Speeding up your SAP HCM move to the cloud in 2024
2023 was another record-setting year for SAP customers moving their Human Capital Management processes to the cloud. More SAP ERP HCM customers than ever before embarked on the journey with us, from hire-to-retire, including core HR, time, payroll and much more.
New tools, services and assets are helping to accelerate and de-risk the process of moving HR to the cloud. Several are even free, or available at no extra cost to customers with SAP Support. This blog post will be the first of three in a series covering developments that may be new to many of you, specifically:

SAP Readiness Check for SAP SuccessFactors solutions
From its launch in October 2022, SAP Readiness Check for SAP SuccessFactors solutions tool adoption has outpaced our most optimistic projections. Feedback from customers and partners has been universally enthusiastic, and they are telling their friends – and us. And that input has led us to make the tool even better through more than a dozen enhancements delivered in 2023, with more to come in 2024.
SAP Readiness Check for SAP SuccessFactors solutions tool has now been run more than 500 times, in 42 countries, helping customers to accelerate and de-risk their moves beyond on-premise SAP ERP Human Capital Management.
This SAP Readiness Check tool has saved many of these customers big money on consulting costs, while providing the equivalent of an MRI or x-ray into their as-deployed HCM configuration, including integrations, customizations, and usage data for key processes. Many customers have run it several times, in order to confirm the effect of their pre-migration clean-up efforts. Customers with employee counts ranging from under 500 employees to those with over 500,000 have all accrued benefits.
Based on the analysis of the source system, the tool provides a comprehensive overview of specific parameters delivering:
Employee Insights
This reveals the distribution of employee master data figures per region, process, or status. Leverage this information in further discussions with an implementation partner to assess the migration project complexity.
Organizational Structure Analysis
Insight into the organizational structure master data will help to establish an understanding of key figures related to the allocation of employee-related data.
Important HCM Data
Insight into other HCM objects relevant to the HCM system setup, such as payroll calendars and payroll frequency defined within the analyzed system.
Custom Code Analysis
Insight into the volume and variety of custom code objects.
Understanding the status quo is a vital starting point for your HR journey to the cloud, which SAP Readiness Check for SAP SuccessFactors solutions tool delivers. The next step typically entails engaging experts to help you to understand your options, and to build your case for change. We’ve got a couple of options to help, specifically:
The SAP Customer Evolution Kit for HXM provides SAP ERP HCM customers with a free workshop to help them get ready to modernize their HR system.
