Globally, the majority of SAP HCM customers are still on an on-premise deployment, often with an SAP Payroll, and the knowledge about their options of how long they can keep it varies in each market. SAP HCM on-premise customers have several options that allow them to either invest in innovation, or extend their on-premise investment with SAP S/4HANA.

I had such a wonderful experience at the SAP SuccessFactors HR Connect Dubai event this month. I find spending time with our existing and potential clients around the world very rewarding.

 

Regardless of whether I am at an SAP or SAP SuccessFactors event in the Americas, Australia, Europe or the Middle East, there is still a consistent theme when I speak to customers:

Blog quote

We understand that we have to ‘do something’ with our SAP Payroll, but we aren’t clear on our options and the urgency associated with each. We need guidance to make and defend our business decisions, and deploy them with confidence, while operating in a continuously evolving market.

Globally, the majority of SAP HCM customers are still on an on-premise deployment, often with an SAP Payroll, and the knowledge about their options of how long they can keep it varies in each market. The SAP SuccessFactors directive on this subject has not changed; their strategy has always been that a movement to the cloud is where innovation can be found. However, the dates that customers can extend their on-premise investments have changed a bit over the years – from 2020, 2025, 2027, 2030, through to 2040. This is testament to SAP continuing to support their large customer base, while giving them an opportunity to innovate with the cloud.

 

As defined in the table below, SAP HCM on-premise customers have several options that allow them to either invest in innovation, or extend their on-premise investment with SAP S/4HANA.

 

So the conversations I have focus around this thinking:

Blog quote

Each business is unique, and you want your path to digital transformation and the cloud to be in line with your specific requirements and goals. At EPI-USE Labs, we have the tools to help you determine which path is best for you. We leverage an assessment that helps you to evaluate what you have now, so you can design where you need to go, and when, in the best way for your business.

Blog line

Our unique value proposition in this space extends beyond that assessment; we are the most experienced Payroll consultants with a global presence, and we use SAP-certified solutions. We invented the PRISM assessment to allow SAP customers to have all the facts to make an informed decision about their path forward, without risk.

 

We'd love to talk to you about your requirements, so please don't hesitate to reach out.
