UKG Previous Solutions

DA
Associate Manager at a educational organization with 201-500 employees

I'm working as a pre-sales lead on Workday's HCM platform. So, my company has three products under an umbrella. So apart from UKG, we also deal with Workday and Cornerstone. I work with all of them simultaneously.

SG
Sr HRIS Analyst at a real estate/law firm with 201-500 employees

We had Oracle for payroll and Taleo was our performance and learning solution. It was mostly on-premise setup, and we had a ginormous team that was offshore. They did all of the maintenance. We were looking for a system that we could manage ourselves. We needed to upgrade or implement a new solution. We decided to do our RFP. We narrowed down our scope of solutions, and we went with UKG. It is more agile.

Senior Manager IT at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

We used Lawson and custom home-built solutions. It was an easy decision to replace our homegrown product, which was difficult to maintain, with an off-the-shelf product.

VP Human Resources at Independent Bank

The previous solution we were using did not fit with the goals and values that we felt would be necessary for us to grow as an organization. We wanted to align with a company that matched with our beliefs and would allow for us to configure a system that worked for us, not a system that we had to work around.
