We need to replace our HR and Payroll systems but are floundering. Too many software vendors, too many options (purchase, outsource, etc). We are looking for some consulting to get us headed in a direction by helping us sort out the various options. We don't want a consultant that is tied to any one software product nor do we expect to use this same consulting firm for implementation.
If you have used a good firm or individual, please share what you can. |

We recently went through a huge conversion to bring more than a dozen payrolls with about 80,000 active employees onto a common HRIS/Payroll system. Of the many consultants we used, CDG impressed me the most. They are independent, brutally honest, and had expertise in a host of areas, both Payroll and HR which is a difficult mix to find. www.cdg-inc.com |

First, I'm a technical consultant (www.impacservices.com) specializing in Oracle HRMS, so take what I say with a grain of salt
You might look at regional and/or mid-size consultant companies. They depend more on working well with the client than the bigger companies, and often have better talent. Look for a project manager type to give you independent outlook and possibly stay part time or full time as a project auditor through the project. Next look at consultant groups with a strong HRMS ability. Not necessarily Oracle Consulting or the big 5, but often regional groups with 50-200 consultants. Some of them specialize in just HRMS, such as www.coconutfactory.com. My experience is that these level of companies provide better quality per dollar than the IT body-shops or huge consulting firms. Finally, throughout the project don't be afraid to rate and remove consultants. You'll have to work with the project manager, but if you get a consultant that just isn't up to the job then request that they be replaced. Good luck on your project! |

Human Resources Advisors has independent consultants who specialize in "making order out of chaos." What we do particularly well is lead an organization through simplification of processes ahead of selecting software or an implementation vendor. As you may have discovered, many vendors are "joined at the hip" and not truly independent. You may hear that the "implementation of a specific software package will force you to simplify your process ... a bogus statement. We offer a quickly implemented, straight-forward approach that will save you a lot of money. (mjrhra@earthlink.net) |

How large is your firm (# employees, revenues)? What are your growth projections for the next decade? Where is your HQ located? Where are your employees located? What is your SIC? With that info I may be able to point you in the appropriate direction. schnip@eesipeo.com |

I am currently on a global HR and payroll systems project with one of the largest corporations in the world. The systems integrator this corporation is partnering with is a market leader in HR transformation and has sustantial people resources, in the US and globally, devoted to implementing all the major packages. They are not wedded to one package versus another.
If you'd like more information, please contact: Steve Jandrell at cell# 678-428-3702. Good luck! |
