What’s the difference between a vendor’s built-in implementation team and an external consultant?

Many HRIS vendors offer their own implementation services, but external HR tech consultants (like Silver Cloud) provide a more independent, tailored approach.

Vendor-Led Implementation:

✔ Uses the vendor’s own team, following standard processes
✔ May be faster for basic implementations
❌ Limited flexibility – Focuses on their product, not your specific needs
❌ Less focus on integrations with finance, payroll, and legacy systems

Consultant-Led Implementation (Silver Cloud HR):

✔ Independent, vendor-neutral advice
✔ Customised strategy based on your business goals
✔ End-to-end support, including data migration, testing, and training
✔ Stronger integration expertise for a seamless tech stack

Best Practice: Use an independent consultant for complex implementations or if you have multiple integrations to manage.
