UKG Honors Ascend for Partnership and Performance Excellence

BOULDER, Colo. - Oct. 28, 2024 - PRLog -- Ascend, one of the largest UKG services providers, has been honored with the prestigious UKG Regional Systems Integrator Partner of the Year award at the 2025 UKG SKO event in Nashville, TN. This award recognizes a partner who excels in innovation, collaboration, influence, and providing first-class customer service. UKG acknowledged Ascend's outstanding performance, establishing the benchmark for the UKG Partner Network.

UKG Sales Kick-Off (SKO) brings together more than 2,000 staff members from UKG's Sales, Presales, and supporting teams from around the globe for training, business development, and networking.

"Our recognition as UKG Service Partner of the Year highlights our relentless drive for excellence and our dedication to transforming HCM and workforce management practices for organizations," said Lou Sylaj, CEO of Ascend. "With a vision to become the preferred UKG Service Partner, we focus on inspiring our teams and delivering unmatched experiences through a wide array of UKG services. We have consistently set high standards in customer satisfaction and service delivery, and our dedication to providing customized support and strategic solutions has established us as a trusted partner of UKG."

Ascend, forged from the merger of HRMS Solutions and ATS Management Consulting, has been a UKG-certified partner since 2017, providing exceptional UKG implementation services to both enterprise and mid-market clients across a wide array of industries. With a creative solution approach, exceptional service delivery, a teamwork mindset, and ability to impact positive change, Ascend is a valuable asset to UKG-using customers, and to the UKG Partner Network. Ascend's commitment as an exclusively UKG provider with white-glove service delivery to over 800 clients has also been a key and consistent factor in their success, shown by eight past UKG awards since partnership inception.

Patrick Lannon, Vice President of Global Alliances at UKG, presented the award at the event. He recognized Ascend as a partner who exemplifies the ideal combination of innovator, collaborator, influencer, and white glove partner, setting the gold standard in everything they do.

Ascend's recognition at the 2025 SKO event underscores their exceptional performance and dedication to excellence. As they continue to innovate and collaborate with UKG, they will undoubtedly set the bar even higher for the entire partner network.

"This achievement wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and efforts of our amazing Ascenders, who continue to push boundaries and deliver exceptional outcomes,' added Mike Maiorino, President and COO. " I'm incredibly proud of the work we've done together, and I'm even more excited about what's ahead as we continue to drive the best experience possible for our UKG Pro®, UKG WFM™ and UKG Ready® clients."
