Authoria.  With authority. Our executive team has worked with Authoria’s management for over a decade, forging a history of real-world experience and honest consulting value to clients and their projects.  It’s this dedication to experience and expertise that has made us one of the most talked-about consultancies in the industry, and we are pleased to offer our experience to Authoria customers.

Our dedicated Authoria services practice is a direct result of our standing as a SaaS thought leader with deep experience at both the management and consultant levels.  We provide a full array of consulting services for Authoria’s Talent Management solution, including assessment and planning, data management services and post-implementation cycle support offerings.

ASSESSMENT AND PLANNING

Talent Management: getting a handle on recruiting, compensation and performance management is three parts science, one part art.  We help conduct an initial blueprint of your existing recruiting, performance, incentive, salary and succession management processes and requirements.  From there, we help you use that information to configure your Authoria solution.

Early planning and assessment is critical to rapid results. We help give your SaaS Authoria solution focus and direction with a high-level project plan that defines the scope and strategy of your implementation and aligns your project objectives with your desired business objectives.  Our professionals will help you:

At a project level

• Align and articulate goals and objectives
• Develop project plan to meet specific business objectives
• Obtain executive and project-team buy-in
• Build a baseline plan outlining project scope, constraints and assumptions
• Mitigate risks
• Reduce time and costs

At a business value level

• Hire top-quality talent
• Integrate recruiting and performance information
• Achieve your organization’s goals
• Promote greatness and improve appraisal cycles
• Reward and train employees
• Maintain compliance
• Streamline salary planning
• Provide accurate insight into succession processes
• Manage your talent base
• Understand downstream effects of promotions and growth

DATA MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Manage your data before it manages you. No matter the condition of your compensation and performance information, we help you manage it with full data mapping, integration and cleansing services. We also advise with respect to data standardization and documentation to help ensure your transition to Authoria is even smoother than you’re anticipating.

POST-IMPLEMENTATION SERVICES

The ship’s built.  Now set it to sail.  Once your in-house data, processes and practices have been successfully migrated to Authoria’s solution, let us help you get the most of it.  We know that you can’t call a project a success until you can articulate the business value of its new benefits, and we can help you with:

• Optimization – streamline workflows and daily operations to get the most from your SaaS investment
• Workflow honing – develop and educate with respect to the most efficient and productive inroads into Authoria’s best-in-class solution
• Reporting – help articulate and illustrate real-world business value from your strategic IT dollars

METHODOLOGY

No smoke, mirrors or unnecessary complexity – only the sane voice of reason.  Our professionals are trained to work within Authoria’s Rapid Results™ deployment framework, which takes you from the ground level to live, positive business results with minimum of thrash and effort.  Our goal, like Authoria’s, is to help you configure and deploy your Authoria solution quickly, affordably and effectively.

Rapid Results™ relies on a three-part process:

Activation – You’ll be assigned a unique client ID/URL for your solution as well as a dedicated project manager to ensure the solution meets your business needs.

Configuration – Our professionals will fully assess your business process, map existing data and determine security requirements.

Go! – After a final testing battery, our professionals deploy the solution to your live production environment.  We then offer post-implementation services to assist in final knowledge transfer and communicating Authoria’s value to the business stakeholders.
