SAP strategy for HCM users – Securely positioned for the future

Möglichkeiten der SAP HXM-Strategie
Possibilities of the SAP HXM strategy

The SAP Cloud strategy provides that SAP HCM ERP user companies are to change over to the Full HXM Cloud in the long term and, as a consequence, manage all HR processes in SAP SuccessFactors. The SAP strategy offers SAP HCM user companies planning security: The on-premises SAP ERP HCM solution will be available to users as usual until 2030 with extended maintenance.

As an alternative, SAP offers SAP HCM for S/4HANA (H4S4). The variant is based on S/4HANA – on-premises or private cloud – with a promised runtime until 2040. For users running SAP HCM on-premises, the ability to run core HR functions, such as payroll and time management, is therefore still guaranteed. In addition, it is important to prepare the way towards Full HXM Cloud in the next few years and to already make the transition step by step, for instance via hybrid scenarios. 

Due to the availability of the integrated HCM module, a carve-out into an independent HCM system is not mandatory any longer. However, the benefits of an exported HCM system still plead for a carve-out of the SAP HCM module. They include a significantly increased data security due to the reduced number of users in the independent HCM system with clear authorization structures, for instance. Thanks to the independence of other SAP modules upon importing updates and features, an exported HCM system always guarantees state-of-the-art HR functionalities based on the current technology status. SAP optimization FIS/hrd ensures maximum security and efficiency in case of an SAP HCM carve-out.

Data Protection and Audit Compliance in SAP HCM

Data protection and security play a distinguished role in human resources due to personal data. For additional protection of sensitive employee data, which goes far beyond the authorization system in the SAP standard version, and an audit-proof development, FIS offers an SAP optimization for migration and revision in SAP HCM. Thanks to different components, SAP optimization FIS/hrd, which is individually adjusted to the respective enterprise, significantly increases the protection of personal information in the SAP system. The application is fully integrated in SAP HCM and rounds off the complete FIS package for advanced HR management in SAP HR.

Your additional benefits for SAP HCM due to the applications of the FIS/hrd product line:

  • Audit compliance
  • Traceability of all changes
  • Time saving and high data quality
  • All results can be compared (time evaluation, travel expenses, payrolls)
  • Individual adjustment through Customizing
