What Preos does

Preos Talent Ltd is a UK-based professional services firm founded in 2021 that operates exclusively as a Workday Services Partner, delivering advisory, implementation, and optimisation consulting for the Workday HCM and Finance platform. Headquartered in London with an additional office hub in Newcastle, the firm employs 30+ dedicated Workday consultants with an average of 10+ years of platform experience each, supplemented by 20+ associate consultants; its senior-led model is designed to win against larger system integrators on experience per engagement. Service lines span Workday Advisory (operating-model design, partner selection), full Workday Implementation for first-time and expanding deployments, Workday Optimisation addressing post-go-live remediation, Workday Payroll Transformation for multi-country rollouts, and Workday Enhancement Services (WES), a managed-services alternative to traditional AMS built around a dedicated consultant per client.

Commercial delivery is entirely direct, with bespoke quote-based engagements and multi-year contracts targeting enterprise and mid-market clients — including dentsu, Capri Holdings, IFCO, Rentokil, Avis, Booking.com, Dyson, Aldi, and a global insurance provider. The firm has achieved ISO 27001 (cert IS-820759) and Cyber Essentials certification to meet FTSE100 procurement requirements and reaches clients globally from its UK base. Following the 2025 launch of a Workday AI Advisory practice covering Sana, Flex Credits, UMSA, and service-agent activation, Preos is positioning itself as a specialist partner for the next activation cycle inside the Workday installed base rather than as a software product vendor.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture: Global systems integrator with a sizeable Workday practice delivering end-to-end HCM and Finance transformations. Competes with Preos on large enterprise Workday programmes but offers a much broader digital transformation portfolio.
• KPMG: Big 4 firm with a Workday alliance providing implementation and managed services globally. Comparable on Workday delivery, especially for FTSE100 and regulated industries, though delivered as part of a wider advisory practice.
• PwC: Big 4 firm with an active Workday Services Partner practice serving enterprise HCM, Finance, and transformation engagements. Overlaps with Preos on Workday advisory and implementation, especially among large UK and European clients.
• Alight Solutions: Large HR and financial management services provider with a Workday-focused delivery practice and cloud deployment services. Comparable on Workday implementation and ongoing support, particularly for payroll and benefits-heavy engagements.
• Deloitte: Global Big 4 with a major Workday Services Partner practice covering implementation, optimisation, and managed services for large multinationals. Overlaps with Preos on Workday delivery but at much greater scale and as part of a broad transformation portfolio.
• Collaborative Solutions (a Deloitte business): Workday-focused implementation firm acquired by Deloitte; historically a direct Workday boutique competing for mid-market and enterprise deals. Highly relevant precedent for how specialist Workday partners are absorbed by larger SIs.

Direct peers

• OneSource Virtual: US-based Workday-exclusive services provider specialising in payroll, AMS, and managed services for Workday HCM customers. Directly comparable as a Workday-only services partner offering both implementation and ongoing managed support.
• Resources Connection (RGP): Global professional services firm deploying experienced consultants across Workday, ERP, and finance transformation projects. Comparable as a senior-consultant-led delivery model serving mid-market and enterprise Workday needs.
• Kognitiv: UK-based Workday boutique partner providing implementation, optimisation, and managed services to enterprise clients. Highly comparable as another mid-sized, Workday-only specialist competing in the same UK and EMEA market segments.
• Huron Consulting Group: Large US-based professional services firm with one of the most established Workday implementation practices, serving enterprise HCM and Finance clients. Comparable as a Workday-specialised consultancy, though materially larger and US-headquartered.
