Federal agencies investing in modern HCM platforms — Oracle, SAP, Workday, and others — are making smart, strategic moves. But here's what the implementation roadmap doesn't show you: phased deployments create months (sometimes years) of fragmented employee experiences — HR staff toggling between legacy and modern systems, employees unsure where to go for what, and service teams absorbing the friction that technology was supposed to eliminate.

This session was designed for federal HR and IT leaders navigating that reality. We unpacked how agencies are using ServiceNow as the unified front door across their HCM transformation — not to replace these platforms, but to make the transition invisible to the workforce. Attendees explored a strategic framework for drawing the line between system of record and engagement layer, real workflow examples from high-impact HR processes, and an honest conversation about what actually reduces the burden on HR teams during modernization.

The session included a brief introduction, strategic overview, practical workflow examples, and an interactive Q&A.
