MINNEAPOLIS and TORONTO, Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dayforce, Inc., a global human capital management (HCM) leader that makes work life better, today announced a strategic alliance with Deloitte that expands their established relationship across go-to-market, delivery, and co-innovation. Together, Dayforce and Deloitte will collaborate on opportunities, deliver transformations, and develop new solutions on the Dayforce™ Agentic HCM Platform.
The announcement was made at Dayforce Discover, the company’s flagship customer conference, where Dayforce unveiled its Agentic HCM Platform — weaving native AI across a more open, connected platform so organizations can get answers, take action, complete work, and build what's next for their businesses.
HR and payroll leaders are being asked to modernize faster while navigating growing regulatory complexity, workforce change, and rapid advances in AI. Payroll is also subject to critical financial controls, making accuracy, compliance, and auditability priorities for HR and finance leaders alike. Organizations need trusted technology, transformative expertise, and solutions that can keep pace long after go-live. The Dayforce and Deloitte alliance brings these capabilities together.
What the alliance means for customers and prospects
Aligned from day one— Dayforce and Deloitte will plan and pursue opportunities together with strategy, solution design, and delivery aligned from the start to reduce handoffs and risk in large, complex deployments.
Compliance built into the flow of work— Deloitte is building its controls experience into Dayforce, beginning with an application for Dayforce Build designed to bring SOX 404 payroll control reviews, variance checks, and sign-offs into Dayforce with a full audit trail.
Expanded Dayforce depth— More Dayforce training for Deloitte practitioners grows the bench of certified talent available to customers.
Innovation that continues after go-live— On the Dayforce platform, Deloitte is building industry and compliance solutions natively in Dayforce, so customers gain new capability without custom integrations or added vendors.
From delivery to co-innovation
The alliance builds on a strong delivery relationship. Deloitte has been a Dayforce systems integrator since 2024 and is part of the service delivery expansion of the Dayforce Partner Network. The alliance moves the relationship beyond delivery to shared go-to-market in the United States and co-innovation on the Dayforce platform.
Deloitte is one of the first collaborators building on Dayforce Build, a conversational new way for Dayforce customers and partners to create apps, bots, and documents – all within Agentic Dayforce HCM. Deloitte’s first application is designed to help organizations manage SOX 404 payroll controls, variance reviews, and sign-offs directly in Dayforce, with a full audit trail to reduce the manual evidence gathered by payroll and finance teams during every audit cycle. It is the starting point for how Dayforce and Deloitte plan to bring new solutions to customers.
