CloudDesk® vs. SAP Workforce Analytics

[CloudDesk is] well suited to cater for all your employee work progress needs. Its quite useful as its an app that allows you to keep track of remote workers across multiple time zones, especially during the worldwide pandemic. It can be used for different size businesses and industries. Very useful app, highly recommended product!!!

I have solved numerous business process problems by automating with SAP Workforce Analytics (WF). I have also used the PM module and routemap functionality to automate other general HR processes not tied to performance or compensation planning. For example, I created electronic versions of an employee change form and used the system to route it to approvers.

CloudDesk is more flexible in the sense that it is easier to use and is affordable. Moreover, the app is extremely easy to use, and adoption amongst employees is higher than that of other tracking apps, as employees understand what they are signing up for. Overall, its great for monitoring desk-based employees

• CloudDesk® is very affordable

• Having a single enterprise-wide HR system has proven to be more effective and more strategically focused than what we had offered to organizations before with a fragmented systems landscape. This allows the organizations to have lower staffing requirements, and to use higher level practices on our transactional environments.
• One of the best ROI points for SAP WF is that you can measure and compare business processes against comparable processes in leading organizations and industry best practices to help identify and implement improvements.
• Finally, some of the individual key factors that helps determine the ROI and TCO are: reduction in cost due to elimination of payroll outsourcing providers, fewer development and test staff needed for application customization and integration, lower annual maintenance and support fees for application software and databases, and reduction or elimination of support fees or mission-critical consulting and professional services.
