The Salesforce foundation earns its keep

Every HR product we trialled wanted us to change our process to match its assumptions. This one bent to ours. That flexibility cost us months of implementation and it was the right trade for an organization our size.

Pros

Multi currency compensation in one cycle

Too much product below a few hundred employees

It bends to our process instead of the reverse

Because it is built on Salesforce, our existing admins were configuring workflows in week one. No new platform to learn, no new vendor relationship, and our security model came across as is.

Pros

One org chart and one headcount number

Ongoing changes need platform expertise

We have people in the US, Canada, the UK and Ireland with four different leave regimes and four sets of rules. This is the first system that holds all of it without a spreadsheet on the side. That was the entire reason we bought and it delivered.

Right product, long project

No US payroll. We run ADP alongside it and the integration is fine. Just understand you are buying an HR system and paying someone else for payroll, which for some organizations makes the total look very different.

Nine months from signature to go live. That was accurate to the plan and it is still nine months. Anyone expecting to buy HR software and use it next quarter should look elsewhere.

Headcount reporting used to be three spreadsheets that never agreed. Now the number comes out of one system and finance and HR stopped arguing about it.

Configuration means a consultant, forever

We were a hundred and forty people when we bought and it was far too much system. We used maybe a quarter of it and paid for all of it. It is built for organizations several times our size and we should have heard that more clearly.
