What's included

What An HRIS Implementation Consultant Does For You

We work client-side. Our job is to protect your outcome, not a partner statement of work.

  • Requirements definition grounded in how your HR, payroll and finance teams actually operate
  • Vendor and partner selection support, including scoring and commercial review
  • Programme design — workstreams, governance, RACI and a realistic critical path
  • Configuration oversight and challenge of partner design decisions
  • Data migration strategy and reconciliation controls
  • Testing assurance including parallel payroll sign-off criteria
  • Change, communications and adoption planning for managers and employees
  • Post go-live stabilisation and transition into business-as-usual support

What An HRIS Implementation Consultant Does For You

Engagement Models And Indicative Pricing

  • Programme assurance review — two to three weeks, fixed fee, with a risk register and recovery plan.
  • Client-side lead — a consultant embedded part-time or full-time across the programme.
  • Specialist workstream — data, testing, integration or security expertise where your team has a gap.
  • Day rate — senior consultants from GBP 750 per day; part-time arrangements are common.

Many clients use two or three days a week rather than a full-time resource, which keeps oversight affordable across a long programme.

Why Client-Side Expertise Changes The Outcome

  • Someone in the room who has seen a Workday go-live from the inside
  • Partner estimates and change requests challenged on substance
  • Design decisions tested against how your team will operate at month twelve
  • Independent: no licence resale, no implementation revenue at stake
