A structural decision, made on facts - not on a demo.
The French HRIS market includes several dozen vendors. Each one claims to cover your needs. The reality of configuration, collective agreements, and interfaces with your payroll and Finance systems is often discovered too late - once the contract is signed.
GBA Connect puts you in a position to make an informed decision, grounded in your operational reality, not in vendors' sales pitches.
Who this offer is for
- You are renewing your HRIS, payroll software or Time & Attendance system and want to make a sound choice
- You are growing through acquisitions and need to consolidate multiple inherited tools
- Your current vendor is end-of-lifing a version or imposing a migration, and you must decide whether to stay or switch
- You are running a payroll insourcing or outsourcing project, and the choice of tool determines your organisational target
What we deliver
- Formalised requirements definition: business workshops, mapping of current and target processes, specific business rules (collective agreements, company agreements, atypical workforce populations)
- Specification document and RFP ready to issue, with a weighted evaluation grid
- Argued shortlist of vendors and integrators, based on objective criteria: functional fit, technical fit, financial fit, project delivery capacity
- Demo and proof-of-concept organisation: demonstration scenarios built on your real-life cases, not on vendors' standard demos
- Final scoring and reasoned recommendation, with risk analysis per scenario
- Support in contract negotiation: financial terms, service-level commitments, reversibility clauses
Client testimonials
"We were torn between evolving our existing solution and undertaking a deeper overhaul. GBA Connect helped us objectively assess the different scenarios by factoring in costs, risks, organisational impacts and scheduling constraints. This allowed us to make an informed, shared decision."
- HR Director, multi-site distribution group - engagement delivered by the founding partners prior to the creation of GBA Connect
Success indicators
- A vendor choice that is documented and defensible in front of the Executive Committee and the Works Council
- A specification document that then serves as a binding contractual reference against the vendor
- An internal team that has built competence on the challenges of the new tool, ready to enter the project phase
- A multi-year budget envelope known before signing: licences, integration, ongoing operations, TMA
Format & duration
A scoped engagement, typically between 8 and 16 weeks depending on scope (single-country / multi-country, single population / multiple collective agreements). Fixed fee or time-and-materials depending on your flexibility requirements.
