SAP HCM & Local Payroll

SAP HCM and Local Payroll: Upgrade, Migrate or Go Hybrid?

Many companies have run SAP HCM for years with deeply customised payroll and time rules. With the shift to cloud, there are three common paths: keep upgrading SAP HCM, migrate fully to SuccessFactors, or move to a hybrid of cloud core HR with on-premise payroll and time.

We assess rule complexity, customisation, country footprint and support cost to recommend a path, and run person-by-person parallel comparisons so payroll stays correct through the cut-over.
