SAP AG today announced a new deployment solution to enable customers to adopt SAP cloud solutions in a phased manner rather than a rip-and-replace approach.

The SAP ERP HCM Integration to SuccessFactors deployment solution aims to help customers keep their implementation on track, on time and on budget. The approach is comprised of integration tools based on standard APIs and pre-packaged integration content — both on premise and cloud-based.

“SAP strips the traditional complexity attached to a hybrid cloud deployment,” said Steven Birdsall, senior vice president and general manager, SAP Rapid Deployment solutions. “With this approach we are creating an express lane between the on-premise and cloud worlds for our customers, helping them enhance and extend existing on-premise investments quickly to the cloud, while enriching SAP cloud solutions with content and data from SAP Business Suite.”

Deployment of SAP ERP HCM Integration to SuccessFactors combines extended pre-configuration and consulting services with prepackaged integration between the 6.0 version of the SAP ERP Human Capital Management (SAP ERP HCM) solution and SuccessFactors Business Execution (BizX) suite. It has been designed to deliver set-up and implementation of bi-directional pay-for-performance process integration between SAP ERP HCM and SuccessFactors Compensation, and full and incremental SAP employee and organizational management data upload to SuccessFactors BizX.

This is the fourth SAP Rapid Deployment solution supporting hybrid deployments. The SAP Business Collaboration rapid-deployment solution brings together the SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) application with the SAP Jam social software platform. The SAP Information Interchange OnDemand rapid-deployment solution combines components of the enterprise resource planning (ERP) application SAP ERP with the SAP Information OnDemand solution to support indirect procurement processes. The SAP Business Suite Integration with the Ariba Network rapid-deployment-solution brings together back-end SAP software securely and reliably to the Ariba Network.

The company has more than 150 rapid-deployment solutions across line-of-business, industries, mobile, analytics, database and cloud segments.
