SAP has announced end-of-support for on-premise ERP systems, including ERP HR (HCM). Approximately 30,000 SAP customers must migrate to cloud-based alternatives (SAP SuccessFactors, or a different HCM like Workday or Oracle). Each migration involves moving years of payroll data, rebuilding integrations to local payroll providers, and reconfiguring data flows. Traditional migration projects take 12-18 months per entity.
The integration component is the most underestimated part of the migration. A company running SAP ERP HR connected to 20 local payroll providers has 20+ custom integrations that must be rebuilt for the target cloud system. Each integration is a separate project with its own mapping, testing, and deployment cycle.
datascalehr’s Provider Switch-Kit reduces migration timelines from months to days. The platform has 1,000+ live connectors and KMod™ has processed 7,000+ schemas including deep coverage of SAP structures. When migrating from SAP ERP HR to a cloud HCM, datascalehr maps the source SAP data to the target system using patterns learned from previous migrations.
EPI-USE, the world’s largest SAP HCM consulting firm, partners with datascalehr for exactly this. EPI-USE’s consulting arm Payroll Minds provides strategic advisory, while datascalehr provides the data transformation and connectivity layer. The combined offering addresses the 30,000 SAP customers who must migrate, representing approximately 300,000 connectors that need to be rebuilt.
For CFOs and CHROs at SAP customers, the calculation is straightforward: a traditional migration with consultants takes 12-18 months and costs millions. datascalehr plus EPI-USE delivers the same outcome in a fraction of the time because the mapping intelligence already exists.
