I spoke last week about why you should care about Global HR Payroll, but some readers may be wondering if this conversation is even relevant to them. The reality is that unlike two or three years ago, a lot of clients are already on the multi-tenant cloud. There's been multiple projects that have gone live across healthcare, public sector, as well as other verticals. The general feedback is that the users are happy about it and everything is working well, which is getting everyone excited. That user interface makes a payroll processor's job a lot more efficient, which is a huge success in our book.
While it's still payroll, it's a lot easier to get through and for new people to come in and understand it. Instead of having a big standard operating procedure that requires you to go through a list and check everything off, there is a dashboard that you can go through to make sure all of the steps they need to run payroll have been hit. Last, but certainly not least, there's the fact that S3 is being decommissioned in 2026. Unfortunately, if any of the other reasons weren't enough to make you want to move over to v11 CloudSuite, that last one will push you over the edge if you choose to stay on Infor.
Before we discuss how you get to Payroll, you've probably heard a lot about the multi-tenant cloud or CloudSuite. Although everyone has heard of the, not a lot of people know what it is or any of the details about how it works. One of the biggest things to remember is that it is actually required to be ale to use GHR at this time. This means that if you're not on the multi-tenant cloud already, you currently unable to get the latest version of Payroll. While we're not saying that won't change in the future, today it is 100% necessary.
