We are here to answer your questions

The end of standard support for SAP ERP HCM on-premise is scheduled for 2027, with extension options for certain customers up to 2030 under SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud. Anticipating your migration to SAP Employee Central Payroll (ECP) enables you to avoid the bottleneck effect caused by high demand for SAP skills, better control your project timeline, and drive your transformation without facing the constraints of a rushed migration.

Key Data Categories Covered in the Migration:

  • Organizational data;
  • Employee data;
  • Organizational assignments;
  • Cost centers;
  • Absences and specific time management data, depending on the selected scenario.

The exact scope is tailored during the initial discovery phase, clarifying which data requires a one-off migration and which flows will be automatically synchronized between systems.

While both solutions run on the same robust SAP payroll engine,heir deployment models offer distinct advantages.
