Overview

SAP HCM support and migration planning.

On-premise SAP HCM remains at the heart of many companies' operations: personnel administration, organizational structure, time management, payroll, benefits, and legal obligations such as eSocial.

Grupo Intelsis supports and enhances these environments with functional consultants and ABAP developers, handling legal updates, fixes, integrations, and improvements, always with governance and documentation.

With SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ending in 2027, we also help you choose the path forward: keep HCM on S/4HANA, adopt SuccessFactors Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll, or combine both in a hybrid model.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about SAP HCM

Will SAP HCM stop working in 2027?

No. For SAP ERP HCM 6.0 on EHP 6 through 8, mainstream maintenance ends on December 31, 2027; optional extended maintenance is available at additional cost through 2030. For versions without an EHP or on EHP 1 through 5, mainstream maintenance ended in 2025. The commitment through 2040 covers the SAP HCM for SAP S/4HANA product line, not staying on the same release.

What is the best path: S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, or hybrid?

It depends on how customized your payroll is, your cloud strategy, integrations, and budget. The migration assessment compares the scenarios using data from your environment.

Do you take over support for an HCM implemented by another consultancy?

Yes. We start with a structured transition: a survey of processes, customizations, and tickets, documentation, and a stabilization plan.

Do you handle eSocial and FGTS Digital in HCM?

Yes. We apply and test SAP legal updates and adjust customizations to keep events and obligations up to date.
