Global payroll tech is having a moment, especially across Asia-Pacific, where compliance shifts and distributed workforces are making payroll accuracy and consistency harder to maintain. Against that backdrop, Ramco Systems has secured Leader placement—again—in Everest Group’s Multi-Country Payroll (MCP) Solutions PEAK Matrix Assessment 2025 for APAC.
This marks Ramco’s fourth consecutive year in the Leader quadrant, and the recognition puts the company squarely among the region’s most mature MCP providers—right as organizations across APAC accelerate digitization, streamline cross-border workforce operations, and push toward touchless payroll cycles.
Everest Group evaluated 28 multi-country payroll vendors, weighing market impact, vision, technology stack, geographic coverage, partner networks, and service delivery strength. Ramco’s consistent performance, particularly in APAC, helped secure its recurring leadership position.
Why Ramco Stands Out in a Crowded MCP Market
Payroll across borders is no longer a “nice-to-modernize” problem—it’s a critical risk area as regulations tighten, employees demand transparency, and HR teams juggle multiple systems. Everest Group says MCP platforms are now central to enterprise operations for ensuring accuracy, compliance, and employee experience across a geographically diverse workforce.
Ramco’s differentiators map closely to those rising enterprise priorities:
1. Deep APAC Roots and Local Regulation Mastery
Two decades of work across Asia-Pacific give Ramco a rare on-the-ground advantage. Everest Group’s VP Priyanka Mitra points to the company’s “deep understanding of local payroll regulations and delivery capabilities” as a core strength—something global-centric vendors often struggle to localize.
2. Technology-Driven Payroll Future
Ramco’s next-gen payroll engine, Ramco Payce, brings AI-driven compliance tracking, real-time analytics, machine learning, RPA, and serverless payroll operations. It’s a tech-forward approach that aligns with what enterprises increasingly want: automation, predictive compliance, and fewer manual interventions.
3. Flexible Service Delivery + Strong Partner Network
Ramco offers multiple deployment models—cloud, integrated HCM partnerships, or managed services—giving multinational organizations options based on their maturity and internal capabilities.
4. Multi-Country Coverage at Scale
With 150+ countries supported and 500+ global customers, Ramco is one of the few MCP vendors that can go deep in APAC without losing global breadth.
Inside the Payce Platform—and the Vision Behind It
Rohit Mathur, Executive VP & SBU Head of Global Payroll & HR at Ramco, said the recognition validates the team’s vision while reinforcing its “focus on driving what comes next.” Payce is Ramco’s modernization hub, featuring:
-
AI-powered compliance tracking
-
Touchless payroll execution
-
Intuitive analytics dashboards
-
A new self-service reporting suite
-
“Actionable payroll workspace” for faster exception resolution
-
Quick implementation toolkits
-
Serverless payroll options
While many legacy payroll providers still rely heavily on batch systems and manual checks, Ramco’s pitch is built around automation, accuracy, and agility—a combination that resonates in a region where speed and compliance often conflict.
What It Means for HR and Payroll Leaders in APAC
With organizations scaling into new countries faster than internal HR teams can keep up, vendors with both regional specialization and global consistency are in demand. Ramco’s repeat appearance as a Leader signals:
-
Strong execution capability in complex, multi-country environments
-
Regional dominance at a time when APAC payroll rules are becoming more complex
-
Increased competition for legacy payroll giants that lack APAC depth
-
A maturing market where AI-driven payroll is transitioning from experimental to expected
And for enterprises still running country-by-country payroll stacks, Everest Group’s assessment is a reminder that the shift toward unified, multi-country payroll platforms is accelerating—powered by automation, integration, and compliance pressure.
