Case Study: SAGE Publishing achieves faster global tax onboarding and reduced IT burden with Sovos Global Tax Determination

SAGE eases IT burden with Sovos

SAGE Publishing, a global academic publisher, was hindered by an antiquated tax calculation system that slowed expansion and made implementing tax-law changes and new tax liabilities take months. To solve this, SAGE turned to Sovos and deployed Sovos Global Tax Determination (GTD), a SaaS tax engine able to handle complex, multi-country tax rules.

Sovos consolidated SAGE’s global tax processing into a single engine, relieved IT of ongoing maintenance, and gave business teams a front-end for configuration. The switch cut onboarding time for new tax entities from months to weeks, improved tax-calculation accuracy, reduced IT support tickets, and saved multiple hours per month through automatic updates — demonstrating measurable operational and compliance gains for SAGE Publishing.
