Oracle PeopleSoft Absence Management, including validation of historical balances and audit trail configuration. Change management concentrated on standardizing approval workflows, defining HR operational ownership, and instrumenting compliance and reporting controls for ongoing absence governance.

| Lease Harbor | Legacy | Harbor Flex | Lease Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2008 | 2008 |
In 2008, MetLife implemented Harbor Flex as its Lease Management application. Harbor Flex was deployed as a centralized database to receive leases submitted by in-country managers, consolidating lease and legal document review and serving as the primary tool for lease abstraction across the organization. MetLife Harbor Flex Lease Management supports legal and lease administration business functions through a standardized abstraction process.
The Harbor Flex implementation focuses on lease abstraction and legal document review as explicit functional modules, with configured abstraction workflows, structured capture of key lease attributes, and a centralized repository for extracted data. The Harbor Flex application includes document management capabilities and searchable, structured lease records that align with common Lease Management system functions, enabling consistent clause capture and record standardization across jurisdictions.
Operationally, leases are ingested from in-country managers and routed through defined abstraction and legal review workflows, aligning workstreams across legal and lease administration teams. Governance is centered on abstraction standards and review checkpoints with Harbor Flex serving as the authoritative record for lease metadata, supporting auditability and consistent lease records within MetLife.
