Here’s a Quick Way to Gather Payroll System Requirements and Build RFI's / RFP's!

If you are looking at specifying your payroll system requirements and preparing an RFI or RFP ... then this is for you.

Here's why:

We have a professional template called, the "Payroll System Requirements RFI/RFP Checklist." It covers nearly everything you need for gathering or specifying payroll system requirements, building an RFI or RFP for issue to software vendors, and for evaluating and comparing vendor responses.


SAVES YOU TIME

Use our template and you will save time gathering your payroll system requirements, building RFI's / RFP's and evaluating vendor responses. How much time you’ll save varies from project to project – days, weeks or even months, depending on what you are doing. Our template is quick to use and lists virtually all the payroll system requirements you need. So, you won’t have to think up your requirements from scratch.

Picture this. No more blank faces, staring at a blank white board. No more struggling to come up with requirements. Now everyone can start with lists of potential requirements. You just have to choose which ones you need. This is so much easier and quicker than traditional requirements gathering methods.

You’ll also save time preparing your RFI’s and RFP’s, as your requirements quickly build into RFI’s or RFP’s for issue to potential vendors. And save yet more time, as the standardised format makes it quick and easy to evaluate and compare vendor RFI/RFP responses.


SAVES YOU EFFORT

You will save effort because thousands of payroll system criteria have been carefully researched and listed. They are there, ready for you to use. You no longer have to research and create them yourself. Our comprehensive and detailed payroll system coverage ensures that everything you need is included.

The Payroll Checklist will enable you to be more thorough when gathering your requirements. You will be able to prepare a complete specification without missing any parts. In addition, it will stimulate your thoughts, give you ideas and make you aware of what the latest payroll systems can do.

The sooner you use it, the more it will help you to focus on your specific needs. Along with helping you to avoid being side tracked with inappropriate tasks or looking at potentially unsuitable software solutions.

As the RFP Checklist is in Microsoft Excel, you can easily share, amend, customise and tailor to your precise needs. You can work the way that suits you best.

The standardised format includes space for vendors to respond to your requirements in your RFI or RFP and for you to evaluate these responses. It makes comparisons clear and effortless.


SAVES YOU MONEY

If you are on a tight budget, then this will help. There is no need to take on extra staff or resources to use the RFP Checklist. Moreover, it replaces the need for (and the expense of) bringing in consultants or service providers to help specify requirements / prepare an RFP.

It costs only a fraction of the cost of a typical consultant for one day. Yet to produce the same output would take more than 20 days of traditional requirements gathering effort. The “Payroll System Requirements RFI/RFP Checklist” represents outstanding value for money!


REDUCES THE RISK OF SELECTING THE WRONG PAYROLL SYSTEM

The last thing you want to do is to select the wrong system. You wouldn’t get your desired functionality or benefits. And it would be an expensive mistake, you’d be stuck with for years.

The “Payroll System Requirements RFI/RFP Checklist” can help reduce the risk of this happening.

The RFP Checklist provides a standardised approach to gathering requirements in an orderly and structured way. It allows prospective vendors to respond to your specific needs without confusion. It is easy for you to evaluate and compare the responses. And, it follows a well-proven and widely used method for selecting new software.

All of which, provides for clarity and transparency. You can see what you need, who provides it and so identify the best solution(s) for your organisation.



And it's not like any other Checklist or template you've looked at.
 

Why?


IT’S COMPLETELY IMPARTIAL AND UNBIASED

The “Payroll System Requirements RFI/RFP Checklist” is completely impartial and vendor neutral. Software vendors do not sponsor our products or services. Therefore, as there is no bias, it will not lead or force you towards any one or more particular payroll software packages or vendors. It will however, lead you to what is best for you – the requirements you need for your organisation and the best system to do the job.


IT’S UP TO DATE

The RFP Checklist is regularly updated, based on a combination of experience, extensive research and what the latest systems can do. The latest version was issued in July 2011.


THE PAYROLL RFP CHECKLIST IS INTERNATIONAL

It covers payroll systems requirements for the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. And the general payroll system requirements are suitable for use in any country.


IT CAN ALSO BE USED FOR:

  • Helping to justify and get board approval for a new project
  • Assisting in brainstorming meetings – getting users to discuss their new system needs
  • Learning more about the latest payroll systems and their functionality
  • Comparing with an existing requirements specification – to make sure everything is included in the existing requirements specification
  • Adding more detail to user requirements, during the system implementation phase

Whichever way you use a RFP Checklist, it will make a major contribution to your payroll project.

Payroll System Requirements RFI/RFP Checklist

“I found the HR and Payroll checklist very comprehensive and extremely useful in forming a base document to utilise in the selection of a new HR solution.

It certainly saved us a huge amount of time in compiling a list of requirements, excellent”

Richard Buckingham, HR Systems Analyst, Mizuho Corporate Bank, London, UK

“We recognised from the outset that a key to the success of the project would be to get the functional specification for the procurement stage absolutely clear.

With the Axia Checklist, we have been able to do so much more though.

It has given us a really good start with our task of discussing with key stakeholders exactly what they require from a HR / Payroll system at both a strategic and operational level, and has also given us a methodology for collecting volumetric data about the Council

We have also already used the Checklist to very good effect when choosing an interim Recruitment system solution when the Checklist helped no end in focusing us in on what exactly we wanted from a system.

My only surprise is that the Checklist is so reasonably priced - we must have already had a return on our original investment several times over!”

Chris Burrows, HR Manager (eHR), Coventry City Council, West Midlands, UK

“We found the Payroll Checklist so useful.

We were able to adapt the schedules and issue them as questions for suppliers to ‘tick’ as to whether they could meet our requirements.

It saved us a lot of time.”

Payroll Manager, Financial Services PLC, London, UK

“The Payroll and HR Checklist was extremely useful.

It allowed us to focus on specific areas without having to start off with ‘blank sheets’ of paper.”

Internal Services Manager, Pharmaceutical Group, Cheshire, UK

“We found the Payroll and HR Checklist very very useful ...

& would now like to order the Accounting Checklist”

Vice President, International Bank, London, UK

“I bought your very useful doc on Payroll and HR system requirements last September and used it to form the basis of an ITT I prepared for the University.

While I was sure it would be useful, I’ve been more than impressed with it in practice and have been extolling its virtues to one and all.”

Dr Chris Lambe, Project Manager, University of Reading, Berkshire, UK
