Vendor Blog - Ultimate SoftwarePayroll’s been significantly disrupted by recent advancements, with automation and rules-based processing eliminating manual strain while improving overall accuracy.

Today’s software can process transactions, trigger reconciliations, and draw conclusions from data, alleviating accounting tasks and instantly executing complex tax and payroll calculations. But while these innovations are often met with excitement, there’s also fear among payroll professionals that evolving technologies will eventually replace people.

Rest assured: That’s not the future of payroll.

At Ultimate Software, we design people-first solutions that develop and empower professionals—not replace them. Effective collaboration between technology and payroll professionals is key to a successful future, with streamlined processes, heightened productivity, and increased focus on strategic advisory.

For the past 20 years, we’ve always looked forward to attending the APA’s Annual Congress. This week, several of our product and industry experts will lead sessions on upcoming trends, common pitfalls, and the impact of emerging technologies. We hope to see you at Thursday morning’s General Session, “The Future of Work and Pay: How Will Artificial Intelligence, Data, and Predictive Analytics Change Your World?” where Ultimate’s VP of Product Martin Hartshorne will expand on this topic with other speakers.

We revolutionized the industry by introducing UltiPro® as the first cloud-based SaaS solution for HR/payroll. Our commitment to innovation has never faltered. As the industry evolves, we’ll continue delivering the best HCM technologies, so your business—and, most importantly, your people—can grow at the speed of technology.
