Benefits of connecting Oracle Cloud HCM to Windmill

Connecting Oracle Cloud HCM to Windmill keeps your employee directory and reporting structure always in sync — without manual updates. When Oracle Cloud HCM is the system of record, Windmill automatically:
  • Imports new hires as soon as they’re added in Oracle Cloud HCM
  • Updates manager → direct report relationships in real time
  • Reflects title, department, and org changes
  • Archives employees when they leave the company
This ensures reviews, 1:1s, and feedback always match your actual org — no spreadsheets, no double entry.
