As organizations continue their journey towards a fully integrated cloud solution, Oracle’s decision to phase out support for the Vertex tax engine has made modernizing payroll tax a critical priority. This session walks through Baylor University’s transition from Vertex to the Oracle Payroll Tax Engine (OPTE), highlighting key strategic decisions, technical considerations, and change-management lessons learned along the way. Attendees will gain practical insight into preparing for an OPTE implementation, including data readiness, parallel testing strategies, stakeholder alignment, and risk mitigation.
