Spectrum Named Global Winner of the 2026 Oracle Excellence Award for HR Innovation

Spectrum has been named the Global Winner of the 2026 Oracle Customer Excellence Award for HR Innovation. The award recognizes organizations implementing a remarkable vision for the future of work through the application of agentic and generative AI, data intelligence and other emerging technologies.

“This achievement reflects our commitment to transforming how we deliver HR services and evolve the employee experience,” said Paul Marchand, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. “By embracing emerging technologies and putting them to work in meaningful ways, we’re creating a more connected, efficient and accessible HR experience for our team members. This is an exciting step forward, and we’re just getting started.”

The Technology Behind the Award

The recognition centers on Spectrum’s shift from on-premises HR systems to Oracle HCM Fusion Cloud, and what Spectrum built on top of that foundation. That includes the newly launched Agentic Activity Centers and AskHR — a suite of production AI agents built on Oracle AI Agent Studio. These tools serve team members, managers and HR business partners across our 100,000 employees*, making finding and accessing HR-related information easier.

In Our Words

“I’m proud of what our HR Technology team has built, and I’m looking forward to the conversations about what it takes to continue moving this work forward,” said Derek Dreyfus, VP of HR Technology at Spectrum.

“Thank you to Oracle for the partnership and the platform, and to every leader at Spectrum who bet on this vision before the proof points existed,” Derek added. “Recognition is a milestone, not a finish line. The best is still ahead.”

Context on the Award

The HR Innovation Award is one of several categories in Oracle’s annual Customer Excellence Awards, which also include Employee Experience Excellence, Candidate Experience Excellence and individual honors like CHRO of the Year. Global winners across all categories were announced in October 2026, following a regional nomination phase that closed in February and a global phase that ran from July through September.
