Case Study: Encore accelerates HR and payroll integration with Wise Consulting

Encore - Customer Case Study

Encore, a large event production company with over 10,000 employees, faced the significant challenge of rapidly integrating 5,000 new employees from several acquisitions within a demanding 12-month timeframe. Their skilled HCM team needed expert assistance to meet aggressive deadlines for implementing HR technology and payroll. They turned to Wise Consulting for its UKG Pro expertise to augment their staff and accelerate the integration process.

Wise Consulting provided expert consultants who worked as an extension of Encore's team. For one key project involving 1,800 new employees, Wise accomplished what other vendors deemed impossible by getting 30% of them through open enrollment within 30 days of an acquisition closing. The Wise team dramatically enhanced capabilities and efficiency, enabling Encore to complete in 30 days what previously took 3-6 months, all while teaching best practices and providing strategic, forward-thinking support.
