SAVE WEEKS OF TIME

Axia Checklists enable you to specify your new HR and Payroll systems requirements, RFI’s, RFP’s up to ten times faster than traditional methods. Virtually all the functional systems requirements are listed - all you do is score those needed. You don’t have to think up your requirements from scratch.

No matter how complex your future HR and Payroll systems needs, the Checklists can help you to be more systematic and thorough when gathering or specifying your requirements, enabling you to complete your ‘user needs / specification / RFI / RFP’ in just days.

 

SAVE EFFORT

The HR Payroll Systems Checklists have been carefully researched to cover virtually all functional system requirements, listing 830+ system wide, operations, technology and support functions, 2010+ HR functions, 1290+ Payroll functions, plus 460+ business analysis and overview criteria (in the Corporate version). They are based on UK and general HR Payroll systems with additional country specific criteria for USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The Checklists will stimulate your thoughts, give you ideas and make you aware of what the latest HR Payroll systems can do.

Written in Microsoft Excel, any additional requirements can easily be included, amendments made and criteria not needed can be deleted. You have complete control.

The Checklists will save you effort by:

  • saving you time gathering or specifying your requirements
  • quickly creating the specification or RFI/RFP for issue to software vendors
  • allowing you to work the way you want to - either on screen, on paper, or a mix of both (using multiple copies for your own internal use)
  • providing space and flexibility within the Checklist, to enable vendors to respond to each of your requirements
  • including a pre-built format for evaluating and scoring vendor responses - to enable you to carry out an impartial evaluation of the software / vendor response

 

SAVE MONEY

These Checklists are specifically designed for you to use yourself, without needing to employ additional staff or resources.

 

REDUCE RISK OF WRONG HR PAYROLL SYSTEM SELECTION

The Checklists provide an industry standard approach to assemble your requirements in an orderly, structured way. When used as part of an RFI or RFP, they enable prospective vendors to respond to your specific needs without confusion, in a standardised format. And hence ensure an easy and impartial comparison of proposals and identification of the best solutions.

 

VERSIONS TO SUIT ALL TYPES OF ORGANISATIONS

  • small medium and large size organisations (with turnovers from £5m to £500m), including:
  • commercial companies / businesses and non-profit / government organisations
  • HR, Payroll or IT staff, functional specialists, managers, directors
  • any person or organisation involved with specifying a new HR or Payroll system

 

CHECKLIST IMPARTIALITY

The Checklists are totally impartial and have no bias towards any HR or Payroll software package or vendor. Return to top

 

WHEN TO USE A CHECKLIST

If you are planning to replace your HR or Payroll system in the future, you should review these Checklists. You’ll benefit most, prior to contacting software vendors. As this will focus your thoughts on your specific needs rather than being side tracked with potentially unsuitable solutions. Return to top

 

INSTRUCTIONS

Clear instructions are provided, covering:

  • how to complete Checklist worksheets
  • producing a system requirements specification, RFI, or RFP
  • responding to the RFI/RFP (by vendors)
  • how to evaluate and score software vendor responses

Plus an overview of software system selection, covering shortlisting and detailed selection phases, to provide a complete summary of how to select your next HR Payroll system. The Checklists are structured into 2 levels - overview (for RFI) and detailed (for RFP) to match the shortlisting and detailed selection phases. Return to top
