Abstract: Technologies for fast, automated replication of an enterprise system from a source computing environment to a target computing environment over a network are provided. A shell system is created by deploying a pre-installed system template in the target computing environment. Customer-specific data from the enterprise system in the source computing environment is exported and written to a set of files. The set of files are uploaded to an upload area of the target computing environment, and the files are imported into the shell system to create the replicated.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for rapidly implementing and deploying enterprise payroll systems. A standard enterprise payroll system is deployed and a pre-configured payroll template is loaded into the standard enterprise payroll system to form a pre-configured standard payroll system. A configuration set containing implementation-specific configuration values is generated based on user provided configuration input and business rule configuration logic from a pre-configured database corresponding to pre-configured payroll template. The generated configuration set is loaded into the pre-configured standard payroll system to create an instantiated enterprise payroll system.
