Fosway recognises SD Worx as a Core Leader in Cloud HR
For the third time in a row, SD Worx, the leading European HR solutions provider, is recognized as a Core Leader in the 2025 Fosway 9-Grid™ for Cloud HR.
September 30, 2025
Fosway Group is an HR industry analyst focused on next-gen HR, talent and learning. Its Fosway 9-Grid™ is a five-dimensional model that helps organizations in the EMEA compare cloud HR solutions. Vendors are assessed on nine criteria, bundled in five domains: Potential, which looks at the scope and sophistication of the solution; Performance, which considers market results, customer success and advocacy; Presence, which reflects market footprint and enterprise adoption; Total Cost of Ownership, which covers the full cost to acquire, implement and operate; and Trajectory, which analyses how current market trends influence a vendor’s performance and potential.
Instead of ranking one zone above all others, the 9-Grid™ shows that each of the nine positions has value depending on an organization's needs. It serves as a reference point for benchmarking providers and creating shortlists during the selection process.
Futureproof solutions supporting the shifts in HR
The recognition is motivated by SD Worx’s strong capability, consistent performance and solid presence in the European market, together with the breadth of SD Worx’s cloud HR offering. SD Worx provides segment specific software for HR processes such as payroll, core HR, reward and workforce management, which can be deployed in different service models and integrated with other systems.
