SAP HCM customers face a number of challenges, including that multiple tools are required to run reports, the reliance on specially trained IT resources and essential data not being available in BW. We provide powerful, user-friendly and flexible reporting solutions which solve these challenges by empowering end-users to create reports on their own, live in SAP, without reliance on technical resources [Query Manager](https://www.epiuselabs.com/query-manager?hsLang=en)   ·   [HCM blog](https://www.epiuselabs.com/lets-talk-hcm?hsLang=en)   ·   [Document Builder](https://www.epiuselabs.com/document-builder?hsLang=en)   ·   [Report writing services](https://www.epiuselabs.com/report-writing?hsLang=en) ## Test and upgrade Your employee data never stops changing, which makes it difficult to compare HR and Payroll data from one period to another. Throughout the SAP lifecycle, you need to compare data to ensure consistency and accuracy, including Payroll on a monthly basis, and time data such as overtime. You also need to keep new data in sync with your legacy system, and compare enormous amounts of data during business change. We offer you the power and control you need to highlight variances in SAP HCM data. Many businesses also face a common challenge of how to get real SAP HCM data into non-production systems for testing, training and support. Accurate, reliable test data is essential. Creating testing and training data manually is an option, but this is tedious, costly and prone to errors, and results in considerable business down-time. Data protection is also crucial because of the sensitivity of personal data. Our SAP-certified solutions allow you to select and transfer specific HCM data objects easily and accurately, as needed, and to mask sensitive data for confidentiality, security and governance compliance.

The creation of these letters is manual, time-consuming and error-prone. We offer solutions that enable you to design, generate and distribute professional, richly formatted HR documents automatically, live from your SAP systems.

SuccessFactors offers modules to replace the on-premise solutions in almost all cases, except for Payroll. SuccessFactors doesn’t offer a new payroll solution; rather this leverages the world-class multinational SAP Payroll in a hosted “cloud” environment.  For customers looking to accelerate their HCM cloud journey, we offer the [PRISM Migration Service](https://www.epiuselabs.com/prism?hsLang=en), a turnkey service to help customers move their on-premise SAP Payroll to SuccessFactors’ Employee Central Payroll (ECP) quickly and easily, without requiring a full re-implementation.
