As part of a broader effort to overhaul federal technology, the Trump administration has named Oracle the partner and awarded it a contract to build a government-wide, cloud-based HR platform. Oracle’s system will consolidate disparate agency HR systems into one platform, OPM said in a statement by Director Scott Kupor. The Office of Personnel Management did not disclose how much the contract is worth.
The final cost for the agreement will depend on the complexity of migrating employee data and security needs, among other factors, the agency said.
Oracle's executive chairman is Larry Ellison, a longtime supporter of Trump and he serves on the president's science and technology council. Oracle's selection is the latest development in Trump's plans to overhaul the U.S. government and cut costs.
Trump at the beginning of his second term in office last year appointed billionaire adviser Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to oversee that effort. Musk largely focused on shrinking the government workforce and left the administration in mid-2025.
OPM, the government office carrying out the Republican president's agenda for the federal workforce, is preparing to revamp the software agencies use to manage their employees.
OPM said in a statement that the agency completed hands-on testing, market research and live demonstrations before selecting Oracle for the contract.
