ECP vs on-premise payroll differentiators
Employee Central Payroll leverages On-Premise Payroll, but they are not the
same.
Employee Central Payroll has higher level of standardization than On-Premise
Payroll.
Modifications of SAP source code are not permitted (basic cloud quality)
Extensibility options are limited compared to HCM on-premise
ECP
Employee Central Payroll is not a back door hosting option for on-premise
functionality.
On-Premise Time Management, Benefits, Org Management, and so on, cannot be
used with Employee Central Payroll. Instead, Employee Central Payroll uses
respective EC functionality (or 3rd party certified by SAP)
There is no Lift&Shift from On-Premise Payroll to Employee Central Payroll.
It is a new implementation best described as carve out & migrate.
On-Premise
Migration services are available
