Meet You Where You Are
HR technology initiatives don’t begin and end with implementation. Organizations need experienced support when evaluating technology, preparing for change, managing complex implementations, optimizing existing systems, and determining what comes next.
HR Software Solutions provides independent, client-focused HR technology consulting across the technology lifecycle. Whether you need leadership for a major transformation or targeted expertise for a specific challenge, HRSS can meet you where you are.
Make the Right Decision Before the Implementation Begins
Selecting HR technology is about much more than comparing features. The right solution must support your business strategy, workforce, processes, data, operating model, technology environment, and ability to sustain the solution after implementation.
HRSS helps organizations approach technology selection from the business outward—not the vendor inward.
The HRSS Selection Method™
Our proprietary selection methodology provides a structured approach to the entire journey: THINK → DISCOVER → DEFINE → EVALUATE → DECIDE. It is designed to help organizations make an HR technology decision that is evidence-based, business-driven, and defensible.

Deep Workday Experience. Practical Client-Side Support.
Workday is a significant area of expertise for HR Software Solutions. HRSS brings extensive Workday experience supporting organizations through implementation, testing, deployment, optimization, production support, and ongoing initiatives.
Our Workday services are grounded not only in knowledge of the platform, but in an understanding of how HR organizations actually operate and what it takes to manage Workday successfully after implementation.
Beyond Configuration
HRSS helps clients address both the technology question and the business question. When an issue arises in Workday, the answer is not always another configuration change. We help organizations determine whether the issue is Workday, business process, policy, data, integration, training, or governance related—and identify the most practical way to solve it.
Experienced Leadership for Complex HR Technology Initiatives
HR technology projects require more than a project plan. They require coordination across HR, IT, Finance, vendors, implementation partners, and business stakeholders—often while the organization continues managing day-to-day operations.
HRSS provides experienced project management and leadership for HR technology initiatives of varying size and complexity. Our role is to bring structure, accountability, visibility, and momentum to the work while keeping business objectives at the center of the project.
Keeping the Entire Project Moving
HRSS helps connect the individual pieces of an HR technology initiative so leadership has visibility into what is happening, teams understand what is expected of them, risks are surfaced early, and decisions do not get lost between workstreams. We can provide project leadership for a full implementation or transformation, or step into an existing initiative that needs additional structure, capacity, or experienced leadership.

Protecting Your Organization’s Interests Throughout Implementation
Your implementation partner has an important role: implementing the technology. But someone also needs to represent the client organization. HRSS provides experienced client-side leadership that helps organizations maintain ownership of their decisions, priorities, risks, and outcomes throughout implementation.
Implementation projects move quickly, and organizations are often asked to make hundreds of decisions while continuing to operate the business. HRSS helps provide the structure, perspective, and leadership necessary to keep those decisions moving while ensuring the organization understands their impact.
A successful implementation is not simply one that goes live. It is one the organization is prepared to own after go-live.
Get More From the Technology You Already Have
Going live with HR technology does not mean the work is finished. Processes evolve. Business needs change. New functionality becomes available. Configuration decisions that made sense during implementation may no longer serve the organization. And sometimes organizations simply do not have enough internal capacity to manage everything that comes next.
From Implemented to Effective
A system can technically work and still create unnecessary effort for HR, managers, or employees. HRSS helps organizations look beyond whether the technology is functioning and ask: Is it working well for the organization?

Engagements can range from targeted advisory support to ongoing partnership based on the needs of the organization.
