By emphasizing the extensibility of our solutions, UKG customers and their people benefit from applications and real-time data integrations that create empowering people experiences and optimize business outcomes, says UKG.

Accelerating Integration Projects

By introducing technology partnerships with integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) providers The Cloud Connectors and Joynd, in addition to existing iPaaS partners, UKG Pro customers now have access to thousands of additional pre-built integrations and solution connectors, reducing the complexity of integration projects, lowering costs, and accelerating deployment windows.
