HR IT is simpler as-a-Service

From on-premise to hybrid to the cloud

Digital technologies make it easier to provide HR services more efficiently in your company. But, HR systems must be tailored to the individual needs of the company—and also be future-proof. Modern HR uses IT applications whether on-premise or, increasingly, in the cloud, using as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Many organizations even run hybrid environments that use both SAP HCM systems and SAP SuccessFactors. Whatever the combination is, SaaS solutions are proven to be cost effective and flexible to meet the needs of the business in the long term.

Out with the old, in with the new

Software-as-a-Service makes life easier for HR teams. Instead of using the individually adapted applications of the past, they can tap into a highly standardized and efficient environment. Using SaaS does not require installation, coordination, or internal project demands. Software is no longer run within your company, but provided as a service by SAP. Additional innovative functions are not painstakingly developed and rolled out in-house, but provided by the software manufacturer and automatically applied. Just like that. Simple and fast, SaaS optimizes the user interface and offers a new, improved user experience.
