ATS/Ascend was a true partner to Michelin. Without their partnership, hard work and expertise, we would not have been able to complete this project successfully. They were flexible and adapted to our needs as challenges very quickly. The whole time it felt we were one team working together. Saad’s leadership was also incredible.

Unfortunately due to issues/misunderstandings on the UKG side of things our initial launch date of March 2023 became December 2023. Alexia was able to work with us throughout the elongated implementation; thank goodness otherwise it would have been difficult to start over with someone else.

If purchasing UKG software, please also budget for an integration/implementation partner IF your organization doesn’t have resident experience/education on the system.

I’ve worked with several HR software partners and none really have the continuity, training time, or patience needed for organizations without high degree of systems/IT/etc. understanding/experience.

The implementation process has to be a two fold process with active participation from both teams in order for it to be successful. The amount of time it takes to work through the process and gather the various documentations can be overwhelming. If at all possible it would benefit the team to be solely or almost solely focussed on the implementation and not their daily duties.

I would recommend the HR/PR/Accounting/ Benefits teams etc have a clearly identified leads with expectations defined firm the start of the project. The current setup for us is quite complex and we will need additional policy updates. Participation in trainings and use of the training videos needed to be higher for our team.

For customers considering UKG I would recommend partnering with a 3rd party implementer and not utilizing UKG internal project implementation. This caused excessive delays, frustration, and rework. In hindsight I wish we had contracted HRMS directly to implement this product for us.

When implementing a new HRIS, such as UKG, TAKE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TIME to do so. Test, test, test! Doing it right to start is easier and more efficient that back-tracking to fix afterwards.

Have them assist early on in the implementation project sooner than later. HRMS seems to be more familiar with the UKG products than the UGK Reps themselves.

HRMS Solutions was fantastic to work with and I would absolutely recommend all UKG clients to leverage a consultant in implementing this software. UKG is a great platform but it is very complex and a consultant is a must during implementation to stay on budget and the timeline to implement.

If I could do this project over again, I would have asked for more hands on attention during the build. I would have asked for more demo rather than sending issues and receiving a fixed response. I’d like to have seen how things were getting fixed as well.

Another lesson learned is that it is necessary to use a partner when implementing. They are so knowledgeable on the projects and systems.

We loved the UKG PRO side of the software, our concerns came from the UKG READY implementation and lack of experienced implementation consultants to work with. UKG was over-budget and the project was late. The project had multiple change orders and the team changed a lot.

The partners Eliza Michalska and Jean Marie Mendy at ATS Consulting are GREAT! They are very knowledgeable and supportive, providing excellent consulting services and developing strong working relationships.

Our experience with the UKG product has been frustrating as the UKG sales team was not transparent about the fact that the new UKG product is actually 2 systems (UltiPro and Kronos) that have challenges between them, rather they sold it as a “truly integrated product” – not as 2 separate systems needing separate configuration that still have issues integrating together. As a result, the system implementation has taken MUCH longer than anticipated, needing more internal resources/time than anticipated.

We were assigned a Partner by the Software vendor. That was not ATS Consulting. The level of expertise and support from that Software vendor was not to our satisfaction. So, we hired ATS Consulting (upon the recommendation of one of my close business friends) and we have made great strides to accomplish the project tasks and nearing the end of the project (Live date-1/1/2023) . ATS Consulting came in with great consultants and has saved the day. We are very satisfied with ATS Consultants’ service and support.
Lessons Learned:
– Do due diligence about the project partner assigned by Software vendor before accepting their service
– Make sure that the project team assigned has the required experience to handle the conversion of the business needs
– Do a Complete analysis before any configuration
– Have Subject Matter Experts assigned and identify responsible SMEs for each domain to implement (this should be responsibility of Partner to maintain)
– lay down easy steps in the beginning before speeding up the project. This will help to keep client team focused and engaged
– Make sure the partner understands that the success of the project is not dependent on client only
– Partner should be proactive to lend support and not be reactive

Communication and patience are key to this process. While our consultant is very knowledgeable of the system and processes, we felt that the communication between us and our consultant could have been better and that she could have shown more patience in certain situations.

Fantastic partners that are willing to step up and help as if they are an extension of your own team! The most important part is to engage them as soon as possible so they can work with you along the way to implement/update in the most efficient way.

In addition to a deep understanding of the software product, the ATS team were also great project partners and felt like team members rather than external resources. They were focused on implementing a solution that met our specific needs and supported our business process rather than just configuring a product.

Basically, everyone has years of experience so there are no challenges that they never encountered.
Also, they give you the best and most honest opinion on what setup best meets your company’s needs.

The consultants were very patient and helpful. If there was a questions in an areas out of their expertise, they were honest in admitting, but still researched the answer with a colleague. At first, I felt my questions were stupid but they made me feel at ease which made me more open to asking questions.

I highly recommend using a partner in your implementation, the goal of UKG to get you implemented is slightly different than ensuring your business is trained/educated and ready for a new system.

I also highly recognize going through a blue printing process with the consultant prior to implementation with a partner so you can discuss any changes required from current state to future state and be prepared prior to the beginning of the implementation.
