The Achievement Highlights the Company’s Innovation and Expertise in Modern Payroll

On the heels of its most-successful HR Tech Conference, NAPEO Conference and annual customer and partner conference, Connect, isolved has announced its Leader positioning in an independent, third-party analyst evaluation for payroll. isolved has been named a Leader in the NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation & Assessment Tool (NEAT) for Payroll Services 2023 with Digital Payroll Capability. This recognition serves as further proof of isolved’s commitment to both the customers it serves directly and the administrative service organizations (ASO), professional employer organizations (PEO) and payroll service providers (PSP) exclusively offering isolved People Cloud to their clients.

NelsonHall, a premier global analyst firm, identified numerous strengths in isolved's digital payroll offerings including:

  • Technology Innovation Commitment: The authors note isolved’s strong vision, commitment and continuous investments in advancing its technology innovation.
  • SMB Expertise: With a large client base and expertise in the small- and medium-sized business (SMB) market, the evaluation highlights isolved’s capabilities for this business segment.
  • Data-Driven Offerings: Empowering organizations to make informed decisions regarding salary, turnover, tenure and more, the evaluation details isolved’s offerings to support data-driven payroll, benefits and HR practices.
  • In-House Expertise: NelsonHall notes that isolved maintains an in-house team of tax, legal, and compliance experts dedicated to providing U.S. clients with comprehensive support in navigating complex payroll and compliance challenges.
  • Cloud-Native HCM Technology Platform: The report further spotlights isolved People Cloud, built on a single database and code-line to streamline HR processes.
  • Robust Channel Network: The report highlights isolved’s deep network of channel partners, facilitating platform adoption through reseller and referral arrangements with ASOs and PEOs.

“isolved is a Leader in the Digital Payroll Capability market segment for its ongoing innovation, advanced predictive analytics and responsive customer service,” said Liz Rennie, NelsonHall’s HR Technology & Services Research Director. “isolved brings to the market one of the leading analytics capabilities supporting target setting and alternatives guidance, and its customer services are becoming more digitally enabled through embedding into collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams.”

As isolved experiences significant growth, the company is driving additional resources in research and development to expand the platform – specifically in artificial intelligence (AI) to support payroll professionals. At Connect, isolved’s AI capabilities and near-term roadmap were on display embedding isolved Conversational Virtual Assistant (now on Teams) into People Cloud so employees and admins can ask questions – such as of payroll – in the flow of work. isolved Perfect Payroll™ was overviewed as well – spotting anomalies in payroll and showing prescriptive guidance to make payroll smarter and error-free.

“Our recent survey of over 1,100 full-time employees confirmed that the number-one human resources (HR) item that could cause an employee to resign, is a payroll mistake,” said Celia Fleischaker, Chief Marketing Officer of isolved. “When companies don’t get payroll right, little else matters to an employee. Running the perfect payroll is not a pipedream, it’s reality. isolved’s investments in digital-first payroll allow companies of all sizes to run error-free payroll, offer earned-wage access, understand salary trends, and move on to strategic initiatives that positively impact employee retention and recruiting and employer revenue.”
