Key questions

What HR and IT leaders ask about SuccessFactors

  • What happens to SAP HCM on-premise in 2027?

    Mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP HCM ends at the end of 2027, with optional extended maintenance to the end of 2030. Most companies move core HR and payroll to SAP SuccessFactors. Some bridge with SAP HCM for S/4HANA on-premise. Either way, the decision and the plan take time, so starting a year ahead is sensible.

    SAP HCM to SuccessFactors migration

  • How do we keep up with SuccessFactors releases?

    Test every release automatically before it reaches employees. SuccessFactors updates twice a year, and each update can change a form, a rule or an integration. TSP’s 150+ pre-built SuccessFactors tests and AI agents run the regression for you and produce evidence of every run.

    CloudCare support

  • Where does AI help most in SuccessFactors today?

    In high-volume, repetitive HR work: collecting and checking candidate documents, answering employee questions, managing time off and preparing new hires. Joule agents cover much of it inside SuccessFactors, and TSP’s extensions handle onboarding documents, signatures, release testing and employee sentiment.
