An honest health check
What is working, what is switched off, what is set up wrongly and what it is costing you.
Technology optimisation
You are paying for far more than you are using.
The platform is rarely the problem. It was set up to copy the old way of working, half of it was never switched on, and the data behind it is not trusted. We get real value from the system you already pay for, whichever one it is. For CHROs, Chief People Officers, HR Directors and Heads of People in companies of roughly 100 to 1,000 people.
Sound familiar?
The system went in. The promised benefits did not arrive.
You have a modern platform and a team still working in spreadsheets. Reports get exported and rebuilt. Managers avoid it. Somebody suggests it might be time to look at replacing it.
Before you spend that money again, it is worth knowing what this one can actually do. In most cases the answer is a great deal more than it is doing now.
- Modules you pay for that nobody uses
- Every report ends in an export to a spreadsheet
- Managers work around the system rather than in it
- Two systems disagree and nobody knows which is right
- The setup copies a process you have since changed
How we help
We start with what you own
Independent advice. We are not paid by any platform to tell you what to think.
We fix the data underneath
Definitions, ownership and structure, so the reports finally agree with each other.
Reports people actually open
One page for the board, one view per manager, and an end to rebuilding by hand.
Straight talk on replacing it
If the platform genuinely cannot do the job, we will say so and help you choose the next one.
How it works
Value from what you have, before you buy anything else
A short review with a costed list of fixes at the end of it.
Check the health of the platform
Configuration, data, adoption, reporting and integrations, against how you now work.
Switch on the value
We fix the setup, tidy the data and turn on what you are already paying for.
Keep it in good shape
Simple ownership, a review rhythm and a team who know how to run it.
What changes
What you get from the platform you own
Numbers that agree
One version of the truth, wherever it is pulled from.
Less manual work
Steps carried by the system instead of by your team.
Managers using it
A tool that helps them rather than something to get round.
Money not spent twice
Value from the licence you already hold.
A clear decision
Confidence about whether to keep it or move on.
Before you replace it, find out what it can really do.
Most platforms are running at a fraction of what they were bought for.
FAQ
Technology optimisation: your questions answered
How do we get more value from our current HR system?
Start with a health check across configuration, data quality, adoption and reporting, measured against how you work now rather than how you worked when it went in. Most companies find unused modules, duplicate manual steps and a data problem behind the reporting complaints.
Should we optimise or replace our HRIS?
Optimise first unless there is a genuine structural limit, such as the platform not supporting your entities, contract types or countries. Replacing a system costs far more than fixing one, and a fresh implementation on the same processes usually repeats the same result.
Which HR systems do you work with?
HiBob, where we are a certified Advisory Partner, plus Sage People, Dayforce, Factorial, PeopleXD, Ciphr, Workday, SuccessFactors, TeamTailor and others. Our approach does not change with the platform, so our advice on fit stays independent.
Why does nobody trust our people data?
Usually because more than one team owns the same field, definitions were never written down, and changes are entered without validation. It is a process problem showing up as a data problem.
How long does an optimisation take?
A health check takes two to four weeks. The fixes are usually sequenced over a quarter, starting with the ones that release the most manual work.
