NEW DELHI: IT major Infosys said on Tuesday it has signed a deal to help improve North America's largest funeral services provider Service Corporation International human resource operations.

As per the partnership, the IT company has deployed Oracle's Peoplesoft Enterprise Human Capital Management application in SCI, Infosys said in a statement.

The deployment of the application in SCI would help the American company in lowering its operational costs by consolidating disparate HR systems, the statement added.

The application has been deployed in more than 1,500 funeral homes and 400 cemeteries in 43 states, Puerto Rico and eight Canadian provinces.

SCI has grown to more than 20,000 employees with 2.285 billion dollar in revenue and Infosys has delivered an impeccable service helping us to identify opportunities to maximise our investment, SCI Managing Director (Information Technology) John Del Mixon.

The company, which has been a client of Infosys since 2002, wanted to streamline its HR system as it was left with multiple, disparate legacy processes after the company's largest acquisition of Alderwoods Group.

They decided to consolidate systems to reduce costs from operating redundant systems and assume control of HR processes and payroll processing that had been outsourced, the statement added.
