Inventory, classify, rebuild. Syntra ETL's paycom report migration engine catalogs every Paycom report and dashboard via the REST API, sorts retire-versus-rebuild in days, and ships Wave-1 statutory rebuilds (W-2, 941, 1095-C, EEO-1, state UI) before parallel-run starts.
A 1,500-employee tenant with 250+ reports built over a decade can't survive go-live with 'we'll figure reporting out later'. HR managers, payroll ops and finance partners depend on these reports for daily work.
Paycom's reporting layer is proprietary. The dashboards employees see, the scheduled extracts payroll runs every Monday, the year-end W-2 audit packs, the EEO-1 component-1 file, the state SUI quarterly returns — every one of them lives inside the Paycom report designer. Fusion's reporting stack is different — OTBI for analytics, BI Publisher for pixel-perfect output, Smart View for Excel-tethered headcount, Fusion Analytics Warehouse for cross-pillar reporting — and there is no automatic conversion.
Most paycom report migration projects get the headline reports right and miss the long tail. The payroll register rebuilds first because everyone watches it. The W-2 audit rebuilds because year-end is non-negotiable. Then go-live happens and the HR analyst can't pull the monthly turnover-by-manager dashboard she's emailed to leadership for three years, the finance partner can't get the bi-weekly headcount-by-cost-centre extract that feeds the budget model, and the EEOC officer can't reproduce the component-1 file the way it has historically been filed.
Syntra ETL's paycom report migration engine prevents that long tail. Every Paycom report inventoried via the REST API on day one. Every report owner identified. Every schedule, recipient list and format captured. Every duplicate flagged for retirement. Every statutory report sequenced as Wave-1. Every analytic dashboard sequenced as Wave-3. Nothing slips into post-go-live discovery.
Six Fusion-native targets, each with a specific use case. Sort every Paycom report into one of them.
Self-service HR analytics — headcount trends, turnover by manager, time-to-fill, comp distribution, span of control. Subject area: Workforce Management, Workforce Profile, Workforce Effectiveness.
Operational lists — new-hire register, termination register, license-expiry list, comp-review status. Tabular OTBI with parameter prompts and Excel/CSV export.
Statutory output — W-2, 1095-C, EEO-1, state UI, pay register layouts. Layout fidelity is the requirement. BIP with RTF/PDF templates and bursting.
Excel-tethered headcount and pay analysis for finance partners. Smart View connection to Fusion HCM with refresh-on-demand.
Cross-pillar reporting that crosses HR + Finance + Procurement. FAW with pre-built KPIs and the source-system warehouse.
Manager and employee in-app notifications that replace Paycom employee-inbox report delivery. Fusion HCM self-service notification framework.
Wave-1 must be live before parallel-run starts. Waves 2–3 must be live before go-live. No report slips into post-cutover discovery.
Paycom REST API extracts every report, dashboard, saved query and scheduled extract with metadata — last run, last modified, owner, recipient list, schedule, output format. Cluster analysis flags duplicates and near-duplicates.
Every report assigned to retire / OTBI dashboard / OTBI tabular / BI Publisher / Smart View / FAW. Owner contacted, retirement signed off in writing. Defensible 40–60% cleanup before rebuild begins.
Payroll register, W-2 audit, 941 audit, 940 audit, 1095-C audit, EEO-1 component-1, state UI quarterly, garnishment register, 401(k) deferral register. BI Publisher with pixel-perfect layouts. Validated against Paycom equivalents to the penny.
Headcount as-of report, new-hire register, termination register, accrual balances, time-card exception register, comp-review status, benefits-enrollment exception list. OTBI tabular with parameter prompts. Schedules ported to BIP Scheduler.
Turnover by manager, span of control, time-to-fill, compensation distribution, internal mobility, EEO-1 trend, ACA affordability trend. OTBI dashboards with subject-area mapping and drill-paths. HR analyst lands in familiar layout.
BIP Scheduler populated with every preserved schedule and recipient list. SFTP delivery channels configured. Bursting definitions in place. Self-service notifications configured for in-app delivery. Paycom report engine moves to read-only at cutover.
Six recurring failure modes and the Syntra ETL safeguards built into the rebuild process.
Without safeguard: W-2 audit rebuild discovers box mapping differences mid-December. Built-in: Wave-1 W-2 audit rebuilt and reconciled to the dollar against Paycom output in week 5, long before year-end.
Without safeguard: post-go-live EEOC officer cannot reproduce historical filing format. Built-in: Wave-1 EEO-1 BIP rebuild matches Paycom output byte-for-byte before parallel-run starts.
Without safeguard: HR analytics dashboards still on backlog 90 days post-go-live. Built-in: Wave-3 analytic rebuild sequenced before go-live, every owner has the new OTBI dashboard URL by cutover.
Without safeguard: scheduled extracts simply stop arriving at cutover and recipients don't notice for days. Built-in: BIP Scheduler populated with every preserved Paycom schedule, recipient list and SFTP target before cutover.
Without safeguard: report owner left company two years ago, no one knows what it does, fear-driven retention. Built-in: cluster analysis surfaces orphans, retirement signed off in writing, defensible cleanup.
Without safeguard: blended-rate, FTE, EEO-category formulas embedded in Paycom reports get lost in rebuild. Built-in: every custom formula captured, translated to OTBI calculated column or Fast Formula, documented for the data team.
