Key Takeaways
⇨ It’s fair to say that the adoption of cloud technologies in the HCM and Payroll arena has been slower than in other areas of business.

⇨ Below is a simple, high-level understanding of the more-popular options for SAP SuccessFactors HCM and Payroll solutions.
Historically, Human Resources was a back-of-house function with sympathetic counselors and a box of tissues at the ready. Today, HR is part of the C-Suite, often referred to as the leaders who manage a company’s most important assets, its employees.

Added on to that is the understanding of new licensing models and the deployment of a new front-end for HR in the cloud that leverages SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central.
Whether it has been a security concern or a resistance to adopt a new procedure, protocol, or system landscape, marketplace acceptance and adoption of the new SAP SuccessFactors cloud has faced skepticism.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ solution as each company has its own needs, drivers, protocol, and directives. Here, we take a closer look.
