Seatrium transforms HR with digital capabilities and data insights.

For marine engineering giant, Seatrium, its people agenda is a strategic priority. And that’s because the business needs to be able to rapidly mobilize specialized skills to deliver complex projects like oil rigs and offshore platforms.

“Having accurate people data is foundational,” explains Executive Vice President, Cyber IT & OT, Lim Shih Hsien. “In a fast-evolving industry like ours, getting a clear view of our people's capabilities allows us to deploy the right talent to the right projects, drive performance, and future-proof our organization.”

When Seatrium went to market for a human capital management platform, Lim says Workday stood out for its ability to support global harmonization while allowing local flexibility. “We shared an ambition for solving complex integration problems,” he recalls.

Supporting a digital transformation agenda.

People systems now integrate seamlessly with Seatrium’s broader digital ecosystem, enabling self-service and improving data accuracy. “We've gained real-time visibility into our workforce, supporting fast, data-driven decisions,” says Lim. “We can identify skill gaps, plan workforce strategies, and align talent with our business priorities.”

Now that users have AI assistants to help them configure processes within the platform, HR teams no longer need heavy IT intervention to make changes. For example, working on their own, non-technical teams have automated absence approvals and integrated identity provisioning into onboarding, reducing manual errors and improving the employee experience.

Unlocking higher value work.

Embedded AI is also helping HR teams detect anomalies and surface insights, from flagging data inconsistencies to identifying emerging skills. “This allows our teams to focus on higher value work and accelerate our journey to become a more intelligent enterprise,” says Lim.
