Let's Talk HCM

Reporting is still considered one of the single biggest challenges for SAP HCM & Payroll, and one reason is the reliance on custom reports written in ABAP. As I’ve mentioned before, there is a risk in doing this as you rely on the accuracy of the coder; and more importantly, a cost associated with the development and upkeep of these reports.

We’ve developed a quick little calculator that you can use to see just how much you are spending building these custom reports. It’s free, and easy to fill out via three simple steps.

As outlined in my earlier blog titled Staying in the Know with Quarterly Updates from SAP SuccessFactors, I like how easy it is to stay in the know on the latest updates for our Human Capital Management systems. SAP SuccessFactors continually makes key information available to customers and partners. Below are my top three ways to stay in the know with SAP SuccessFactors:

1. SAP SuccessFactors Release Updates

If you are an SAP SuccessFactors customer, it’s likely that you have heard that the future of all reporting for Human Capital Management is via SAP SuccessFactors People Analytics. The picture below gives you a look at where People Analytics fits within the overall strategy for the Intelligent Enterprise, and you can read more in this blog, including what I learned at last month’s annual SAP SuccessConnect conference.

What many SAP insiders have long suspected was officially announced at the DSAG Annual Congress, and at the SAP SuccessFactors SuccessConnect Annual event held in Las Vegas last week. SAP SuccessFactors has made a few announcements regarding the journey to the cloud for its customers. To follow the journey from the start, please check out The Ultimate Guide: SAP HCM & Payroll options for existing customers.

Here are some highlights from the SuccessConnect Event:

• Carve out no longer required:  '11 More Years of On-Premise SAP Payroll'
  
• The number of Employee Central Payroll customers doubled from 2018 to 2019
• SAP has changed direction on Time Management in SuccessFactors
• It's easier than ever before to move from on-premise Payroll to EC
• Additional licensing model added
