Talent acquisition and recruitment are at the heart of every organization’s growth strategy. Once candidates are hired, a smooth flow of HR and payroll data becomes crucial for onboarding, payment, and compliance. This is where Syntra comes in. Syntra is a specialized ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool that automates the transfer of core HR and payroll data from ADP systems to Oracle Fusion. By doing so, it eliminates manual intervention, ensures data consistency, and saves significant time and effort.
In many organizations, transferring HR and payroll information between systems can be a time-consuming, error-prone task. Syntra bridges this gap by automating data extraction, applying precise transformations, and loading the data directly into Oracle Fusion. This creates a seamless connection between HR operations and financial systems, improving the overall efficiency of the recruitment and employee management process.
In this blog we’ll cover
Understanding Syntra ETL
Syntra follows the ETL process that defines how data moves between systems. It extracts data from ADP, transforms it to match Oracle Fusion’s structure, and loads it into the target environment. During extraction, Syntra collects data such as employee details, payroll records, compensation elements, and attendance logs. The transformation stage reformats and maps this data into the correct structure expected by Oracle Fusion. Finally, the loading process places the cleansed and verified data into the Oracle Fusion system for operational use.
The transformation stage is particularly important because data definitions, field types, and validation rules differ between ADP and Oracle Fusion. Without automated transformation, teams would spend days manually fixing errors and mismatches. Syntra’s built-in mapping logic and validation checks ensure that these transformations are accurate, traceable, and aligned with the organization’s policies.
Important Data Objects Requiring Transformation
Certain HR and payroll data objects undergo complex transformation when being transferred from ADP to Oracle Fusion. The employee master record, for example, includes identifiers, job information, and departmental mapping that must be restructured to fit Oracle’s standards. Payroll data, including earnings, deductions, and benefits, is another area requiring detailed mapping between different code sets and calculation rules.
Taxation details, such as federal and state tax codes, withholding categories, and exemptions, also require conversion to Oracle’s tax frameworks. Time and attendance records from ADP must be normalized so that hours, shifts, and absence data match Oracle’s time card format. Organizational hierarchies, including departments and cost centers, must be synchronized to ensure accurate reporting and payroll distribution.
Together, these transformations guarantee that the HR and payroll data moved into Oracle Fusion is accurate, current, and compliant with organizational and legal standards.
How Syntra Saves Time And Effort
Syntra’s automation removes the repetitive tasks that once required hours of manual effort. It uses ready-made templates and transformation rules that are preconfigured for ADP and Oracle Fusion data models. This ensures that organizations do not have to start from scratch when setting up their data pipelines. The tool includes built-in validation, which automatically identifies incomplete or incorrect data before it is loaded, reducing the risk of payroll errors or compliance issues.
Syntra also supports incremental data loads, meaning only the changes made since the last update are transferred. This approach significantly reduces processing time and system load. Each step of extraction, transformation, and loading is logged and auditable, giving HR and finance teams complete visibility into their data flow.
In essence, Syntra transforms a complex integration into a manageable, transparent process. This helps HR and recruitment teams maintain data integrity, shorten onboarding timelines, and keep payroll operations smooth and accurate.
Key Benefits Of Syntra
- Preconfigured templates for ADP and Oracle Fusion reduce implementation time
- Automated data validation ensures accuracy before loading
- Incremental data loading enhances efficiency and speed
- Centralized monitoring and error tracking improve transparency

Conclusion
For modern organizations, success in talent acquisition and recruitment goes beyond hiring—it depends on how efficiently data flows across systems. Once a new hire joins, their HR, payroll, and financial data must move accurately from ADP to Oracle Fusion to support onboarding, payroll, and compliance activities.
Syntra simplifies this process by automating extraction, transformation, and loading, allowing HR and finance teams to save time and focus on more strategic priorities. With its robust mapping logic, validation features, and audit capabilities, Syntra ensures that data integrity and operational accuracy remain consistent across systems.
By adopting Syntra, organizations strengthen their talent acquisition and HR operations, ensuring that data-driven decision-making supports every stage of the employee lifecycle.
