Case Study: Worldwide Clinical Trials achieves 40% HR productivity boost with Sage Intacct

Sage People improves the global health of HR at research organization

Worldwide Clinical Trials is a global contract research organization with more than 2,000 employees across 60+ countries. Rapid growth and multiple acquisitions left the company managing a patchwork of on‑prem systems, spreadsheets, and regional tools, which made compliance, reporting, and basic HR administration slow and error‑prone. Leadership hired a chief people officer and set out to replace disparate systems with a single cloud HR platform.

By implementing Sage People as its global HR system of record, Worldwide consolidated processes, automated workflows, and integrated with systems like ADP, SAP Concur, Saba, and Power BI. The change delivered a 40% reduction in HR administrative effort, faster onboarding and self‑service for employees and managers, richer people analytics for executive decision‑making, and clear cost insights that enabled workforce‑footprint optimization and improved talent retention.
