Journey from On-premise SAP to the Cloud
• SAP announced in 2012 that mainstream support for On-Premise HCM was
guaranteed through calendar year end 2025 with the goal of customers migrating
from SAP HCM to SuccessFactors cloud technology.
On-Premise
Cloud

On Premise vs. Cloud
Any technology that is locally
installed on hardware that
resides in your physical
location.
Example: Microsoft Windows
On-Premise
Cloud
Any technology that does not
require a local installation and
is accessible via any PC that
has access to the Internet.
Example: Gmail
Cloud

SAP HCM Customers
SAP Published Stats (SAP SuccessFactors Q4 Update, December, 2016 )
• 16,000 SAP HCM licenses sold
• 10,000 Payroll licenses sold
Industry Experts Estimation
• 14,000 SAP HCM active customers
• 8,000 Payroll active customers
On-Premise

SAP’s Challenge
• Successfully migrating those 16,000 customers from their beloved SAP HCM
systems to a new technology platform in the cloud whilst also communicating that
it is also a mindset shift from customizing a system from scratch to adapting to a
best practice system all while providing ROI from the switch.
On-Premise

The SAP Way
Customized!
• Many on premise SAP HCM systems are customized, to a large extent, to
satisfy each organizations’ individual unique business needs.
• This includes custom tables, screens, actions/events, workflow, processes,
user exits etc.
• Customers would use the IMG to make basic configuration decisions
(action types, personnel sub groupings, customer specific statuses etc.)
and leverage ABAP code and other utilities to make the system behave in
a manner that was custom and unique to their organization.
• This model allowed for a customer specific experience with the solution
however it required a great deal of maintenance to support it and in many
cases it did not leverage any best practice design methodology.

The SuccessFactors Way
Standardized, best practice design
• SuccessFactors is designed based on best practice methodology.
• It encourages customers to leverage the best practice design whilst
making customer specific business configuration decisions that reflect
your unique organizations needs.
• Listen to SAP SuccessFactors President Mike Ettling explain the shift from
SAP to SuccessFactors at the SAPinsider HR2015 annual conference:
http://sapinsider.wispubs.com/Assets/Videos/2015/March/Mike-Ettling-
HR-2015-Keynote

“Its not a like for like comparison”
• Customized design
• Reliance on IT
• Local installation required
• Resources required to
maintain hardware
• Costly to maintain
• Blueprint
• Best practice design
• No reliance on IT
• No local installation required
• Resources required to maintain
hardware
• No blueprint

Payroll Option #1 – Employee Central Payroll
SuccessFactors does not offer a new payroll solution, rather they leverage the world class
multinational SAP Payroll in a hosted “Cloud” environment by SuccessFactors called Employee
Central Payroll. To move to this model customers are required to do 5 things:
1. Choose from two options for deployment Customer Managed or Partner Managed
2. Purchase a SuccessFactors Employee Central license
3. Purchase a SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll license
4. Re-implement and simplify (remove customizations) in their existing SAP Payroll
5. Build integrations (as needed) to partners for Time and or Benefits processing

SuccessFactors does not offer a new payroll solution, rather they leverage the world
class multinational SAP Payroll in a hosted “Cloud” environment by a *selected SAP
Partner called SAP SuccessFactors Managed Payroll.
To move to this model customers are required to do 3 things:
1. Purchase a SuccessFactors Employee Central license
2. Select a Partner from a list of 3 SAP hand-picked certified vendors
3. Lift and Shift the Payroll
Payroll Option #2 – Managed Payroll
(EPI-USE is a selected partner)

SuccessFactors Customers
SuccessFactors Published Stats (SAP SuccessFactors Q4 Update, December, 2016 )
• 6,000 SuccessFactors licenses sold*
• 1,350 licenses sold for Employee Central
• 4,650 license sold for Talent Solutions*
Notes
• *This is a big jump compared to the previously published number
which was 4,900 (with 1,300 on Employee Central and 3,600 on
Talent solutions). This surge is accredited to the counting of multi-
posting customers and including native solutions.
• Approx. 10% of customers are conversions from SAP On premise
Cloud

Where are Customers at on this Journey?
So… if SAP HCM has 16,000 licensed customers and approximately 10%
have converted from SAP to SuccessFactors what are the approximate
remaining 14,400 up to?
They are at a stage on the journey…
