How to Switch From UKG to isolved
UKG is a powerful platform, built for enterprises that need workforce management at scale. If your company is in the mid-market, you may be paying enterprise prices for capabilities you do not use and running on a system that was never designed for your size. The isolved platform is built for companies like yours, and BEG manages the entire migration.
The Mid-Market Case for Leaving UKG
UKG licensing was built for organizations with thousands of employees. Mid-market companies often find themselves paying for breadth they cannot use and support tiers sized for bigger customers.
Configuration and administration in enterprise platforms can be heavy. What works for a 5,000-person company adds overhead for a 200-person firm with a lean HR team.
UKG has AI features, but no equivalent to the isolved Connector for Claude, which completes real HR tasks through conversation. That capability is available through BEG now.
Enterprise vendors operate large support organizations. Mid-market clients often get routed rather than getting a dedicated partner who knows their configuration.
What You Gain With isolved and BEG
The isolved platform covers payroll, HR, time, benefits, onboarding, and talent management in one connected system, designed and priced for the mid-market. You get a platform sized for your company, not for an enterprise ten times larger.
The isolved Connector for Claude, generally available since June 2026, lets your HR team complete actual tasks through Claude AI conversation. Run payroll, pull reports, update records, and handle exceptions without navigating menus. No comparable capability exists in UKG today.
BEG implements, configures, migrates, and supports your isolved platform year-round. One contact. No queue. Forrester documented a 330% ROI for isolved clients.
How BEG Manages the Transition
BEG reviews your UKG setup and renewal date. You get a migration plan that avoids overlapping contracts and keeps the timeline practical.
We pull payroll history, employee records, and benefits data from UKG and migrate it into isolved. Every record is verified before go-live.
BEG configures isolved for your pay rules, locations, and benefits. We run parallel pay cycles to confirm accuracy before you cut over.
BEG manages go-live and stays with you. New hires, rule changes, and compliance updates all go through your BEG contact, not a vendor queue.
