Make the most of existing SAP investments

Many companies have built their HR processes on SAP over many years. These systems contain valuable master data, established workflows, and proven structures. A complete replacement is therefore not always the most economical approach. In many cases, targeted enhancements offer significantly greater potential by preserving existing investments while meeting modern business requirements at the same time.

Intelligently enhance modern Workforce Management processes

The requirements for HR management continue to evolve. Flexible working time models, mobile time tracking, and digital approval processes are now just as important as transparent reporting and high data quality. With ZEUS® CONNECT 4 FOR SAP HCM, these requirements can be integrated into the existing SAP landscape without fundamentally changing proven processes.

Digital transformation requires integration instead of isolated solutions

New software alone does not make HR processes more efficient. The key factor is that all relevant systems work together reliably. Only when information is exchanged automatically between SAP and Workforce Management can seamless processes with a consistent data foundation be created. This reduces manual tasks, increases transparency, and creates more time for strategic activities.

Step by step towards a future-proof HR system landscape

Companies do not have to implement their digital transformation all at once. A step-by-step modernization approach makes it possible to continue using existing processes while integrating new functions in a targeted manner. This creates a flexible HR system landscape that grows with the company's requirements and provides long-term investment security.

Companies rely on modernization instead of complete replacement

Instead of focusing on general digitalization figures, the focus should be placed on modernization and investment protection. Current figures and insights from sources such as DSAG, SAP, Bitkom, IDC, and Gartner are particularly relevant here. DSAG investment reports are especially valuable for this target audience, as they reflect the actual plans and priorities of SAP user companies.

Existing SAP systems remain a key component of HR IT. Companies are investing strategically in their further development.

Current developments clearly show that many companies are not opting for a complete restart of their SAP landscape. Instead, they are focusing on step-by-step modernization, expanding existing systems, and integrating new functions. As a result, solutions are becoming increasingly important that protect existing SAP investments while enabling modern HR processes at the same time.

• 68% of companies are planning investments in SAP S/4HANA Cloud: The current DSAG investment study shows that companies are consistently developing their SAP landscapes further. At the same time, many organizations consider it essential to enhance existing processes in a targeted way and secure their investments over the long term. Modernization is increasingly taking place step by step and is based on the individual requirements of each company.
• 47% of companies are increasing their SAP budget: Almost every second company plans to increase investments in SAP solutions. This highlights the strategic importance of existing SAP systems and shows that many organizations are deliberately developing their HR and ERP landscapes further rather than replacing them completely.
• 51% of companies continue to use SAP Business Suite: Although modern SAP technologies are becoming increasingly important, more than half of the companies surveyed continue to rely on SAP Business Suite. This demonstrates the importance of solutions that intelligently extend existing SAP landscapes and integrate seamlessly instead of replacing them entirely.
• 42% are investing in SAP S/4HANA on-premise: The results show that many companies are deliberately pursuing controlled modernization. Alongside cloud strategies, on-premise environments continue to play an important role. Integration solutions are needed that reliably connect different SAP environments and support existing processes.

What does this mean for companies?
The figures show a clear trend: Companies do not want to replace their existing SAP landscape from scratch. Instead, they want to modernize and expand it in a targeted way. The focus is on investment protection, step-by-step transformation, and reliable integration of existing processes.

With ZEUS® CONNECT 4 FOR SAP HCM, modern Workforce Management processes can be seamlessly integrated into existing SAP structures. Companies benefit from a future-proof HR system landscape while continuing to rely on proven processes and existing investments.
