Cut HRIS implementation time in half, without compromising quality
Say goodbye to endless timelines, mounting costs, and delivery fatigue.
Halvor Leirvåg

HR and payroll transformations are critical but far too often, they’re slow, expensive, and exhausting. Long alignment cycles, shifting scopes, disconnected stakeholders, and resource overload delay go-lives and drain internal energy. And in a fast-moving business environment, that simply isn’t acceptable anymore.
At Zalaris, we’ve seen the same story play out again and again:
- Months lost to misalignment.
- Budgets blown by rework.
- HR teams stretched to the limit trying to balance business-as-usual with project demands.
That’s why we developed ZASAM – the Zalaris Smart Activate Methodology.
ZASAM is not just another project framework. It’s a modern approach to HRIS and payroll delivery – one that has our clients going live in half the time, at significantly lower cost, and with confidence built in from day one.
The real challenge: Implementation friction
Most HR and payroll systems are ready to support today’s workforce.
The real bottleneck? Getting them implemented.
In traditional models, every phase requires manual coordination. From planning and discovery to testing and rollout, delays compound. Internal teams are pulled in too many directions. Decisions take too long. Parallel work stalls. And with every week that passes, business value is deferred.
This isn’t just frustrating, it’s expensive.
When go-live gets pushed, the cost is more than just a budget overrun:
- Productivity suffers.
- Confidence drops.
- And often, the solution loses momentum before it even starts.

Time and cost: The two metrics that matter
When we speak with HR leaders, payroll managers, and transformation leads, the priorities are clear:
“Can you help us go live faster?”
“Can you make the implementation more predictable?”
“Can you do this without overwhelming my internal team or increasing risk?”
That’s exactly what ZASAM is built for.

ZASAM has been built on over two decades of experience delivering successful HR & Payroll solutions across industries and geographies. It’s particularly well suited for:

A proven approach without the complexity
ZASAM was developed to take the complexity out of HR and payroll transformations. It draws on years of implementation experience, best practices across industries, and the latest delivery innovations to ensure your project stays on track, without overwhelming your team.
