A controlled move to Precision.
Four steps, each ending in something you can check. Nothing proceeds on the assumption that the previous step went fine.
Discover
Map payroll models, data and integrations.
Prepare
Cleanse and securely migrate records.
Prove
Parallel-run and reconcile calculations.
Launch
Supported go-live and payday cover.
What happens at each step, and what it produces.
Each step has an output you can hold. A step that ends in a meeting has not ended.
Understand what actually runs today - including the parts that are not in the current system.
Which employment and engagement models you operate, and where each one differs.
What exists, where, and how much of it is trustworthy.
Which systems feed payroll and which consume its output - the usual source of surprises.
Contracts, rates and credit terms, including the ones held informally.
Output: a written map of the current operation, with the gaps and risks named. If discovery finds a blocker, it is better found here than in week six.
Move the data, and clean it on the way rather than carrying twelve years of drift into a new system.
Duplicates, lapsed records and inconsistent rates identified and resolved before migration, not after.
Encrypted transfer with a documented chain of custody for personal data.
Entities, calendars, agencies, rules and permissions set up to match your operating model.
Migrated records reconciled against source counts and year-to-date positions.
Output: a configured environment holding your data, with a reconciliation report showing what moved and what was corrected.
Run both systems on the same closed period, and reconcile line by line.

Go live with the reconciliation agreed, the team trained, and cover through the first live run.
The date is set once the reconciliation is signed off - not before it.
Role-based sessions for the people who will actually operate it.
Specialist support alongside your team through the first live pay run.
A defined transition from implementation to ongoing support, with the same context carried over.
Output: a completed first payroll on Precision, reconciled against expectation, with the implementation manager still present.
What you are given, not what you are promised.
Named implementation manager
One accountable person from discovery to go-live, who knows your operation rather than your ticket number.
Controlled parallel run
Both systems, the same period, reconciled line by line before anybody commits.
Agreed reconciliation
Sign-off on variance. If it is not agreed, the go-live date moves.
Supported first payroll
Specialist cover through the first live run, with your implementation manager present.
