Alight Solutions (Alight), headquartered in Lincolnshire, IL, is a privately held, technology-enabled provider of health, wealth, payroll, HR, and financial solutions.
The current organization was formed in November 2019 when Alight acquired NGA HR, significantly expanding its geographic reach and capabilities across its managed payroll and cloud HR services.
Alight's combined managed payroll services experience spans over fifty years, dating back to 1969 when NGA HR operated as a software business called CMC, later growing through a number of re-brands and acquisitions until its acquisition by Alight in 2019. Alight's legacy payroll services experience dates back to 2004 when it entered the multi-process HR outsourcing space through its acquisition of Exult. Alight has since developed deep expertise in delivering payroll administration services to large, complex organizations leveraging leading HCM platforms (e.g., Workday, SAP, Oracle/PeopleSoft).
Today the combined Alight and NGA HR organization employees >15k employees, ~7.6k dedicated to its global HCM offering, and produces $114b in annual payroll transactions.
Alight primarily targets large enterprise and upper-middle market multinational firms for its managed payroll services.
