| Oracle | Legacy | Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM | Core HR | HCM | n/a | 2010 | 2018 |
In 2010, Ocean Steel reinstalled Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM. The Core HR deployment included a focused reinstallation of the JDE Payroll application module to address long standing payroll processing issues.
The JDE Payroll application module was initially implemented in 2003 and used techniques that required significant manual calculations and offline uploads into the JDE payroll database. Christian Ruby developed cost effective payroll architecture and techniques over several years and implemented them during the 2010 reinstallation, building a brand new payroll setup architecture to operationalize those techniques.
The implementation configured Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM payroll capabilities so that the JDE Payroll application performs 100 percent of required payroll calculations, eliminating manual calculation steps previously handled by the payroll department. Functional configuration emphasized automated calculation rules, pay element setup, and database driven posting to the payroll tables to remove manual pre processing.
Christian Ruby promoted the new payroll setup across the OSCO Group and the rollout focused on operational handover to the payroll department and configuration governance to maintain calculation accuracy. The project narrative centers on payroll architecture, automated calculation workflows, and Core HR application configuration within Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne HCM.

In 2021, Ocean Steel deployed DocuSign eSignature as a Digital Signing capability on its public website. The implementation provides web-based signature capture for customer-facing contract workflows and supplier agreements, aligning the application to commercial and procurement touchpoints.
DocuSign eSignature was configured to support embedded signing sessions and reusable signing templates, enabling standardized envelope creation, signer authentication, and audit trail capture. The setup leverages common Digital Signing functional modules such as signature rendering, envelope lifecycle management, and template-driven workflows to reduce ad hoc manual signing.
Integration is implemented directly on the Ocean Steel website to initiate signing flows from web forms and contract pages, with signed documents and audit logs retained through the application’s native document and compliance capabilities. Operational scope focuses on sales contract execution and supplier onboarding processes, with primary users in commercial, procurement, and legal functions.
Governance centered on template standardization, role-based access controls for signer and administrative functions, and retention of audit trails to support contract lifecycle governance and compliance. The implementation emphasizes centralizing electronic signature capture via DocuSign eSignature and institutionalizing consistent signing workflows across customer and vendor interactions.