Paycom report migration is the discovery, classification, prioritization and rebuild of every Paycom report, dashboard, scheduled extract and embedded HR analytic into Oracle Fusion's native reporting stack — OTBI (Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence) for self-service HR analytics, BI Publisher (BIP) for pixel-perfect statutory output (W-2, 1095-C, EEO-1, state UI), HCM Smart View for Excel-tethered headcount analysis, and Fusion Analytics Warehouse for cross-pillar HR + Finance + Operations reporting. Paycom's proprietary reporting layer doesn't carry to Fusion natively — the SQL behind a Paycom dashboard, the column ordering, the filters, the schedule and the distribution list all have to be inventoried, classified, and rebuilt in Fusion-native artefacts. Syntra ETL automates the discovery and produces a categorised rebuild plan in days.
A 1,500-employee Paycom tenant typically has 180–350 reports in active use across HR, Payroll, Time, Benefits and Talent. Some are out-of-the-box reports (Paycom standard headcount, payroll register, turnover, EEO-1, ACA 1095-C audit, state UI filings); the bulk are custom reports built over years by HR managers, payroll admins and finance partners. Syntra ETL's paycom report migration assessment inventories every report via the Paycom REST API, captures last-run date, last-modified date, scheduled-frequency, recipient distribution list, and runs a clustering analysis to identify duplicates, near-duplicates and orphans. Output: a defensible classification of which 40–60% can be retired, which 25–35% rebuild as OTBI dashboards, and which 15–25% require BI Publisher pixel-perfect treatment.
Statutory and pay-cycle reports cannot slip past go-live. The non-negotiable list for a US employer: payroll register (every pay date), payroll variance vs prior period, gross-to-net detail per employee, headcount as of pay date, new-hire and termination registers, garnishment register with disbursement detail, 401(k) deferral and match register, FSA/HSA contribution register, state-by-state tax deposit summary, multi-state SUI register, Form W-2 audit report, Form 941 audit report, Form 940 audit report, ACA Form 1095-C audit, EEO-1 component-1 report. Syntra ETL's paycom report migration sequences these as Wave-1 rebuilds — every one is live and validated against the equivalent Paycom output before parallel-run begins.
The classification engine assigns every Paycom report to one of five buckets based on usage, business value and target Fusion artefact. Bucket 1 (retire): zero runs in 12 months, duplicate of another report, or content now in a standard Fusion dashboard. Bucket 2 (OTBI dashboard): self-service HR analytics — headcount trends, turnover by manager, time-to-fill, compensation distribution, span of control. Bucket 3 (OTBI tabular): operational lists like new-hire register, termination register, license-expiry list — rebuild as OTBI tabular reports with parameter prompts. Bucket 4 (BI Publisher): pixel-perfect statutory output — W-2, 1095-C, EEO-1, state UI — requires layout-level fidelity. Bucket 5 (Fusion Analytics Warehouse): cross-pillar reporting that crosses HR + Finance + Procurement boundaries. Each report carries its owner, recipients and schedule into the rebuild.
Yes. Paycom's HR analytics dashboards — headcount, turnover, span of control, compensation distribution, time-to-hire, internal mobility — translate cleanly to OTBI dashboards with the right subject area. Syntra ETL's paycom report migration engine maps each Paycom dashboard tile to an OTBI subject area (Workforce Management, Workforce Profile, Workforce Effectiveness, Compensation), proposes the dimension/measure mapping, and generates an OTBI dashboard skeleton that the HR analytics team finalizes. Filters (department, manager, location, EEO category) are preserved. Drill-paths are preserved. The HR analyst lands in a familiar dashboard layout on day one of Fusion — not a blank slate.
For a 1,500-employee Paycom tenant with 180–350 reports, paycom report migration completes in 5–7 weeks running in parallel with the main paycom to oracle fusion migration. Week 1: discovery and inventory via the REST API. Week 2: classification, owner-validation, retirement decisions. Weeks 3–5: Wave-1 statutory rebuild (payroll register, W-2, 941, 1095-C, EEO-1, state UI). Weeks 4–6: Wave-2 operational rebuild (headcount, new-hire, termination, accrual balances). Weeks 5–7: Wave-3 analytic dashboards (turnover, span, compensation distribution, time-to-fill). Each wave validated against the Paycom equivalent before sign-off. Wave-1 must be live before parallel-run starts; Waves 2–3 must be live before go-live.
Yes. A Paycom report isn't just the SQL — it's the daily/weekly/monthly schedule, the recipient distribution list, the file format (PDF, Excel, CSV), the secure delivery method (email, SFTP, Paycom inbox) and the parameter values used at each run. Syntra ETL extracts the full scheduling metadata via the Paycom Reports endpoints, maps each schedule to Fusion BI Publisher's Scheduler with the equivalent recurrence, recipient list and output format. Email distribution lists migrate as BIP bursting definitions. SFTP delivery migrates as BIP delivery channels. Where a Paycom schedule has no Fusion equivalent (e.g., delivery to Paycom employee self-service inbox), Syntra surfaces the gap during paycom report migration and proposes the closest Fusion alternative (e.g., Fusion HCM self-service notifications).
Paycom custom formulas — calculated fields built in the report designer, often used for blended pay rates, FTE calculations, allocation ratios, EEO categorization, ACA affordability — get inventoried, documented and translated. Syntra ETL's paycom report migration walks every custom formula, captures the source logic, and maps to the Fusion equivalent: OTBI calculated columns for analytic dashboards, BI Publisher data-template SQL for pixel-perfect output, Fusion Fast Formula for complex compensation/benefits logic that needs to live in the data layer not the report layer. Approximately 70–80% of Paycom custom formulas translate directly to OTBI calculated columns. The remainder need data-layer treatment and are flagged early so the data team owns them rather than the reporting team.
