HR Analytics
HR Analytics – The changing face of human resources
Traditional HR is in a state of flux. Business partners, shared service centers (HR SSC) and centers of excellence (CoE) are emerging. Processes are being shared and optimized, and the employees involved are being transformed into new roles and job profiles.
…and HR IT? What contribution can the HR application landscape make to optimally support the organization and the processes on the path to excellence?
The operational support of processes with ERP software from e.g. SAP with its modules for payroll and personnel management has been a constant in the HR IT landscape for decades. Reports and key figures are generated directly from the operational data.
Personnel cost planning
Make your personnel cost planning more efficient, faster and more flexible!
Is your personnel resource and personnel cost planning also a very time-consuming and therefore cost-intensive process every time? Did your previous solution based on SAP HR and e.g. MS Excel or other tools not meet your desire for an integrated, end-to-end IT-supported planning process?

Do you want an integration with your operational systems (SAP FI/CO, etc.) as well as an approval, control and monitoring process tailored to your company’s needs throughout the entire planning process? In addition, do you want a high level user acceptance through an intuitive planning interface that enables personnel measures and personnel costs to be planned directly by managers?
