SAP HCM & SuccessFactors

Modern HR processes on S/4HANA and SuccessFactors. Faster payroll, self-services for your employees and planning certainty until 2040.

What it's about

The technical side of your HR roadmap

You can tell an HR transformation has succeeded when the very first payroll run is error-free and the payroll results are available sooner than before.

‍

Every SAP ERP HCM system calls for action

  • Regular maintenance for SAP ERP HCM ends at the close of 2027.
  • SuccessFactors is the strategic direction.
  • Payroll and time management cannot be lifted into the cloud over a weekend.‍

‍We deliver the complete package

  • SAP HCM for S/4HANA, maintained by SAP until 2040, on-premise or as a Private Cloud Edition
  • SuccessFactors with Employee Central.
  • From readiness analysis through H4S4 conversion to integration.

We decide your target vision on the basis of your landscape. Not on the basis of a commitment to the cloud.

Your challenges

Why the time frame is tight

  • End of maintenance: 31 December 2027
    Extended Maintenance incurs additional cost and prolongs that period until 2030. For integrated S/4HANA installations, compatibility mode for HCM runs out earlier.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: in a pre-study we determine the optimal time frame.

  • Payroll allows no postponement
    Collective bargaining rounds, changes in legislation, the turn of the year. The date is fixed, regardless of the project plan.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: we support you on site for the first payroll runs.

  • Target vision still open
    H4S4, Private Cloud Edition or SuccessFactors: the answer depends on your system landscape.‍

    ‍

    Our answer: a reliable recommendation that stands up in a steering committee.
