One Size Does Not Fit All Agenda: Evolution of HCM Technology Implementations and Gotchas Five Approaches to Consider Choosing the Right Approach

On Premise vs. SaaS Implementations On Premise HCMSaaS HCM Design approachCustomization Design for long term Configuration (1 code base)* Design for near term Project methodology Believe it when you see it Waterfall – get right the 1 st time See it and believe it (tangible) Agile – iterate until right Time to valueLongerQuicker Cost to implementHigherLower Deployment flexibility All or nothing deploymentFlexible: Pilot --> Full Deployment Post Implementation Slower, more costly fixes Higher pain threshold before CoR Generally larger change impact Costly upgrades & barriers Rapid, lower cost fixes More immediate CoRs Incremental change (i.e., maturity) No cost upgrades, opt-in functions * Some SaaS technologies opening up architecture to 3 rd party extensions
12
Implementation Tendencies and Gotchas TendencyGotcha Transformational changeOver-whelming user base and under- estimating change impact It’s the way we’ve always done itMisaligned requirements, RFPs, project methods Squeaky wheels and HR siloesMissed opportunities & integration Over-estimating team’s capabilityMarginal on project job and day job Deferring to technology vendor/ partner Leading with technology vs. process
13
System Integrator Challenges The HCM Cloud paradigm shift has not been easy on SIs: Remote/lower cost, lower margin model New agile, iterative methodology Tendency to ‘do what you know’ (on prem. methodology) Reskilling consultants - courses are not enough Make sure your implementation partner has ‘made the shift’!
14
Implementation Approaches for SaaS 5 Approaches to Consider…
15
1. Proof-of-Concept To establish a repeatable process (manual or automated) BEFORE full deployment For broken or net new processes Good for business cases, requirements validation and risk mitigation
16
2. Best-of-Breed/Rapid Deployment Preconfigured ‘best practice’ design deployed quickly, where there is little concern for legacy For those processes needing quick time-to-value ?
17
3. Standard Standard approach for most software vendors To automate an established, usually standardized process (manual or other automated system) Assumes client knows what they want and need
18
4. Process First Advanced approach to drive process standardization, optimization and/or leading practice process design For processes with disparate workflows and/or systems (e.g., distributed organizations)
19
5. Integration First Comprehensive approach for upstream and downstream process integration, optimization and risk mitigation For ‘silo-busting’ and rigorous quality requirements (e.g., 6 Sigma)
20
Choosing the Right Approach(es) for SaaS 5 Factors to Consider…
21
Implementation Factors for SaaS Complexity HCM Maturity Risk Tolerance Readiness
22
Complexity Platform Complexity: Number of Systems On-premise, SaaS, Hybrid Number/Type of Integrations Languages/Globalization Licensing Terms/Schedule Process Complexity: Process Variance Standardization & Adoption Number of Sub-processes Compliance/Regulatory
23
HCM Maturity (by Process) Goal: Triage & Compliance Goal: Consistency & Effectiveness Goal: Efficiency Goal: Optimization & Integration… Goal: Talent-based Advantage
24
Risk Tolerance Continuous Improvement Transformational High Risk Risk of failure: 5 – 10% Risk of failure: 20 – 35% Risk of failure: 35 – 50%+ Incremental Risk of failure: 10 – 20% Change Mgmt. Investment* Implementation Risk 0 5 - 10% 10 – 17.5% 17.5 - 25%+ 0 – 5% * % Project Budget to Add for CM/C SaaS On- Premise Common Implementation Risks Change Impact on Users Compressed Schedule Competing Initiatives History of Failed Implementations Resource Gaps (Team, Budget) Insufficient Motivation for Change
