SAP SE announced HCM Bridge to the Cloud, a program that helps customers with on-premise SAP ERP Human Capital Management (HCM) solutions transition and expand into the cloud. By providing clear guidance, predictable outcomes, faster time to value and flexible commercial arrangements, the services and tools for digital HR transformation help customers ease the migration to cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors solutions.

By migrating to cloud-based SAP SuccessFactors solutions, organizations can: Rethink and simplify HR with standardized and streamlined business processes; Engage the workforce by shifting from "HR technology" to "people technology" to meet the expectations of digital, diverse and changing workforce; Change the way HR serves the business by providing insights that allow HR to advise leaders and keep pace with change; Stay current with technology innovations with updates delivered every quarter; Enable IT resources to focus on business-value creation and innovation rather than customization and maintenance. The HCM Bridge to the Cloud services and tools are designed to allow customers to move the right components when it makes sense for the business, all the while protecting their existing investments in HCM solutions.
