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.
