Real-World HR Transformations
Global SAP HCM to SuccessFactors Transformation
Client: A Fortune 500 Industrial Goods Manufacturer
A global manufacturing giant with over 50,000 employees across 30 countries was struggling with a fragmented, aging on-premise SAP HCM system. The lack of a unified global platform led to data inconsistencies, inefficient manual reporting, and a disconnected employee experience, hindering strategic workforce planning.
Key Challenges
- Massive data silos across disparate regional SAP instances.
- Inability to generate accurate, real-time global headcount and talent reports.
- Complex payroll and compliance requirements for 30+ countries.
- Low user adoption due to a poor user interface and lack of mobile access.
Our Solution
CIS executed a comprehensive, phased migration from the legacy SAP HCM environment to a unified, global SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central instance. The solution involved:
- A global process harmonization workshop to define standardized HR workflows.
- A robust data migration strategy using AI-powered tools for cleansing and validation, ensuring 99.9% data accuracy.
- Configuration of Employee Central, Payroll, and Talent Management modules with country-specific localizations.
- Integration with their existing S/4HANA Finance system for seamless cost center reporting.
Scalable Workday Implementation for a Tech Unicorn
Client: A fast-growing B2B SaaS company
A rapidly scaling SaaS company, growing from 500 to over 2,000 employees in 18 months, was outgrowing its collection of disparate HR tools (spreadsheets, a basic payroll provider, and a standalone ATS). They needed a scalable, integrated HCM platform to manage their growth, attract top talent, and build a high-performance culture.
Key Challenges
- Lack of a unified system to manage the full employee lifecycle.
- Manual and error-prone onboarding process for hundreds of new hires.
- Inability to effectively manage performance and compensation at scale.
- No meaningful data analytics to guide talent strategy.
Our Solution
CIS implemented Workday HCM, including Core HR, Recruiting, Onboarding, and Advanced Compensation, in an aggressive 6-month timeline. Our approach focused on scalability and future-readiness:
- An agile implementation methodology with bi-weekly sprints to ensure alignment with their dynamic needs.
- Automation of the entire "recruit-to-hire" process, integrating Workday Recruiting with their career site and background check vendor.
- Configuration of a multi-level performance review and calibration process within Workday.
- Development of custom dashboards for executives to track key metrics like hiring velocity, diversity, and employee engagement scores.
ADP Integration and Payroll Optimization
Client: A multi-state healthcare network
A regional healthcare network with 15 hospitals and numerous clinics faced significant payroll challenges. Their existing HRIS was poorly integrated with ADP Workforce Now, requiring extensive manual data entry between systems. This led to frequent payroll errors, compliance risks related to complex healthcare worker pay rules, and frustrated employees.
Key Challenges
- High rate of payroll errors due to manual data re-entry.
- Difficulty managing complex pay rules for nurses and clinical staff (shift differentials, on-call pay).
- Compliance risks with ACA and state-specific labor laws.
- Lack of a unified system for time tracking, benefits, and payroll.
Our Solution
CIS re-architected the client's HR technology stack by building a robust, bidirectional integration between their central HRIS and ADP Workforce Now. The project focused on automation and accuracy:
- Utilizing ADP's APIs and an integration platform to create a real-time data sync for new hires, terminations, and status changes.
- Automating the flow of time and attendance data, including complex pay calculations, directly into the payroll engine.
- Consolidating benefits administration within ADP to create a single point of enrollment and deduction management.
- Implementing ADP's reporting tools to automate ACA compliance and other regulatory reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have deep, certified expertise across a wide range of leading HCM platforms, including SAP SuccessFactors, Workday, Oracle HCM Cloud, ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, and UKG. Our approach is platform-agnostic, meaning we recommend and implement the solution that best fits your specific business needs, not what a vendor wants to sell.
The timeline varies based on complexity, the number of modules being implemented, and the size of your organization. A phased implementation for a mid-sized company can take 6-9 months, while a large-scale, global transformation could take 12-18 months. We prioritize a "time-to-value" approach, often launching core HR functionality first to deliver benefits quickly.
Data security is our top priority. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, and we follow a rigorous data handling protocol. This includes end-to-end encryption, secure data transfer methods, and strict access controls. Our AI-powered validation tools ensure data integrity without exposing sensitive information, and we provide a full audit trail for compliance.
Our change management services are comprehensive. We go beyond simple training to ensure successful user adoption. This includes creating stakeholder communication plans, developing role-based training materials (e-learning, workshops, guides), establishing a network of internal champions, and providing post-go-live support to ensure your team feels confident and empowered by the new system.
Absolutely. Creating a connected enterprise is a core part of our service.
