It has been noticeable how HR has changed. It was very much an admin function previously. Now you get HR people reaching out to you, asking how they can help. Fairsail [now Sage People] has also freed up IT staff for more productive work. Previously, 12 developers spent 30% of their time just keeping HR databases running; Fairsail [now Sage People] requires just 1.

Their implementation time was much faster than anybody else we looked at and they delivered on time. Fairsail [now Sage People] has transformed our productivity; we used to have 1 HR generalist to every 65 employees whereas now its 1 to every 100.

What made Fairsail [now Sage People]  stand out from the rest of the vendors we looked at were two key things; one was flexibility and the other was customer service. Fairsail [now Sage People] was the only system that we saw that could really meet the needs of a growing organization like Rocketship Education. The return on investment of having  Fairsail [now Sage People] was huge for us.

Fairsail [now Sage People] was much more cost competitive not only when it came to the regular costs but when it came to the implementation cost; when we implemented it took less than 90 days. Over the time that we grew the company from 500 employees to 1900 employees, the department that was responsible for the work being automated has only increased 30% instead of 400%.

We have been very impressed with Fairsail [now  Sage People]  from the start. We had conducted an extensive review of around 11 different HRIS systems and found that  Fairsail [now Sage People] stood out as the product that would best fit our global organization. It′s a product that is very quick to implement, very configurable and critically we found it was very quick to adopt by both our HR team and the wider business employees.
