Case Study: Datadog achieves global payroll visibility and agility with Papaya Global

World leader in application performance Datadog, gains control and visibility

Datadog, a fast-growing computer software company with about 1,000 employees worldwide, needed a more transparent and flexible way to manage its Employer of Record (EoR) workforce as it expanded globally. Its previous payroll provider offered little visibility into payroll and employee data, limited communication, and lacked the feature-rich, tech-savvy approach Datadog wanted. Papaya Global’s global payroll and EoR platform was chosen to better support Datadog’s pace of growth and company culture.

Papaya Global migrated Datadog’s EoR locations onto its infrastructure, giving the company a single view of employment and payroll data across 160+ countries. With Papaya Global, Datadog can manage global payroll, access real-time BI reporting, process equity on payslips, integrate PTO data, and transition EoR workers to local entities more easily. The results included transforming two EoR locations into entities, improving transparency and communication, and enabling Datadog to scale with greater confidence and less operational friction.
