UPSTREAM · HR OPS STACK REBUILD
For enterprise teams · 500–10,000 employees · $600K–$3M+ HR tech spend

Workday + Lattice + Greenhouse + Culture Amp.
Four people-ops taxes. One rebuild.

The standard enterprise HR stack typically costs $600K–$3M+/yr at mid-to-late stage — and 75%+ of that is wrapper margin over commodity primitives (Postgres, payroll APIs, simple workflow). We rebuild all four on direct billing in one bundled engagement. Payroll provider stays · auditors keep working with familiar GL · your HR data lives in your AWS. One project. One contract. One unified HR workspace.

Bundled engagement amortises rebuild costs across 4 tools — net Y1 reclaim is greater than the sum of separate rebuilds. Plus shared infrastructure: one Postgres serves all four modules (HRIS + perf + ATS + engagement); one identity layer; one audit log; one analytics dashboard.

Bundle vs separate engagements

Why all four at once beats four sequential.

Questions about a bundled HR ops rebuild

"What if…"

Will payroll keep working?
Yes. Payroll provider (ADP, Gusto, Rippling, Paychex) stays unchanged. The new HRIS integrates via their API. Pay cycles, tax filings, employee pay stubs all work identically.
Can we sequence the rebuild?
Yes. Most teams start with Workday (foundational) and add the rest within 6 months. Bundle pricing applies if all four commit within 6 months.
What if we use Rippling or BambooHR instead of Workday?
Same architecture, same bundle price. We rebuild whichever variant of the HR stack you actually run.
What about multi-country compliance + GDPR?
Built in. EU employee data stays in EU AWS regions, US data in US, etc. Localized PTO accruals, working time directives, statutory benefits per country. Stronger data residency than Workday because deployment is fully under your control.
How do we migrate years of HR data?
Full historical migration via vendor APIs (Workday SOAP/REST, Greenhouse API, Lattice API, Culture Amp API). Effective-dated history preserved for audit / reporting; tenure calculations, vesting schedules, promotion history all carry over.
Who owns everything?
You. Code in your GitHub. Employee data, performance data, candidate data, survey data all in your AWS account. Allied retains nothing.
