Starbucks Corporation
The Canadian Revenue Agency required Starbucks to report payroll data, including withheld taxes, for all their employees on a daily basis.

Background
Starbucks has a workforce of over 25,000 employees in Canada. The Federal Tax Jurisdiction in Canada mandates that large-scale employers transmit payroll data and deposit all withheld taxes daily to remain in compliance. ADP provides a service to keep its clients compliant with the Canada Federal Tax Jurisdiction of the Canada Revenue Agency. Starbucks needed to integrate its payroll data with ADP’s service.
Challenges
The primary challenge was to develop an efficient and reliable system that could handle the daily reporting of payroll data, including withheld taxes, to the Canadian Revenue Agency. The solution needed to be robust enough to manage the large volume of data generated by Starbucks' extensive workforce and ensure compliance with federal regulations.

Solution
As a Senior Consultant, we played a pivotal role in directing the development and implementation of key enhancements to the payroll reporting process, which included:
Kanban agile methodology
Implementing the solution in the Starbucks Payroll System using Kanban agile methodology: This approach ensured iterative development and continuous improvement throughout the project.
SAP ECC 5.0
Using SAP ECC 5.0 Payroll Driver: Starbucks’ existing payroll system was leveraged to run their payroll, with enhancements to meet the new requirements.
data integration driver
Developing a configurable/dynamic rule-based data integration driver: This driver was designed to extract, transform, and create a history record to handle retroactive accounting delta.
multithreading framework
Creating a custom multithreading framework: This framework enabled parallel processing of data, significantly reducing processing time.
