Based on publicly available information, some industry observers have speculated that Lattice may be shifting its strategic focus away from its Lattice HRIS and Lattice Payroll products. Employers who are evaluating their technology options may wish to consider alternative payroll or human capital management (HCM) solutions. The process for doing so generally involves evaluating vendors, securing stakeholder buy-in, transferring data and fulfilling change management responsibilities
Key takeaways:
- Customers evaluating their options may wish to explore alternative providers.
- ADP offers various payroll and HCM solutions that may meet the needs of businesses evaluating their options.

What is the basis for this industry speculation?

- The company launched Lattice AI in October 2025 to position itself as a “system of behavior” vs. a “system of record” for administrative data.
- Also in October, Lattice announced a strategic partnership with Workday to integrate its AI Talent Suite with Workday HCM.
- A November 2025 press release stated that Lattice was shifting away from administrative tasks and investing in their talent suite.
