Customers must decide to

maintain data in one
system or the other.
Integration will then
migrate the relevant
Payroll data to the onpremise system

The amount of data to be

moved may vary
- Do we just need to run
payroll?
- Do we have other
interfaces / reports /
functionality that
requires additional
data

SAP Has Introduced Employee Central Payroll as

an Alternative

EC Payroll is a hosted SAP ERP

environment. Customers will
migrate to this environment
when
- They are a new
implementation
- They do not want to
maintain their existing SAP
infrastructure

Most Existing SAP Customers Are Keeping Their

Payroll On-Premise For Now

Why Move to the Cloud?

There are many reasons for this, including:
-

Better functionality (Example: Recruiting, Learning, Compensation)

Future-proof: SAP will invest most of their revenue into this direction
No need for infrastructure
Automatic updates of releases

The move needs a business case and often savings to go with it

My Observations: What are Customers Doing?

Existing SAP Customers - SuccessFactors
- Many have implemented one or more SuccessFactors modules
- They often start by selecting modules that they are not already using
in SAP
- Replacing the SAP modules with SuccessFactors modules is dependent
upon Need / Functionality and Roadmap. Example: Many customers
move to SuccessFactors Recruiting due to additional functionality
- Some customers are implementing Employee Central instead of rolling
out Employee Self-Service / Manager Self-Service
- Some are implementing Workforce Analytics but not as much uptake
yet as I would have thought

My Observations: What are Customers Doing?

Existing SAP Customers SAP ERP
- Planning to leave payroll on-premise
- Upgrading their existing SAP environments
- Taking advantage of HR Renewal and Fiori functionality
- Starting to see some customers migrating onto HANA as part of
systemwide upgrades (For example: As part of upgrading existing CRM
functionality onto HANA)
- There is interest in mobile applications (Fiori) but we havent see a lot
of customers roll this out

- Now looking to invest where clear business process

improvements can be made

My Observations: What are Customers Doing?

New SAP / SuccessFactors Customers
- Implementing straight away to the cloud (SuccessFactors and
Employee Central Payroll)
- Not all are going to the cloud - Some are still implementing onpremise

Final Considerations (Especially for Payroll

Customers)
Overall There is no single direction. As SAP states:
Start Anywhere, Go Everywhere
Regardless of whether Payroll is in the Cloud or remains onpremise, from a Payroll perspective it is valid to still invest
in/maintain these environments
Reporting
- Determine what is Analytic vs. Transactional
- Use the right tool for the right job
- No one tool will do everything
