Kristy is amazing to work with. She is extremely patient and knowledgeable. Any question I had she was able to answer concisely and accurately. I have truly learned so much from her in such a short amount of time. I am looking forward to continuing our work together.

The team at Wise helped us through a major transition. We moved from bi-weekly payroll to both bi-weekly and weekly. We lost our payroll manager so they were able to pick up on projects that were started but not yet completed. Our company was also acquired so Wise was able to support us through the transition of breaking our system apart into Ready (for just time keeping) so we could push the files through to our new company’s payroll. They also assisted all of our employees with password resets, and getting into the systems.

The lessons learned that we took away from working with UKG, is that the more you can rely on Wise Consulting to perform the needs of your project, the better you will be in the long run. Not just budget wise or time wise, but also in terms of longevity in case you need future tweaks conducted. When you set something up with UKG, if you find something that needs tweaking in the future and the project is closed for more than 30 days, you have to open an new ticket and sit in queue for a long period of time. Wise has better availability. And they are more apt to set up a project such that you might even be able to make your own tweaks in the future; whereas UKG sets things up sometimes that only UKG personnel can make changes to. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve had some fantastic personnel at UKG that we’ve worked with as well, but it’s the luck of the draw as to who is assigned to your project. With Wise, you know exactly who you are getting, the quality of their work, and they are more readily available.

We were engaged with a UKG recommended consultant prior to engaging with Wise. Had we engaged with Wise right off the bat, we would have been under budget and on time. Wise has been tremendously helpful as we navigate UKG Ready as a UKG Pro-Ready hybrid client. We felt like we were alone and Wise has definitely helped us bridge the gap and move forward with success.

Utilize Wise Consulting early and often – they get things done quicker and at a higher quality than often the UKG employees are able to do.

Ryan is a phenomenal partner and we would like have been shopping for another HRIS had Ryan and the Wise team not worked incredibly hard to make the platform easier and more responsive for us.

One of the biggest challenges was navigating the roles/relationships between the partner (Wise) and the software vendor (UKG) – we had different leads on the vendor side for integrations, banking etc and sometimes it was difficult to understand everyone’s roles/responsibilities/accountabilities. So just get clarity on that during each meeting.

The questions in this review are very project specific, and we have a lot of different projects with Wise Consulting, as we use them for our ongoing HRIS needs. They have been a great partner, always willing to help and provide support on time and on budget. I would strongly recommend them to other companies to invest in a partnership with Wise.

Include an outside consultant at the very beginning of an implementation. Have them join implementation meetings with Dayforce (or your whatever vendor/system you’re implementing). Make sure you have dedicated sources for implementing your new system which are separate from dedicated sources to keep your legacy system and processes running during implementation. This may require additional sources secured from your consulting firm. For example, we secured a payroll processor source from our consultant to ensure payroll continued to be processed in legacy system while we were implementing new HCM system.

The overall project experience was very good. The payroll consulting team is great. We exceeded our estimated budget due to more meetings with UP and third parties than we had initially expected during the implementation.

Before the project began, we would have interviewed consulting partners such as Wise. We used internal Ultimate resources and feel that having a team that had more depth of implementations and experiences would have helped us make better decisions, especially as it relates to integrations (specifically GL and iCIMS).

We are fairly new to Ultimate Software and Becky Logan was the key go to person on all our Payroll year-end processing and some HR issues. She is also my back office person as am not able to access back office. Becky stayed up to date with all my tax reconciliations and was very on point with my 2019 tax closing and W2s. I learned everything from her about year-end and what I need to do throughout the year to make this as accurate as possible by closing. She has been a great help at every quarter closing and my company is looking forward to working with her for sometime to come as we get ready to open our Hotel next year.

Wise was the exact type of partner we needed to help us through multiple unexpected time-sensitive and challenging projects. Wise stepped in on short notice and helped us through a very difficult time. They had a great ability to understand our unique business set-up and proactively suggest best practices and solutions. I highly recommend Wise for any organization, especially those that are fast paced and looking to innovate and transform from a systems perspective. We are extremely pleased with Wise and also very lucky to have discovered them!

Make sure that you always hire an outside consultant when working with Ultimate. Ultimate is not helpful when it comes to making changes.

You cannot go wrong with Wise Consulting! We used them initially to build out our training documentation and materials. They also then came onsite with two individuals to lead a two-day training of our decentralized HR staff. We also used them to train Corporate admins on Cognos report programming and writing – they again had a person come onsite for in-person training! We have also leveraged Wise Consulting twice more to build custom vendor interface files. Very satisfied with Wise!
