As 2027 approaches, SAP clients using traditional Human Capital Management (HCM) systems are coming to a significant crossroad. SAP has announced the end of mainstream support for its SAP On-Premise HCM and Payroll solutions, by the end of 2027. This pivotal moment serves as a compelling call to action for organisations that wish to future-proof their operations.
Customers that are currently on SAP HCM Payroll On-Premise will have to select to migrate to either SAP HCM for S/4HANA On-Premise (H4S4), SAP S/4HANA Private Cloud Edition (PCE) which provides the current level of functionality found within your existing SAP On-Premise with a few additional benefits.
The third option is to migrate to SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite. This option allows for an enhanced user experience and ensures global compliance in the cloud (additionally, this option allows partners to build localizations and extensions) with no defined end date for support.
The future is in the cloud, and the SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite is at the forefront of this digital transformation in human resources. However, migration to these cloud-based platforms can often be viewed as a complex, time-consuming, and risky venture. That's where Nexus Suite comes into play.
In this blog, we'll unpack the urgency to migrate before the2027 deadline and explore how the Nexus Suite can make your transition not just feasible but highly advantageous. We'll substantiate our claims with real-world case studies to demonstrate the ROI, efficiency, and strategic benefits of using Nexus Suite for your migration journey.
Stay with us as we delve into this critical transition that every organisation currently using SAP HCM and Payroll user must consider well before the clock runs out.
The Imperative to Migrate: Risks of Staying On-Premise
The 2027 deadline isn’t just a date on the calendar; it represents a watershed moment for organisations committed to optimising their human resources and payroll processes. Staying with SAP’s on-premise HCM and Payroll solutions beyond this point has several implications:
Limited Support: While extended support might be available, it's often cost-prohibitive and doesn't include updates or enhancements.
Missed Innovation: Cloud-based solutions are continuously updated with new features, something you'll miss out on if you stick with on-premise systems.
Operational Risks: As technology evolves, older systems become more vulnerable to security risks and compliance issues.
Reasons to migrate to SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite:

In the ever-evolving landscape of business technology, Nexus Move offers a seamless pathway for businesses venturing into SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite. Here, we delve into the salient features and benefits that make Nexus Move a powerhouse in facilitating smooth transitions:
1. Configuration & Foundation Objects
Employee Central: Nexus Move streamlines the process of data migration, allowing for the seamless creation of Foundation and Employment objects directly into SuccessFactors Employee Central. This is achieved by leveraging standard SAP API’s to transform and load data directly into Employee Central from SAP On-Premise (or any other HRIS systems), thereby minimizing manual efforts, protecting sensitive data (i.e. no data is ever stored externally to SAP) and potential system freezes that are often required in these types of migrations.
Employee Central Payroll: Nexus Move also supports the migration of all of the required underlying configuration from SAP On-Premise.
1. Speed: Turn months of work into minutes. Our customers are running and validating payroll within Employee Central Payroll on day one after installation.
2. Accuracy: The system's unparalleled accuracy minimises the risk of human error, a frequent concern with manual migrations.
3. Efficiency: Save up to 9 months of consulting fees, translating to ROIs as high as 1,000% (as evidenced in our case studies)for this activity alone.
It stands out with its capability to capture, analyse and migrate delta configuration changes in the source system thereby preventing the need for double maintenance or any rekeying of configuration changes between systems.
2. Master Data
Nexus Move expands the horizons of data migration, encompassing not only HCM and Payroll Results data but also finance-related data such as Cost Centers and G/L accounts. This holistic approach facilitates a comprehensive data migration strategy, complete with validation features and reporting functionalities that streamline audit processes and reduce testing phases.
3. System Refreshes
Say goodbye to the hassles of system refreshes during your implementation project and after Go-Live during BAU operations. Nexus Move allows project teams to copy SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite data efficiently from production to test or development systems. Master data may be scrambled based upon configurable scrambling scenarios using data that's applicable to your Country and Language thereby protecting sensitive information (like names, addresses, phone numbers, bank account etc.) thereby, helping you meet regulatory requirements, such as GDPR.
4. Reporting
Stepping up the game in reporting, Nexus Move delivers standard HR & Payroll reports as a part of the base product while also offering functionalities for ad-hoc report creation. It integrates seamlessly with the Payroll Control Center, and facilitates report distribution via a number of mechanisms (e.g. via email). Additionally, it enables data integration with SAP Analytics Cloud and other systems, enhancing the scope and utility of reporting functions.
5. Payroll Comparison and Analysis between Systems
Nexus Move also includes the Payroll Verification Module which allows for both the comparison and analysis of any anomalies that might exist between SAP systems (regardless of their version), and also between non-SAP and SAP systems. With the Payroll Verification Module there's no need for Spreadsheets and VLOOKUP's to perform parallel testing as everything from result comparison to difference analysis is catered for, with an unprecedented reporting capability, ensuring that every aspect of the verification is accessible, progress easily tracked and can produce reports and audits that can be targeted to meet the needs of the required audience.
It’s now time to deep dive into the world of Nexus Move, where innovation meets functionality, offering businesses a streamlined pathway to transition into SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite with ease and efficiency.
