Zalaris Consulting and Perisoft Global Services partner to deliver specialist-led SAP Business Suite transformation in Australia

As enterprises modernise legacy environments and transition to public cloud, the integrity of people data has become foundational to financial design, reporting and enterprise intelligence. The joint model ensures HR and Finance transformation are architected together from day one - enabling organisations to align workforce and financial architecture as part of a coordinated, cross-suite cloud strategy. 

Together, Zalaris and Perisoft provide: 

• Workforce architecture aligned to financial design 
• Coordinated cross-suite governance under a structured programme framework 
• AI-ready enterprise data harmonised across HR and Finance 
• An agile specialist delivery model with clear accountability across domains 

The partnership brings together deep expertise in SAP SuccessFactors and workforce transformation with specialist SAP Cloud ERP capability, designed to support both new SAP cloud adopters and organisations migrating from SAP ECC or on-premises environments to public cloud. By aligning workforce and financial architecture within a unified framework, the model reduces complexity and builds confidence in enterprise-scale transformation. 

Daniel Casey, General Manager, SAP ANZ, commented: 

“This partnership reflects exactly the type of specialist collaboration that strengthens SAP’s Business Suite strategy in Australia. By bringing together deep ERP and HCM expertise under a coordinated model, Zalaris and Perisoft are helping customers architect HR and Finance transformation with clarity, governance and long-term value in mind.” 

Mike Ellis, Executive Vice President Global Consulting at Zalaris, said: 

“Zalaris Consulting is seeing a clear shift in how organisations approach transformation - moving beyond siloed programmes to fully integrated Business Suite strategies aligned to SAP’s vision for AI-enabled enterprises. 

Workforce data is central to that shift. HR and payroll are not peripheral systems - they are foundational to financial integrity, enterprise intelligence and AI readiness. 

Through this partnership with Perisoft, we are leading a specialist-led model that brings HR and Finance together from day one - enabling organisations to design, govern and scale transformation as a unified, data-driven programme.” 

Beyond complementary SAP expertise, the partnership is grounded in a shared delivery ethos - customer-centric, highly responsive and outcome-driven. Both organisations operate with clear accountability models, senior-led governance and a commitment to measurable business results. This cultural alignment ensures that cross-suite transformation is executed as a unified programme, not fragmented across disconnected workstreams. 

Mahesh Viswanathan, Managing Director - Perisoft Global Services, added:  

“Modern Finance transformation must be aligned to organisational design and workforce structures, with finance and payroll going hand in hand. Working alongside Zalaris allows us to deliver SAP Cloud ERP programs within a coordinated cross-suite framework, giving customers confidence in both execution and long-term architectural integrity. Additionally, what makes this partnership powerful is not just complementary expertise, but cultural alignment. Both Perisoft and Zalaris operate with a customer-first mindset, senior-led accountability and a focus on delivering measurable outcomes.“ 

Zalaris Consulting contributes deep local HCM and payroll expertise across Australia and New Zealand, supported by global multi-country capability for organisations operating across borders. Perisoft Global Services brings specialist SAP Cloud ERP experience across finance and enterprise operations. 

Together, the partners provide organisations with a structured, specialist-led approach to SAP cloud transformation - accelerating Business Suite value while reducing programme complexity and risk.
