HCM Platform Implementation

End-to-end Human Capital Management (HCM) consulting and implementation, from initial design to first payroll cycle through stabilization

Talk to us

The go-live date isn’t the finish line. Adoption is. 

Most HCM implementations are scoped for deployment, not for the workforce that has to use the platform every day. When adoption is treated as a deliverable (not an assumption), payroll cycles get faster, HR ticket volumes drop and the platform actually changes how the business runs.  Accenture Edge is built to unlock it all.

Whether you have a platform or are still choosing, we’ve got you covered

Streamline HR as your business scales

A few signals it’s time to act

na
The vendor has made the decision for you
End of support is announced. The timeline is set. The only question is how you move forward.
na
Two HR systems are still running in parallel
Payroll runs. The data doesn’t match. And nobody has a single view of the workforce yet.  
na
Your platform went live. Adoption didn’t.
Employees are still submitting requests through email because self-service was never configured for how the business actually works.
na
Your workforce has outgrown your HR system
The workforce is larger, more complex and more distributed than the platform was built to support.

What sets us apart

Platform depth, a methodology that reduces implementation risk and client outcomes you can verify

IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY
Fast time to value
The Workday Mid-Market Readiness Diagnostic maps your actual HR data, process complexity and integration environment before any configuration begins. Scope is defined by what we find, not what was assumed during the proposal. 
FULL PLATFORM COVERAGE
Three platform options
Full coverage across Workday, Oracle and ADP — with a recommendation driven by your payroll complexity, Oracle ERP footprint and workforce size, not by which platform we know best. 
CLIENT OUTCOMES
Higher adoption
HCM implementations that treat adoption as a configuration question (not a change management workstream) achieve measurably higher self-service utilization and lower HR ticket volumes post go-live. 
PURPOSE-BUILT
Mid-market fit
The implementation methodology, the module scope and the commercial structure are all calibrated for mid-market organizations, not adapted from a model designed for companies ten times your size.  

Know what to expect before we start

01

Define 

We map your HR data, payroll complexity, integration environment and workforce structure before anything is proposed. The implementation is scoped to what we find, not what fits a standard template. 

02

Deploy

Pre-built configuration accelerators and a pre-approved commercial structure mean no lengthy procurement and no standing start. The team that ran the diagnostic is the team that configures the platform.  

03

Prove

Payroll processing time, self-service utilization and HR ticket volume tracked at 30, 60 and 90 days post go-live, against a baseline set before we started. Not a progress report. Actual numbers. 

04

Expand

First payroll cycle clean. Open enrollment running on the new platform. Performance reviews configured for how the business actually works. From there, we expand modules, geographies and capabilities as the business case grows.  

Clear deliverables, measurable outcomes

  • HCM platform deployed with clean data migration, validated payroll configuration and integrated core HR workflows 
  • Payroll processing time measured before go-live and tracked through the first three payroll cycles post-implementation 
  • HR self-service adoption baseline established — ticket volume, utilization and request resolution time tracked at 30, 60 and 90 days 
  • First open enrollment and first performance review cycle run on the new platform, with engagement lead support through each 
  • Post go-live managed services available for ongoing platform support and optimization 

Let’s take the first step

One platform, fully implemented. Your workforce actually using it to move the business forward.
