WASHINGTON, June ‌10 (Reuters) - President ​Donald ​Trump's administration has awarded Oracle a contract to provide a U.S. government-wide HR platform, according to ‌a statement, making the company a partner in its ⁠effort to overhaul federal technology systems.

Oracle will provide a cloud-based HR platform ‌to replace the individual ‌systems of agencies, Office of Personnel Management Director Scott Kupor said in a statement on Wednesday. OPM is the ​federal government's HR office. OPM did not provide the total value of the contract.

Oracle's executive chairman is Larry ⁠Ellison, a longtime supporter of Trump. Ellison 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.

Oracle did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

OPM said in a statement ‌that the agency completed hands-on testing, market research and live demonstrations before selecting Oracle for ‌the contract. The final cost for the agreement will depend ⁠on the complexity of migrating ‌employee data and ​security needs, among other factors, the agency said.
