SHORT ORDER QUEUE (SOQ) SERVICES

Project-managed configuration for Sage People

Need help delivering a larger configuration in Sage People?

Some changes are too complex or significant to be supported by standard methods. They require structure, planning, and expert delivery. If you’re looking to implement a substantial piece of configuration that requires project-like management, our Short Order Queue (SOQ) service is designed for you.

 

  • What is SOQ?

    Short Order Queue (SOQ) is a project-based service for Sage People customers with larger configuration or enhancement requirements that go beyond standard support.

    Whether you’re introducing a new process, implementing new functionality or making wider system changes, you’ll be assigned a dedicated HRIS Consultant to manage the project from start to finish.

    If Sage approval is required, we’ll handle the process for you, making delivery as smooth and straightforward as possible.

  • Is SOQ right for you?

    This service is ideal if you:

    • Have a clearly scoped, larger-scale configuration requirement that goes beyond ad hoc support.
    • Require a ‘mini project’ approach with clear stages and structured delivery.
    • Want the support of a dedicated consultant and project manager.
    • Prefer a “one and done” model, with a defined scope, clear outcomes, and sign-off.
  • What you’ll get

    • Dedicated Consultant & Project Manager: We assign named experts to guide you through the full lifecycle of the project.
    • Structured Delivery: Following the Sage People methodology from Initiate to Deploy, including regular calls at each stage.
    • Tailored Configuration: Solutions designed around your business processes and goals.
    • Knowledge Transfer: Comprehensive documentation, user guides, and walk-through videos that support both HR and the wider business.
    • Time and Materials Billing: No hidden costs or long-term contracts. Just clear, flexible billing based on actual work delivered.
  • Examples of SOQ work

    Our Managed Services team has a proven track record of delivering impactful SOQ projects for both new and existing clients. These include technically demanding and business-critical enhancements such as:

    • DocuSign Integration: Embedding seamless document signing workflows.
    • Integrations / APIs: Connecting Sage People with other business systems.
    • Pre-boarding Solutions: Engaging new hires before day one.
    • Compensation Planning: Enabling complex salary and reward structures.
    • Bonus Planning: Delivering structured, transparent incentive schemes.

    These are the types of strategic initiatives that require dedicated project delivery, and that’s where SOQ adds real value.

  • How it works

    Every Statement of Work (SOW) project follows a structured approach, giving you clarity and confidence from planning through to deployment. Working alongside your team, we ensure your requirements are understood, designed and delivered using Sage People’s proven implementation methodology.

    Throughout the project, you’ll benefit from:

    • Clear project milestones and regular progress updates
    • Expert guidance, training and coaching
    • Collaborative design, testing and deployment
    • Tailored user guides and support materials

    Support doesn’t stop at go-live. Our Managed Services team is available to provide ongoing assistance, helping you maximise the value of your Sage People investment.

ADDITIONAL SERVICE BUNDLES

Flexible, focused configuration projects, delivered with precision

Not every project requires a large-scale implementation, but that doesn’t mean it should lack structure or support. Our Additional Service Bundles are designed for clients who have a smaller configuration requirement but still want the benefits of a project-managed approach. Whether it’s a single piece of work or a few closely connected tasks, this service offers the perfect blend of flexibility and control.

  • How it works

    We start by assigning you a dedicated Consultant, supported by Project Management oversight to keep everything on track. After defining the scope, we allocate a set bundle of hours to complete the agreed work. These hours are used strategically throughout the project, with regular calls to review progress, clarify requirements, and ensure alignment. Once the work is complete, the project is formally signed off and closed.

    If any hours remain within the bundle, they can be used for additional pieces of work, offering extra value and flexibility within the same engagement.

  • Is this service right for you?

    This bundle is ideal if you:

    • Have a well-defined, smaller-scale configuration
    • Want a structured, one-time project with formal sign-off.
    • Prefer to work within a pre-agreed bundle of hours.
    • Value having a dedicated Consultant with Project Management oversight.
    • Appreciate regular touchpoints and guided progress at each phase.
  • Examples of Additional Service Bundle work

    Our clients have used Additional Service Bundles to deliver a wide range of impactful enhancements, such as:

    • People Management Workflow
    • Job Library and Skill Library creation
    • Mobile App setup and optimisation
    • Single Sign-On (SSO) enablement
    • PDF Templates for automated document generation
    • Competency Assessments and Enhanced Objectives
