SAP will end maintenance for SAP HCM on-premise in 2027, with limited extended support until 2030. The migration from on-premise to the cloud is key to keeping your system live, updated ,and secure. But moving to the cloud also provides more visibility into payroll processes, enables greater accuracy and compliance with payroll laws, and improves self-service capabilities for employees. SD Worx's 7-step methodology ensures a smooth and fast on-premise to cloud migration.

SD Worx has a 7-step methodology that smoothens the migration, consisting of : 

  1. Readiness Check: A full check-up of your data to see if Cloud is the right fit for you.
  2. Configuration Migration: Are your old and new systems compatible? Here's where we find out and move it over in just 5 days.
  3. Payroll Control: Meet your Payroll Control Center: a smart, streamlined add-on for consistent processes, precise data, and clear cost management.
  4. Data Migration Strategy: Moving time! Here's where all your data gets refined, integrated and migrated to your new Payroll Control Center.
  5. Interface Strategy & Migration: Let's move your custom objects - after a careful feasibility check, of course, to ensure that only the essential elements are carried over.
  6. Solution Validation: Testing, testing! Time to check if everything's moved over and working correctly.
  7. Happy Cloud Customer

Here are  3 key points to consider to help you make the transition: 

  1. Plan ahead: The sooner you start planning for the transition, the better. Give yourself plenty of time to research cloud providers and assess your needs.
  2. Do your homework: Not all cloud providers are created equal. Take the time to compare features and pricing, and choose a provider that best meets your needs, shows they understand your unique landscape, and can prove they have the capability to deliver a smooth transition for you.
  3. Communicate with your team to ensure the wider adoption of the new system. Bring all relevant stakeholders on board and keep everyone updated on your progress while also assisting with key decision-making along the way.
