It’s always a milestone moment in your career, when you’ve wrapped up your research and are ready to advocate for a strategy that you know has tremendous transformative potential for your organisation globally. Payroll is a company’s biggest outgoing expense and arguably its most sensitive business-critical function. So there’s a lot on the line as you put your name to the business case for your selected payroll solution and vendor.

Even though you may be convinced that now is the ideal moment to transform payroll, you
still face the challenge of winning hearts, minds and a long-term commitment to monetary backing. Enter the business case.

The business case you create for justifying investment in your new global payroll strategy sets the tone for the project’s future success, in a group-wide and in-country initiative that involves the C-suite, HR, finance, IT, legal, procurement — and ultimately affects every single employee.
