Payroll Tech Toast 01: What makes payroll seamless?

In this special Global Payroll Week edition of The Payroll Tech Toast, host Nancy from Neeyamo raises a glass to the unsung heroes of payroll technology with industry leader Felicia Cheek from Oracle. Together, they unpack what truly makes payroll seamless in today’s hyper-connected world — and why no system, especially payroll, works in isolation anymore.

From the strategic role of certified integrations to the power of real-time data and the orchestration of upstream and downstream processes, Felicia shares insights from over 30 years in the payroll space. Tune in as she discusses how interoperability reduces compliance risks, the architectural must-haves for global API strategies, and how to navigate complexity at scale with evolving mandates and fragmented systems.

Looking ahead, the episode explores the impact of emerging tech like AI and low-code platforms, and ends with a powerful truth about payroll that still holds firm — and a myth Felicia hopes to retire for good.
