SAP HCM Spectrum

No Up-front costs for a fully fledged SAP HCM Solution - Per User - Per Month!

No matter what size your organization is, managing your workforce is a largely administrative task that demands accuracy and relies on up-to-date information about your employees. SAP Human Capital Management has been recognized as a world class solution providing an integrated approach which allows for the forecasting, planning and hiring of the best talent and cultivating these skills by managing this talent.

However, the cost of world-class systems has often prevented many organizations from exploiting these capabilities.  Costs are not only limited to purchasing the solution, but also extends to the implementation, management, hosting and maintenance of the solution.  Due to the complexity of the solution, it is normally necessary to employ specialists to do the implementation as well as the maintenance and ongoing system support.  Previously traditional implementations would take a full year before any benefits are realized, compounding these problems.

Providing the SAP HCM Solution as a Service allows organizations to access SAP HCM without making any upfront investment.

Price being a regular concern to larger organizations normally becomes an outright impossibility for medium to small sized organizations. The organizations in the past could simply not justify the investment in such systems, therefore settling for inferior solutions.  Providing the SAP HCM Solution as a Service however allows organizations to access SAP HCM without making any upfront investment in either hardware or software and only paying for what they use when they use it.  This flexibility allows your SAP HCM Solution to grow and fluctuate in line with your workforce resulting in a fully scalable solution which is extremely cost effective as a result.

Only pay for what you use, when you use it.

Making a business case for HCM Solution as a Service is not only cost-driven, but also reduces risk since the Solution is fully certified by SAP.  Our solution also provides a quick-win for realizing benefits after only 12 weeks, because implementation time is reduced significantly due to Swicon360’s certified template approach.

Realize benefits after only 12 weeks

In some cases, organizations may have invested in SAP, but they are unable to expand the solution to include services such as Employee and Manager Self-Service due to the additional license and hardware requirements.  HCM Solution as a Service provides the flexibility for organizations to make use of the parts of the solution that they need.  These organisations can thus maintain their own SAP system in-house, but still benefit from using SAP’s e- Services on an ‘as-needed’ basis without being concerned with infrastructure, taking ownership of the licenses or paying software maintenance fees.
