Zalaris achieves SAP Gold Partner status in Australia

Zalaris, a leading global provider of SAP SuccessFactors consulting, licencing, live system support, and managed payroll services, today announced it has achieved SAP Gold Partner status in Australia, marking a major milestone in its local growth since entering the market in 2022.

With over 25 years of global experience, Zalaris helps organisations transform how they manage people and payroll through high-quality consulting, live system support, and managed services that drive efficiency, compliance, and employee experience. The organisation’s Gold Partner recognition reflects its consistent delivery of measurable business value, deep SAP SuccessFactors expertise, and commitment to quality at every stage of the customer journey.

Earlier this year, Zalaris also received the 2025 SAP Partner Excellence Award for People Development, recognising the company’s investment in consultant capability and quality, ensuring every project and live system delivers long-term value for customers.

“Achieving Gold Partner status is a proud milestone for our team and our customers,” said Claire Badger, Senior Vice President APAC, Zalaris. “It reflects our investment in consultant quality - people who understand complex HR and payroll transformations and focus on driving real business outcomes. Our focus is always on value: delivering solutions that align to business goals, accelerate time to benefit, and create lasting impact for our customers.”

Fraser Browne, General Manager, SAP SuccessFactors - Northern Region, SAP Australia, added:
“Partners like Zalaris play a vital role in SAP’s HCM strategy, especially for the mid-market and corporate segments. With solutions such as Zalaris’ PeopleHub, customers can achieve rapid implementation timeframes and realise value from the full SAP SuccessFactors suite faster.”

Zalaris’ local team has proven delivery capability across mid-market and corporate segments - from streamlined activations for smaller organisations through to complex 'Move to Cloud' programs and multi-country payroll transformations. Since launching in Australia, Zalaris has supported leading clients such as Engenco, HenderCare, Goulburn Valley Water and Sealord among others, reflecting its strong reputation for quality delivery, trusted partnerships, and ongoing customer success.

“Reaching Gold Partner status in Australia marks an important step in our global growth journey,” said Hans-Petter Mellerud, CEO and founder, Zalaris. “It reflects our expanding presence in key markets and the strong partnership we’ve built with SAP to deliver lasting value for organisations worldwide.”

Globally, Zalaris operates across 150+ countries, holds over 400 SAP SuccessFactors certifications, and maintains a 100% project scoping accuracy rate, consistently delivering cost-effective, high-quality outcomes for customers.
