Market Segment

SagePeople is considered a Mid-Enterprise HRIS, which means the system works best for companies with between 250 and 2,500 employees. Mid-Enterprise solutions are designed to be all-in-one HRIS's for companies with a moderate-to-high degree of complexity. Mid-Enterprise solutions typically take about 4-5 months to implement and occasionally require external consultants to successfully implement and manage the solutions. Mid-Enterprise solutions have more custom workflow tools and rules engines to support a business's growing complexity.

Costs

SagePeople charges companies on a quarterly or annual subscription basis. Depending on the modules included and the size of your company, SagePeople software fees can cost between $12 and 16 PEPM.
