HCM Advisory & Vendor Selection Services

Lost in the HR Technology selection process? Let us pave the way!

Choosing the right HCM solution for your organization requires an organized approach. You’ll be assessing current business processes and analyzing key requirements, while thinking ahead to understanding future organizational needs and objectives. You’ll also be organizing vendor demonstrations and evaluating application features, environment, support and price models as well as the vendors’ longevity and reputation.

Do you and your team have the experience, time, resources, and tools to do it right?

Ascend’s Advisory Services are designed to lead your organization through the entire HCM vendor selection process. Our experienced team of advisors provide valuable HCM industry insight and advice to avoid common vendor evaluation mistakes and selection pitfalls. Ultimately, our goal with HCM Advisory Services is to enable your team to make the most informed decision. One size, or vendor selection in the HCM marketplace, does not fit all. It comes down to the best vendor and solution being the one that works best for you and your organization.
