We used a third party for the deployment of Meta4.

Meta4 did the integration for us. 

The deployment process as well is useful and easy to set up or configure or build a report because the same as the payroll, you can build any type of report that you need because the database is an open database and you can get the feel of the database.  The process takes a day to install depending on the complexities of the calculations.

I've been an implementation consultant for about 15 years. I have been an employee of a company using e-Mind for about five years. I recommend using a team of experienced consultants, independent from the vendor. In my experience, the vendor project implementation capabilities are sub-par.

Our partner company helped us with deployment. Depending on what is being deployed, it can take three or four people to implement. 

We used Meta4 directly to do our deployment.
