About Us ABOUT US
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GAUCHOS
1. Control - los gauchos train their horses, a wild animal by nature, to the point that they are completely submissive and trusting of their owner. At GG we take control and ownership of every aspect of our work.
2. Agility - there is no one solution to every problem. At GG we adapt to our clients' needs..and sometimes we are more than happy to show off our skills.
3. Teamwork - we value the partnership we create with our clients and love to share in the success.
WHO ARE WE
We are a small company that services our clients by implementing their HR information systems. We work all aspects of a project, from vendor selection to system and process analysis, to development and quality assurance. We marry all of that with exceptional project management. We have worked with a number of systems, such as PeopleSoft, NuView, ADP, Workday, Taleo, Success Factors, etc.
Our other lines of business include management of technical debt and software asset management.
LOS GAUCHOS
Los gauchos, or South American cowboys, embody many of the same characteristics we strive for at GG. On one side gritty and hard working, and on the other agile and skilled, los gauchos go about their day with the same passion we have at GG.
In the business world the connotation of a "cowboy" can mean a rogue employee. At GG we encourage creativity and are always striving to figure out newer and better ways to service our clients.

DIVERSITY OF KNOWLEDGE
At GG we cover the entire range of the IT implementation spectrum.
First we can help you find the right HRIS for you. We will provide as much guidance as you want, from recommending vendors to walking you through the evaluation process.
Next, we provide the services that are native to any implementation: comprehensive analysis and requirement's documentation, development, QA, and project management.
And then we also provide expertise in the actual content of your HR practices.
What that means is that we can talk to your VP of HR one hour, and then follow that up with a conversation with your head of IT. And in both cases we'll be speaking the same language.
You have a very specific project that requires HRIS expertise. For example, if you are looking to integrate your recruiting application with your HR system, and need to create an interface that feeds candidates into the system to become new hires.

This results in the reduction of costly IT expenditures, department overhead and the risk associated with owning and managing software assets, without compromising the quality of technology and service levels needed for your organization to run at an optimal level.

More to Know Here you will find "More to Know" tidbits previously seen on our Website.
1) Don't settle for mediocrity.
If your system isn't working the way you want it to, find the experts that can help you improve it. If you're concerned with the data integrity of your system or your system interfaces, hire somebody to help improve them, thereby raising your confidence. If the so called "experts" that initially promised to deliver a quality system aren't meeting expectations, find a team with a proven track record to get you where you need to be.
5) Kaizen - Continuous Improvement
While an HRIS implementation may end at Go Live, that does not mean that your system should be stuck in that state forever. When the vendors, consultants and your internal team have finished their work, take some time to enjoy the fruits of your labor and investment. Then, when the time is right, revisit what you wish you had time for during implementation, or what you've noticed in using your system. Then address them based on priority and ROI.
3) You can customize
You can customize, if you absolutey have to. The reason customization gets a bad name is that people inherently stink at executing on them. From requirements gathering, to documentation,development and support...there are a lot of steps where it can go wrong. But it doesn't have to be that way. They are just mini-systems projects, and if executed correctly they can meet a complex business need not offered in a vanilla product, or even in a "configurable" product.
2) Documenting Technology Projects
Successful technology projects should include the right amount of documentation. Too often, requirements and technical specifications contain too much "fluff." This negatively effects the project with extra effort both in writing and deciphering documents. By the same token, not enough concise documentation can lead to additional effort in the back-and-forth between the visionary and developer and can also lead to a product that does not meet expectations.
4) Don't Neglect Security
HRIS Security is one of the most neglected aspects of an implementation. It is critical to define how access to the data and functionality of your system should vary amongst users. By spending adequate time designing and configuring your security architecture, you will ensure that the system is being used and viewed by the appropriate people within your organization. You will also be putting in place controls that may be later verified by an auditor.
6) Organize Your Project
Juggling multiple action items on a project is inevitable. It is when you start having to juggle action items within action items that the balls start to drop. A successful project is one in which tasks are systematically completed, and structure is maintained by one key contributor. Anything else leads to a haphazard project and eventual failure, whether real or perceived.
The change that was just made to your HR System, did it create a future cost for your organization? It’s a question that is most often ignored in the haste to service employees, and more importantly, your executives. What’s almost certainly been incurred is called technical debt, and you will end up paying for that debt in dollars (often in the millions), end user satisfaction, and possibly jobs.
