Case Study: Scholastica achieves faster growth and more time for strategic work with Cognos HR

How Scholastica Laid the Groundwork for Sustained Growth

Scholastica, a software company that helps academic journals streamline peer review and publish open access journals, was growing quickly and needed to move beyond a do-it-yourself approach to HR. Its founders were spending too much time on employee onboarding, payroll, compliance, and benefits research, while also trying to build a culture aligned with their values and keep focus on product development and sales.

Cognos HR, through its PEO and HR services, stepped in to handle payroll, new hire paperwork, benefits administration, and other key HR functions. With Cognos HR taking these tasks off their plate, Scholastica was able to hire several new employees, improve benefits, and grow to serve more than 750 academic journals while giving the founders more time and peace of mind to focus on strategic growth.
