Fourth Analytics vs. SAP Workforce Analytics

It is most well-suited when analysing absence and looking for trends in order to be proactive as a business and address the various reasons causing this. It is less appropriate for maybe more financial based tasks, unless directly related to HR functions and processes within an organisation.

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.

• 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.
