    Chose SAP Core HR and Payroll
    I can’t remember the name of previously used HR systems, as it has been a long time since I have used a different one. I’m not the decider of the system we use in our company so I can’t speak to why this was chosen over other options, but it has been in place for the majority …

    Chose SAP Core HR and Payroll
    I can only explain that my experience with other tools' interfaces is better than SAP. SAP seems to be on its own not following the common conventions and standards.

    Chose SAP Core HR and Payroll
    We use SAP HR and Payroll because in our company it is the corporate mandate. However, based on our regional/business unit requirements and strategic plans other system would provide a better fit. However, just like in many large global corporations these type of decisions are …

    SAP Core HR and Payroll
    Likelihood to Recommend
    SAP
    SAP HR can be well suited for global companies with operations in multiple countries. The Payroll module needs to be limited to one instance per country, otherwise trying to maintain multiple countries on the same instance is too complicated. I would not recommend using SAP HR and Payroll for smaller companies because the total cost of ownership and the lack of flexibility will make it unfeasible. There are many cloud-based options now a days available that would fit better for this type of scenario.

    Return on Investment
    SAP
    • SAP HR is suited for large companies with a sufficient budget. Small budgets will not be able to cover the expensive licensing, technical personnel and consultants required of an SAP installation.
    • In regards to the total cost of ownership, my ROI experience has been that by replacing SAP HR modules with cloud solutions we have been able to reduce the cost up to 60% while modernizing our systems and improving the employee experience.
    • I would encourage decision makers to look for cloud-based alternatives with a robust system integration, before believing that supporting every area of HR with a single SAP installation is a good long-term strategy. Having SAP HR as the core integrated to best-in-class cloud-based systems is a very valid and effective system strategy.
