Orange County Picks Oracle's AI-powered Cloud Applications

Nation's sixth largest county moves finance and HR to Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to standardize processes, expand insights, and increase efficiency

AUSTIN, Texas and SANTA ANA, Calif., May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The County of Orange (Orange County), California has selected Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite to help it provide outstanding, cost-effective regional public services that support its mission to create a safe, healthy, and fulfilling place to live, work, and play. With Oracle Fusion Applications for finance and HR, Orange County will be able to increase productivity, reduce costs, improve controls, enhance transparency, and optimize the employee experience.

With more than three million residents, 74 million visitors per year, 34 cities, and an annual budget of more than $9.5 billion, Orange County is the sixth largest county in the United States of America. To improve resource allocation and efficiency as it grows, Orange County needed to replace its on-premises systems, which were highly customized and difficult to maintain. After careful consideration and an independent review conducted by the County Auditor-Controller's office, Orange County decided to move its finance and HR processes to Oracle Fusion Applications so that it could benefit from a single integrated suite of business applications.

"Oracle was clearly the best choice to help our County establish a foundation for long-term innovation and this decision demonstrates our commitment to transparency, efficiency, and financial accountability," said Andrew Hamilton, auditor-controller of Orange County. "With the embedded AI capabilities in Oracle Fusion Applications and our vision for more connected governance, we will be able to better manage resources, ensure fiscal responsibility, and provide exceptional services for our growing population."

With Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), Orange County's 22 departments and agencies can automate financial processes, expand insights, reduce costs, and streamline financial reporting. In addition, Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) will help Orange County optimize HR operations for its 19,000+ employees, improve the employee experience, expand workforce insights, and enhance county-wide workforce management.

"Local government organizations like Orange County face rising costs and growing constituent demands that need to be fulfilled by an increasingly lean workforce. These challenges are exacerbated by aging systems that slow down processes and create more work for employees," said Steve Miranda, executive vice president of Applications Development, Oracle. "With Oracle Fusion Applications, Orange County will be able to increase efficiency, enhance transparency, and provide a better experience for its workforce to set a new standard for state and local government innovation that improves the lives of its constituents."

The implementation will be managed by Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN) partner, Deloitte Consulting.

Oracle Fusion Applications Suite enables organizations to take advantage of the cloud and the latest advancements in predictive, generative, and agentic AI to break down organizational silos, standardize processes, and manage finance, HR, supply chain, and customer experience data on a single integrated cloud platform.
