Creating a consistent HR experience – worldwide

Having expanded globally, partly through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), SDL’s HR team was managing multiple offices in various countries and had inherited several legacy HR systems that could not be integrated. These were inefficient and resource-intensive. SDL wanted a single, consistent HR experience for all 3,000 employees, regardless of location. 

We have done a lot of M&A work … we ran as highly autonomous divisions. It could take up to three days to work out the headcount in just one division.

Sage’s global capabilities make the difference

Having considered 12 suppliers, SDL chose to deploy Sage’s global HR solution across all regions along with Payflow, a data aggregator. This gave SDL the scope to access critical HR information without manual intervention. SDL chose Sage over its competitors for its depth of functionality and ability to support rapid global deployment. 

SDL selected Sage People global HR solution due to its international capacity and ability to implement a cost-efficient HR platform across … languages and currencies.

Sage People unites a global workforce and frees up resources

With Sage People in place, SDL’s HR teams now have time to focus on key business matters such as strategy and productivity. IT staff have been freed up in a similar way. The project has given SDL’s employees a clear picture of the overall company and created a sense of unity for its geographically diverse workforce. 

The response from our HR managers has been great I’m confident that Sage People will become the backbone of our HR strategy.
