In summary,SAP SuccessFactorsis SAP's recommended solution for Human Capital Management, offering a wide range of HR functionalities in a cloud-based suite.
SAP recommends a best-of-breed approach for Human Capital Management (HCM) as part of its cloud strategy, particularly in conjunction with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition implementations under RISE with SAP. Let’s evaluate the options:
A. SAP Concur: This is a travel and expense management solution, not an HCM system. It focuses on automating expense reporting and travel processes, making it irrelevant to this question.
B. SAP SuccessFactors: This is the correct answer. SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s recommended cloud-based HCM solution, offering modules for core HR, payroll, talent management, employee experience, and workforce analytics. It integrates seamlessly with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition for end-to-end business processes, replacing the on-premise SAP ERP HCM module as SAP shifts customers to cloud HCM under its “People” pillar. SAP actively promotes SuccessFactors as its strategic HCM system.
C. SAP Ariba: This is a procurement and supplier management solution, focusing on sourcing, contracts, and spend management. It has no HCM functionality, so it is incorrect.
D. SAP Fieldglass: This solution manages contingent workforce and services procurement (e.g., temporary workers, contractors). While it complements HCM in workforce management, it is not a full HCM system and is not SAP’s recommended core HCM offering.
In summary,SAP SuccessFactorsis SAP’s recommended Human Capital Management system, widely adopted and integrated with SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition.
