In the March 2020 SAPinsider State of the Payroll Market Survey, we learned that for companies with a stated desire to move to Employee Central Payroll, cost is not the top inhibitor. A majority (71%) of those companies said the complexity of their existing on-premise payroll configuration (and the effort to replicate it in a new system) is the top reason preventing them from moving their payroll.

It’s fair to say that of all of the SAP modules, Payroll is often the one that has been customized the most. SAP’s approximately 9,000 licensed payroll customers have been modifying and customizing their payroll for years. It’s not surprising that customers say that they do not wish to move to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll if it means that they will lose all that customization.

SAP SuccessFactors has changed their messaging on this a couple of times in the past few years, as noted in this webinar: Journey from On-premise SAP to SuccessFactors in the Cloud. The big change though was removing the language that a reimplementation was required to move forward with Employee Central Payroll. I think that shift gave customers a renewed sense of curiosity to find out if their highly-customized SAP Payroll would work in Employee Central.
