HR Software Solutions

What HR Software Solutions does

HR Software Solutions (d/b/a HRSS) is a privately held, founder-led HR technology consulting practice headquartered in New York City at 100 Park Avenue, Suite 1600. The firm was established in 2006 by Lauren DeFilippo and operates as a professional services boutique rather than a software vendor, delivering advisory and project management expertise across HR system selection, implementation, vendor management, and overall program oversight. Its addressable market comprises medium and large private- and public-sector organizations undertaking HR technology initiatives, including HRIS, HCM, payroll, talent management, and workforce management deployments.

The service portfolio is structured around five integrated modules: Project Consultation (discovery and regulatory guidance), Project Management (timeline, budget, and resource control), System Implementation (configuration, documentation, and end-user training), System Selection (needs assessment, RFP development, vendor evaluation), and Vendor Management (ongoing liaison through the system lifecycle). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is presumably scoped per engagement; marketing is conducted primarily through thought-leadership content (blog, downloadable infographics, email newsletter) and organic social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook). The firm's go-to-market is sales-led via direct outreach, website contact forms, phone inquiries, and referrals, with founder Delivered services performing the bulk of client delivery.

Revenue mechanics consist of project- and retainer-based professional services fees, and there is no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, or subsidiary structure. Testimonials and named relationships are concentrated among HR technology partner firms (HRchitect, SilkRoad Technology, Artemis Consulting Services, HR Intertech), suggesting a significant portion of work is delivered as a subcontractor or implementation partner to other HR consultancies and HRIS vendors rather than directly to end enterprises.

Core offering

HR Software Solutions is a professional services firm that provides HR technology consulting to organizations implementing or upgrading HR systems. The firm delivers five integrated service modules—Project Consultation, Project Management, System Implementation, System Selection, and Vendor Management—guiding clients from needs assessment and RFP development through vendor selection, configuration, deployment, and post-go-live support. The company does not develop proprietary software; it advises on and manages implementations of third-party HRIS, HCM, payroll, talent management, and workforce management platforms.

Product overview

These services work together as a comprehensive implementation framework, guiding organizations from initial project scoping through post-go-live optimization.

Direct peers

• HRchitect: HRchitect is an HR systems strategy and implementation consultancy that shares many clients and partners with HR Software Solutions. It is explicitly comparable: HRSS is mentioned in customer testimonials as a partner on TMS evaluations for major clients.
• Artemis Consulting Services: Artemis Consulting Services is an HR technology project management and implementation firm. The Artemis president endorsed HRSS publicly, indicating they operate in the same HR tech implementation delivery space with comparable service offerings.
• HR Intertech: HR Intertech is a HR technology consulting practice referenced in HRSS testimonials as a collaborating consultant on HR projects. It sells adjacent HR advisory and implementation services and competes for the same mid-to-large client engagements.
• OneDigital: OneDigital is a US-based HR, benefits, and technology consulting firm that helps mid-market and enterprise clients select and implement HRIS and HCM systems. It is comparable to HRSS as a mid-sized HR technology advisory, but with broader benefits administration capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Alight Solutions (Sierra-Cedar): Alight, successor to Sierra-Cedar, is a large-scale HR and payroll services and consulting firm. It overlaps with HRSS's HRIS/HCM implementation practice but operates at much greater scale and as part of a broader workforce technology and outsourcing portfolio.
• Deloitte (HR Transformation): Deloitte offers HR Transformation services including Workday/SuccessFactors/Oracle HCM implementation through its consulting practice. It is comparable to HRSS in function (HR system selection and implementation) but at enterprise scale with cross-industry delivery capacity.
• PwC (People & Organization): PwC's People & Organization practice delivers HR technology strategy and implementation services for major HCM platforms. Comparable to HRSS in service offering but much broader in geographic reach, technology depth, and ability to staff concurrent global rollouts.
• Accenture (HR / Workday practice): Accenture is one of the largest HR system integrators globally with deep partnerships across Workday, SuccessFactors, and Oracle. It competes for the same HR transformation mandates but with the ability to bundle change management, integration, and managed services at scale.
• Mercer (HR Transformation): Mercer provides HR strategy and HR technology advisory work as part of its broader workforce consulting business. It overlaps with HRSS in compensation and HR tech consulting but operates at global scale as part of Marsh McLennan.

Others

• Dayforce (Ceridian) Partner Network: HR software vendor partner ecosystems (e.g., Dayforce, Workday, UKG) increasingly deliver implementation services directly or through certified partners. These networks both feed HRSS-style consultancies with project referrals and compete with them for billable implementation work.
