Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP Workforce Analytics is being used alongside our existing SAP systems to analyse data such as key performance indicators, expenses and other other performance metrics. It is used across the company and allows us to spot trends in Human Resources data easily while being able to integrate with other tools that we use.

Pros and Cons

Integrates with existing SAP products
Large suite of ways to visualize data
SAP learning tools allow you to use the solution effectively

Expensive compared to other analytics tools
Can be slow to access and refresh often
Big learning curve for new/junior HR specialists

Return on Investment

Positive effect on ROI as we were able to quickly retrieve useful data on expenses, etc.
Being able to use the tool across the organisation saved money compared to each department using their own tool
Little to no downtime improved ROI

Alternatives Considered

BISP Solutions Oracle EPM Consulting

Oracle EPM was used alongside Oracle HR tools and services in the cloud. However, post our migration to SAP, the need for SAP Workforce Analytics was there as we no longer supported Oracle tools. SAP has been better for our company as it better suited our business needs and our large range of international vendors.

Likelihood to Recommend

SAP Workforce Analytics is great for when you have existing SAP HR or other SAP suites and tools. Furthermore, if your employees already have prior training with SAP then the creation of custom analytic visualizations will be easy and will benefit the business. It is less appropriate if you are not doing deep dives into the data you collect.
