UKG Solution Depth, Strategic Investments Propel Successful Third-Quarter Fiscal 2023

UKG, a leading provider of HR, payroll, and workforce management solutions for all people, today provided a business update for the third quarter of fiscal 2023, ending June 30, 2023.

"We're entering the final stretch of fiscal 2023 on extremely strong footing, with Q3 results putting us ahead of our profitability plan for this year and significant investments that will dictate how we serve customers large and small for many years to come," said Chris Todd, CEO at UKG. "Existing customers continue to reinvest in UKG, as migration to our modern cloud solutions increased more than 50% compared with last year. New customer deals propelled us over 80,000 total customers worldwide, and we continue to ensure our customers are realizing value quickly, with hundreds of go-lives each quarter. Last, and certainly not least, our acquisition of Immedis creates a new standard for multi-country payroll through the UKG One View platform being sold today to transform how businesses pay people around the world."

Third Quarter 2023 Business Highlights

UKG announced the agreement to acquire Immedis ? a deal that closed in early July ? and the launch of UKG One View, an adaptable, intelligent "schedule to fund in one" experience for North American-based multinational businesses that modernizes multi-country payroll in 160 countries and 120 currencies.

"This is a savvy and powerful move that allows UKG to build off of Immedis' established global payroll brand that has technology and services supporting over 160 countries," wrote Claude Werder, senior vice president and principal HCM analyst at Brandon Hall Group. "It firmly establishes UKG as a leading player in global payroll, especially given the company's stated vision to transform the global payroll paradigm into a more efficient, technology-enabled multi-country payroll experience."

UKG also announced new product innovations, successes, and enhancements, including:

• A generative AI (GenAI) partnership with Google Cloud that will apply large language models (LLMs) through Vertex AI across UKG solutions to create more conversational interactions, augment employee requests with more relevant business insights, and, combined with Great Place To Work^® proprietary data, support people managers with a deeper understanding of how business decisions can impact employee engagement. Google Cloud and UKG also joined forces to host 1,100 UKG employees in a two-day hackathon to develop novel and impactful HCM applications and experiences using GenAI.
• UKG Developer Hub, a dedicated portal powered by the UKG FleX platform that organizations can use to extend the capabilities of their UKG technology, deploy real-time data exchanges between UKG and new or emerging third-party solutions, and even build their own applications and workflows that harness intelligent UKG engines.
• The grand opening of a new Innovation Hub in Montevideo, Uruguay, housing a growing group of 100 engineers focused on the development and delivery of UKG solutions, including the forthcoming UKG Great Place To Work^® Hub.

Forrester Research named UKG a Leader in The Forrester Wavetm: Human Capital Management Q2 2023 report, a rigorous evaluation of HCM vendor market presence, solution strength, and innovation strategy. This was the latest in a string of HCM industry reports to name UKG a Leader, following similar evaluations from Gartner, Nucleus Research, and Sapient Insights Group.
