How We Work With You

How We Work With You

We partner with your team across the full lifecycle of your UKG systems.

1

Advise

Unbiased honesty from the start.

We help organizations get clear before they get moving. That means vendor-agnostic assessments, pre-implementation strategy, and system selection guidance grounded in your specific environment—not a vendor’s preferred path forward.

2

Execute

We own the result.

Our team supports implementations, data migrations, upgrades, and integrations from start to finish. We bring a structured approach and senior-level accountability to every project, so your internal team can stay focused on running the business while we deliver the work.

3

Reinforce

Your expertise gap, covered.

When you need experienced UKG talent to stabilize a system, backfill a critical role, or keep operations running during a transition, we step in. Our consultants integrate with your team and operate as an extension of it.

That includes configuration, data migration, integration support, user acceptance testing, go-live readiness, and knowledge transfer so your internal team is equipped to run the system independently.

Upgrades & Optimization

Upgrades & Optimization


Upgrades & Optimization Running on an older version like UKG Workforce Central, or not getting full value from your current setup? Our team handles system upgrades, environment clean-up, and configuration improvements across UKG Pro WFM, UKG Pro, and UKG Ready. On the WFM side, that means work rules, pay rules, scheduling, and attestation. On the HCM side, we support benefits configuration, compensation, talent, and payroll optimization—helping organizations get more out of the platform they already own.

Integrations

System Assessments

System Assessments


Before committing to a major initiative, it helps to know exactly where you stand. Our assessments give you an honest, senior-level view of your current environment—what's working, what isn't, and what to prioritize next. No vendor angle, no upsell agenda.

Project Management

Project Management


Our project managers bring structure, accountability, and UKG-specific experience to your initiative. We manage timelines, coordinate across workstreams, and keep stakeholders aligned; so your project doesn't stall when complexity increases.

Pre-Implementation Advisory

Pre-Implementation Advisory


We help organizations define requirements, assess readiness, evaluate configuration options, and build a project plan grounded in how UKG actually works.

Reporting & Analytics

Reporting & Analytics


Our team designs and builds custom reports, configures workforce analytics, and structures your data to support the decisions that matter most. On the WFM side, we work within Datahub to build and optimize data extracts and reporting workflows. On the HCM side, we configure Cognos-based reporting to give HR, Finance, and Payroll teams the visibility they need.

Testimonials

Surety Systems assisted us with our Foreign Currency implementation for a new acquisition. Their team was very professional and diligent, providing a solution in a timely manner. The value provided by Surety Systems is second to none, and I would recommend them for anyone looking for UKG consulting services.

A Financial Lead From A Commercial Construction Industry

UKG Client

These changes to the systems significantly enhanced the organization’s service capabilities.

This resulted in saving time, money, and resources for overall maintenance of the client’s Kronos HR/Payroll system.

The new leave module and interface between systems easily saved their HR team 40+ hours a month.

With no organic staff equipped with the expertise required for such an effort, the payroll manager reached out to Surety Systems for help.

Surety Systems was very efficient and effective in upgrading our Kronos system and training our team on the new functionality implemented. They also saved us money by utilizing our current modules to achieve our business goals.

IT Project Manager

Enterprise

The company had previously been told a lot of what they were looking to accomplish couldn’t be done with Kronos—so they were pleased when they reached out to Surety Systems to hear that it could.

The Surety Difference

We don't carry a traditional bench. Your consulting team is assembled around your project, not our availability.

Blended Workforce

Blended Workforce

Supercharge your internal team.

Pair your institutional knowledge with our specialized UKG expertise. You get the right support when the project demands it—and none of the overhead when it doesn't.

Cross-Platform Fluency

Cross-Platform Fluency

We’ve been there, done that.

Many of our clients run Workday, SAP, JD Edwards, Infor, or Epic alongside their UKG environment. Our team understands how these platforms interact, which means fewer blind spots during integrations, migrations, and multi-system initiatives.

Unbiased Consulting

Unbiased Consulting

No bull, no bias, no breadcrumbs.

We're not here to sell licenses or steer you toward an upgrade you don't need. Our recommendations are based on your business requirements only.
