ANNUAL REPORT 2006-2007

ORACLE & SODEXO (India)
Experience makes the difference
Oracle software development operations in India employ more than 12,000 people at 21 sites throughout
the country. When the company’s meal coupon system became unwieldy, Oracle chose the Meal solution
of Sodexo, No.1 in the Indian market.
From a complex system with built-in restrictions…
Oracle’s policy was to issue employees a monthly booklet
of paper coupons to pay for their meals at the company
cafeteria. This manual system was unwieldy and diffi cult
to manage. Meal choices were limited by the fi xed coupon
value and the coupons were valid only at the on-site
restaurant. To support its human resources expansion
and increase the meal options of staff members, Oracle
sought a reliable, fl exible solution for use at all its sites.
… to the solution for today and tomorrow
Sodexo, the leading Restaurant Card service provider in
India, proposed to develop and test a customized solution.
The team analyzed the company’s workplace methods
and constraints and propozed a card or a meal voucher.
To start with, Oracle implemented Sodexo’s meal voucher,
a system that has proved to be effi cient and simple
to operate, while ensuring freedom of choice and quick,
easy payment for users. A solution which satisfi es
their expectations today and can evolve with a transition
to card to meet their needs of tomorrow.
