SAP HCM Scalability

Vasu Narasimha - PeerSpot reviewer
Founder & CEO at BluTech Talent Plus LLP

The ability to scale is outstanding, easily a nine out of ten. It's very suitable for large, multi-geography companies but also very suitable for medium companies with multi-geography operations. 

For smaller companies, it depends on their size and ambition. Now, SAP has various solutions that can work even for smaller organizations. So, the size limitation isn't a factor anymore. It's more about your organization's complexity and geographic spread. 

Even a small company with, say, 1,000-2,000 employees operating in Europe, the US, and Southeast Asia or Middle East and Africa needs globally compliant software. In such a case, you require software that is compliant globally. So, the old factor of size is irrelevant. 

The geographic spread and complexity of the organization determine usability.

It is a scalable product. The number of users varies for different organizations. I have been a part of a company with over 20,000 users. On the other hand, there was a company with only 200 users. I have worked with a different range of employees.

Dave Dumeni - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Telecom Namibia

It is scalable. We have approximately 1,300 employees in our organization. They are using the system either directly or indirectly. Indirectly in the sense that we have the employee portal, where the employees actually use the self-service portal and can do their own things, like leave applications. Almost everyone in the organization uses the system, but of course in a different way.

Right now, we don't have any plans to increase usage in the future.

AK
Team Leader at Abacus Consulting

The cost is contingent on scalability. If you're seeking consultant-level insight, it involves a comprehensive HCM package rather than just managing at the employee level. Scalability is crucial, with consultants providing the necessary resources, expertise, and training to elevate teams efficiently—at a lower or higher level. In my company, which uses SAP HCL, maintenance involves overseeing four users at my level, including three team members, one of whom is a two-year female employee. Additionally, there's one consultant and two employees at the certificate level. Looking at the entire organization, I manage maintenance for sixteen thousand users.

It was easy to scale out to three different regions.

There were about 50 users, but about 10 to 15 users were executives approving the subworkflow in the system.

There were a lot of defects that I had to deal with because patches were coming out on a regular basis and it required a lot of time.

I was heavily involved in UAT and there were lots of configuration issues. There were development requests and I had to deal with the developers directly, which was a bit of a headache.
