I was part of the implementation team. Our payroll is complex because we're dealing with multiple bargaining units, each with its own calculations and accruals for pay and time. I think it's fairly easy to administer in terms of security and making changes. It's a web-based solution, pure software as a service so there was no software to install and we just gave everybody a link to access it in the browser. Ceridian carried out our implementation and it took 13 months to get it to our 10,000 users. That included a three-month delay due to COVID stay-at-home happening right in the middle of our project. 

The solution is very easy to deploy and configure. It's not overly complex. 

Unfortunately, I wasn't there during the solution's initial setup process. However, I was told that the setup process wasn't that bad. So, since it was done with the help of a good implementation specialist, there were no issues with the initial setup phase.

I believe the initial setup phase occurred over a couple of weeks. Also, the solution was deployed on the cloud.

The product's initial setup phase was not too hard. The problem arose when I discovered that certain stuff was incorrectly set up in the product. For one of the projects, our company had to be separated from our parent company. We had to inherit everything from the parent company, but the team made some modifications, for which I was not very happy since there were a lot of resource settings to be done.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution’s initial setup is not too hard.

The solution's initial setup was difficult. Also, the solution's initial deployment took around six months.

Setting up Dayforce isn't difficult. It depends on who does the implementation, but we get a lot of guidance. I have no issue because I've done it before, and it has built-in tools to help you implement it. It can be deployed in-house or with the help of a third-party consultant. It depends on the client's requirements. 

We had already been using Dayforce time capture, so we were familiar with the basics of the program. This made the implementation straightforward.
