DigiSME Pioneers Key Strategies for Overcoming HRMS Implementation Hurdles

Published

on

Chennai, India – May 7, 2025 In today’s business environment, digital transformation is crucial for every firm trying to establish its future footprint successfully. Among the various business and operational units undergoing change, HR technology has emerged as the most critical yet most delayed initiative across industries.

HR digital transformation is more complex than it actually appears. From conducting market research to zeroing in on the right HR tech, firms have a lot of groundwork to do. Although firms find the best HR tech, the real challenge is to incorporate the new system effectively into their existing workflow.

This is where HR implementation and support specialists come into the picture. They stand with clients who may have limited experience in handling digital HR systems throughout the software implementation.

DigiSME, a leading HRMS software provider, offers the best solution to companies that aim to accelerate digital adoption, especially in HR department.

Previously, the delay in software deployment was a minor inconvenience. But now, they are significantly impacting business continuity. Despite HR tech being the need of the hour, its implementation often falls behind schedule, leaving companies at risk of losing lakhs.

It begins with choosing the right technology but ends with effective implementation. When it comes to implementation process, most companies stumble if the HR, IT, and leadership teams aren’t aligned, or the HR software vendor lacks strong post-sales support.

Moreover, companies without a structured workflow find it challenging to identify where processes need to be digitised. It leads to confusion in the first place and later results in costly rework.

Thousands of organisations operate across the country, and the number of HRMS software vendors remains comparatively low. Making full customisation is a challenge. Many companies expect HRMS solutions to replicate their exact internal workflows, but not all processes can be mirrored. As a result, businesses often turn to standard products without fully understanding the need to adapt certain practices for better system compatibility.

When company leaders aren’t actively involved, HRMS projects often lose focus and momentum. At the same time, employees may resist the new system because they’re unfamiliar with it or fear being closely monitored. Smaller HR vendors might not be able to scale with your business needs, while larger global vendors may not understand Indian payroll and compliance rules. Another common issue is integrating the new HRMS with old systems like attendance, payroll, or ERP software, which often don’t connect smoothly.

DigiSME knows that HR digital transformation is not as easy as it sounds. The company has coined a hands-on support strategy that helps businesses replace HR chaos with clarity and turns change into progress.

Introducing Cost-to-Cost Onsite Implementation

DigiSME has launched its Cost-to-Cost Onsite Implementation Package — an initiative that to deploy HRMS faster with full on-ground support.

“We believe providing extraordinary support is just as important as offering a great HRMS software. Technology alone doesn’t solve the problem — people do,” said Dinesh Kamal Somanchi, CTO of DigiSME. “Our dedicated onsite team works closely with your employees right from the initial setup to ensure a smooth and quick software deployment. We understand that every business is unique, so our implementation specialists guide you through a customised setup process tailored to your specific needs. With hands-on support, your team can quickly adapt to the new system and start experiencing its full value from day one.

DigiSME’s commitment is to simplify HR transformation and empower every business across sectors.
