As an established and experienced Sage People implementation partner, we can implement your Sage People HR System and transfer our knowledge to your team. To date, we have worked with over 140 organisations globally to successfully implement their Sage People HR System. Engaging with us means you avoid any potential pitfalls, as we expertly guide you through the implementation process.
Tugela People combines a unique blend of HR knowledge, technical expertise and business process skills using a mature and proven implementation methodology. This ensures that your system is set up and embedded properly and that the project is delivered within budget and scope, according to agreed timelines.
Our Approach
We don’t believe a one size fits all approach is right for everyone and therefore it is essential we understand more about you and your organisation so we can deliver an implementation approach that works perfectly for you.
We start the implementation project by detailing the scope before defining and agreeing on the approach, outputs, deliverables and timeline of the project. At the same time, the budget and resources required for the project are agreed upon. A dedicated Tugela implementation project manager is assigned to your implementation, ensuring you maximise your ROI by using the Sage People HR System to its full potential.
We track the project online in real-time for you to monitor and provide input. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, it may be managed on-site or remotely as agreed.
Lastly, we complete the project with a post-implementation review which ensures that the outputs and deliverables are signed off.

Why Use an HR System Implementation Partner?
One question we are frequently asked is – why should a business investing in a new HR System use an implementation partner? Here are the main benefits of using an HRIS implementation partner as we see it:
-
Broader HRIS and Technology Expertise
A partner can bring experience of different sectors, systems and approaches. These elements can help deploy the new HRIS system more efficiently avoiding pitfalls that cause delay. They can also bring impartiality to configuration discussions and the impact of those choices on the organisation’s HR system. This infusion of specialist expertise can help avoid the “If I knew what I know today, I would have done things differently” situations.
-
Service and Speed
Partners often provide a more flexible, personal service especially for small or mid-sized firms that are not likely to be the biggest client. A partner’s specialist skills will also speed up the implementation process so that internal resource can be focused on adoption and training rather than navigating the learning curve of the setting up phase.
-
More Choice
Selecting from a pool of HR System implementation partners allows you to select a partner that you are comfortable working with. This personal chemistry between the internal team and the outsourced team members is crucial to meeting project deadlines, translating business requirements and aiding in knowledge transfer.
-
Immediate Credibility
A credible HR System partner with in-depth knowledge of the HRIS space and best practice can accelerate buy-in from internal stakeholders. Usually this works best when the partner has a broad understanding of processes and issues pertinent to stakeholders. This also helps to facilitate take up of the system among users.
-
Committed Preferred Supplier
A third party HRIS implementation partner that is committed to the system, has an in-depth understanding of the system’s capabilities and limitations which is a beneficial in getting the most of a system
