UKG Time Migration · Pulse Check Assessment
Know What You're Moving Before You Move It
Migrating from UTM, UTA, or Ascentis? Improv's Time Migration Pulse Check surfaces every data gap, pay rule translation risk, and integration dependency — before cutover begins, regardless of where you're landing.
67%
of time migrations run over schedule due to unresolved data gaps
40%
of pay rule configs break at cutover without pre-validation
3.2x
higher failure rate when integrations aren't mapped pre-migration

Legacy Time Systems Are Leaving the Building
UKG is actively moving customers off UTM, UTA, and Ascentis onto modern cloud platforms. That migration is not plug-and-play — pay rules, accrual logic, integrations, and data must all transfer cleanly, or cutover becomes crisis.
-
Legacy platform support windows are narrowing. Organizations without a migration plan face compliance exposure and vendor support gaps.
-
UTM, UTA, and Ascentis pay rules do not map 1:1 to modern platforms. Untranslated rules cause payroll errors that surface after cutover — not before.
-
Legacy time systems hold undocumented integrations to payroll, HRIS, and ERP. Missing one breaks the data chain at go-live.
-
Timekeepers trained on UTM, UTA, or Ascentis workflows struggle with modern platforms without structured change management pre-migration.
Six Pillars of Migration Readiness.
48 structured questions across six domains — each scored 1–5. You receive pillar scores, an overall readiness rating, and a prioritized action plan.
Data Integrity & Cleanliness
Employee master data, historical punches, accrual balances, and org structure assessed for migration-readiness before a single record moves.
Process & Policy Alignment
Business processes, HR policies, and timekeeping procedures evaluated for alignment with the target platform — gaps flagged before cutover.
Configuration Completeness & Accuracy
Pay rules, work rules, accrual policies, and schedule groups documented, validated, and mapped to target platform equivalents.
Testing & Validation Readiness
Test scenario coverage, parallel-run methodology, UAT governance, and defect management measured before testing begins.
Integration Dependencies & Mapping
Every inbound and outbound data feed identified — payroll, HRIS, ERP, biometrics — gap-analyzed against the target platform architecture.
Change Management & Adoption
Stakeholder alignment, training plans, manager readiness, communication strategy, and post-go-live support — all evaluated.

Migration Expertise. Not Just Assessment.
We have delivered UKG legacy migrations across healthcare, manufacturing, retail, distribution, and public sector. When the Pulse Check uncovers gaps, we know how to close them.
-
A trusted UKG implementation partner with deep credentialing across WFM, HCM, and legacy platform migrations — including UTM, UTA, and Ascentis environments.
-
Our consultants have hands-on experience inside UTM, UTA, and Ascentis — not just the platforms you're migrating to. We know what's actually inside your legacy system, including what the documentation doesn't say.
-
When gaps surface, Improv can remediate them — configuration repair, migration support, testing services, and ongoing optimization under one roof.
-
We work for you, not any platform vendor. Our assessments are objective, candid, and focused entirely on your migration success — not on closing a vendor's scope.
