Case Study: WANdisco (global distributed‑computing company) saves time and gains payroll control with IRIS Software Group's Managed Payroll Service

How does payroll outsourcing help the UK operations of a global company

WANdisco, a public distributed‑computing company with dual headquarters in Sheffield and Silicon Valley and 80 UK‑based employees, faced limited visibility and support from its small independent accountant and needed better control, faster reporting and less payroll admin. To address this, WANdisco engaged IRIS Software Group and moved to the IRIS Managed Payroll Service (with IRIS OpenPayslips) to outsource payroll processing and payslip distribution.

IRIS Software Group implemented a fully outsourced payroll using its HMRC‑accredited software, taking over data transfer, payroll runs and HMRC contact, and enabling WANdisco to approve runs by reviewing only monthly changes. The change cut the internal payroll task from roughly a day to about two hours—saving almost a full working day each month—while improving reporting, control and support; WANdisco reports increased trust in IRIS and recommends the service.
