Sterling has been a true bright spot in a pretty dark year. Our partnership with Sterling began in mid-2020. Prior to that Sterling performed admirably for our Senior Care organization, “The Good Samaritan Society.” As a result of that partnership, and their convincing results amidst a pandemic, Sanford Health was compelled to reevaluate their existing partnership with another vendor. We knew we needed a partner that could deliver speed, accuracy, and technical expertise with Workday. Sterling shined when we did our vendor analysis, and I am happy to report that six months later we feel very thankful for the expansion of our partnership with Sterling.”

Having a focus on healthcare and knowing what my team deals with really helps us. It gives me more confidence that Sterling really knows what’s going on in my industry. I can trust what they say, and they bring more to the table in terms of knowing what other companies in my industry are doing.”

Sterling breaks out its teams by industry and has true market experts in those fields. Every industry has their own particular standards, so the fact that Sterling has a healthcare team that understands our unique challenges at Boston Children’s Hospital works really well for us.”

The biggest difference between Sterling and our previous vendor is the level of customer service and partnership we've received. It is incomparable. With our previous vendor, we never had the support needed for our international hiring initiatives and we went two consecutive months with no responses from our account representative. It is a night and day difference with the attentive, detail-oriented, client focused service Sterling has provided through the sales process all the way through implementation. Flatiron is very happy with Sterling."

I've had the opportunity to meet and work with Jon at Sterling for the first time on a large scale implementation. Despite it being a complex implementation through an acquisition, and the tyranny of distance with us being on opposite sides of the world, it has been a great success by all measures. Right from first hearing our requirements, to designing the best solution, and leading his team through implementation, Jon has brought an infectious optimism and a confidence that leaves you feeling nothing is impossible. I hope to work with Jon again in the future and would not hesitate to recommend his partnership to anyone who needs his help."
