LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alight, Inc. (NYSE: ALIT), a leading cloud-based human capital and technology services provider, today announced an evolution to their longstanding partnership with SAP.

The Alight Worklife platform will leverage SAP S/4HANA Cloud to provide organizations with a transformative, cloud-based payroll system. The new offering can improve payroll efficiency and performance and enhance security around sensitive employee and organizational data. It is designed to integrate with Human Capital Management (HCM) systems, providing a unified view of an organization’s workforce to minimize the complexity of managing payroll and HR. As well, the fully supported, cloud-based approach can give organizations the ability to more easily scale to meet future needs as their businesses grow or expand internationally.

Alight provides a global payroll solution spanning 180+ countries and 25 languages, enabling a single, end-to-end digital experience that improves data visibility and control through actionable analytics. By simplifying the complexities of global payroll, Alight’s Worklife platform powers decision makers to optimize costs, uncover trends and make better, more informed decisions.

Through this partnership, Alight will provide full support for organizations currently using Alight payroll systems on-premise who are looking to move to the cloud to better address these challenges to ensure a seamless transition.

"Transitioning our payroll systems from on-premise to the cloud will give our clients the flexibility and scalability they need to transform their payroll environment to address the changing and growing needs of their organization,” said Luca Saracino, executive vice president of payroll and professional services at Alight.
