Over the past year, SAP has made it abundantly clear that they will funnel all innovation capabilities through the cloud. It sees the cloud as essential for transformation and AI, as evidenced by its strong earnings from Q2 2024.
SAP board member Thomas Saueressig recently told SAPinsider that the company would constantly roll out exciting innovations that allow users to improve workflows and bolster their business practices across all vital work functions. HR leaders should take note of this commitment to the cloud and ensure that they are able to access the latest innovations through SAP SuccessFactors HCM in the Cloud.

Intelligent insights – Businesses that move to SuccessFactors HCM can access org charts to get a holistic understanding of the people that make up the organization. Furthermore, they can leverage embedded analytics to make data-driven decisions for their HR processes.
Convenience – SuccessFactors HCM allows companies to create HR workflows, quickly and easily import employee data, and allow users to work from anywhere through the SAP SuccessFactors Mobile App. SuccessFactors does not exist in a vacuum, so organizations should integrate the solution with other SAP and third-party applications.
Innovate and Expand – No two organizations are exactly the same, each has different needs and goals. To bolster customizability, SuccessFactors HCM offers extensibility frameworks to address specific needs. Users can also leverage the Upgrade Center to continuously upgrade their SuccessFactors solution.
AI – HR teams are under pressure to deliver results while often not receiving additional budget or manpower to do so. SAP’s AI copilot Joule can help answer questions and deliver guidance to simplify vital HR tasks, leaving HR professionals to do other important work.
Conclusion
Like other important workflows, HR tasks can always benefit from the innovation that flows from the cloud. Organizations must move HR to the cloud to take advantage of these capabilities. However, not all moves to the cloud are the same. Companies must find trusted partners like HRIZONS that have extensive experience guiding HR teams on their journey to the cloud, tailoring these digital transformations to ensure that companies can reap all the benefits that SAP’s cloud-focused innovation has to offer.
