SAP Core HR and Payroll vs. Skyward HRMS

SAP HR can be well suited for global companies with operations in multiple countries. The Payroll module needs to be limited to one instance per country, otherwise trying to maintain multiple countries on the same instance is too complicated. I would not recommend using SAP HR and Payroll for smaller companies because the total cost of ownership and the lack of flexibility will make it unfeasible. There are many cloud-based options now a days available that would fit better for this type of scenario.

For a medium sized company I believe Skyward is an acceptable and not too complicated system. I do not work with the back end so I am not aware of the reporting capabilities which would be a deciding factor for some companies. For K12 Education it seems to check all the boxes

• Employee lifecycle JLM process.
• Globally employee engagement.
• Employee Learning and development process.

• Skyward is superior in tracking and submitting PTO
• Skyward is accessible in the cloud so 24/7 access
• Menus and screens are fairly easy for non-technical users to navigate

Incentivized

• The design looks outdated
• Could add more functions like PTO tracking
• The help sections aren’t very helpful

Incentivized

• The Captcha screen can be needlessly complex or hard to guess due to letters overlapping
• Then time off screen defaults to 0 hours when creating a new entry and the zero does not get replaced... turning 8 hours into 80 hours unintentionally

I live to mention this rating due the SAP core HR very user frndly and providing and multi HR module under single umbrella. there are multi reasons for this rating we have

The application is highly available, easy to use, and very user-friendly.

Even we have excellent team for SAP system who aways working good, whenever we needed for Support for SAP we got quick support for SAP as well

SAP is very intuitive to use and allows us to achieve our goals.

Not part of the selection process, but the new Skyward system is fr easier, user friendly and full featured than previous systems I have used

• SAP HR is suited for large companies with a sufficient budget. Small budgets will not be able to cover the expensive licensing, technical personnel and consultants required of an SAP installation.
• In regards to the total cost of ownership, my ROI experience has been that by replacing SAP HR modules with cloud solutions we have been able to reduce the cost up to 60% while modernizing our systems and improving the employee experience.
• I would encourage decision makers to look for cloud-based alternatives with a robust system integration, before believing that supporting every area of HR with a single SAP installation is a good long-term strategy. Having SAP HR as the core integrated to best-in-class cloud-based systems is a very valid and effective system strategy.

• Previously we had multiple systems for licensed and unlicensed staff, Skyward brings it all together creating a same experience for all users
