Growing organizations trust Authentic with UKG
Authentic Consulting Group is a premier UKG services partner that believes growth should feel planned, never rushed. Our team is small and senior by design, so the same experienced consultants guide your expansion from the first review through launch day.
Every expansion starts with a clear understanding of how your organization runs today. From there, we build each new module, entity, or location into your existing setup with care, keeping daily operations steady along the way. You end up with a UKG environment that is consistent, well documented, and prepared for the next stage of growth.
New module launch
You’re adding new capability to a live UKG system.
Mergers & acquisitions
You’re bringing a new entity, its people, and its pay practices into UKG.
General company growth
You’re scaling headcount, locations, and complexity over time.
New module launch
A new module delivers the most value when it connects cleanly to your existing configuration, data, and integrations. Authentic starts with a review of your live environment, scopes the module to fit it, and schedules launch around your pay calendar and period-end dates.
Modules we commonly launch:
Talent and performance management
Onboarding
Advanced scheduling
Benefits administration
Compensation management
People analytics and reporting
Learning
Integrations with other software and tools
What you gain:
A module configuration to match your existing rules and business structure
Integrations updated and tested before launch
Admins and employees trained and ready on day one
Full documentation of every configuration decision
Reporting and dashboards ready to use from day one
Post-launch support through your first cycles on the new module
Prioritized opportunities to continue to build on your investment

Mergers & acquisitions
An acquisition brings new people, pay practices, benefits, and data into your environment, usually on a timeline tied to close. Authentic plans the integration around your close date and regulatory deadlines, so the transition feels steady for your team and for the employees joining it.
Questions to settle early:
Which pay policies and work rules carry over, and which align to yours?
What is the target date to move the entity onto your UKG environment?
Who will run payroll for the acquired team during the transition?
Which integrations need to connect, such as benefits carriers, general ledger, and time clocks?
Who owns communication to the new employees?

The Authentic difference in UKG expansions
Expansion works best with a partner who already speaks your system’s language. Authentic brings seasoned UKG experts, candid recommendations, and dedicated resources who carry your project from plan to launch.
We learn your system first before making changes
We learn your UKG system first
Every expansion begins with a look at what is already live, including environments built by UKG or another partner.
We’ll give you a detailed report of what we find
Clear findings, honest recommendations, and scope that fits what you actually need.
We stay with you beyond go-live
One dedicated contact from planning through launch, and into ongoing support if you choose.
Can Authentic work in a UKG environment another partner implemented?
Yes. Many expansion projects begin with an assessment of an environment built by UKG or another partner. We learn your setup first, then build on it.
Getting Started FAQ
How do you protect the live environment during a module launch?
All work is built and tested in a separate environment, and go-live is timed around your pay calendar and seasonal schedule so that daily operations continue as usual.
How early should we involve Authentic in an acquisition?
As early as diligence. Early planning gives you more options for day-one payroll and a smoother integration.
What UKG products do you support?
UKG Pro, UKG Pro WFM, and UKG Ready.
What happens after the UKG expansion is complete?
Many clients continue with ACE managed services or client-side support. We can tailor a support program to your business needs, timeline, and budget.
