MDG+ HCM bRobots® FAQs
What is HCM?
Human Capital Management (HCM) includes all strategies, methods, and tools aimed at optimally utilizing employees’ skills, talents, experience, and motivation in order to achieve business goals and secure competitive advantages.
Employees are viewed as human capital whose knowledge and competencies create direct value for the organization.
Core Areas of HCM
HCM covers various areas of human resources management, including:
- Recruiting and onboarding: attracting and integrating new talent
- Performance and talent management: evaluating, developing, and promoting employee capabilities
- Training and further education: targeted upskilling to enhance employee competencies
- Compensation and benefits: managing salaries, bonuses, and employee benefits
- Employee retention and engagement: strengthening motivation, loyalty, and productivity
When will SAP HCM be discontinued?
SAP HCM compatibility mode will no longer be available after December 31, 2025.
Mainstream maintenance for SAP HCM will end on December 31, 2027.
Companies that have not migrated by then will face a system without maintenance, security updates, or further development.
It is recommended to transition to a cloud-based solution such as SAP SuccessFactors in order to continue supporting HR operations efficiently.
What is HCM in SAP?
SAP HCM is an integrated human resources management system that supports companies in managing HR processes, employee development, and payroll processing.
SAP HCM (Human Capital Management), formerly known as SAP HR, is a digital SAP solution that covers all HR activities — from recruiting and time management to payroll processing.
It is an on-premise HR management system that digitizes and automates core HR processes while centrally managing HR data to improve efficiency, transparency, and decision-making quality.
Main Functions and Modules
SAP HCM is modular in structure, allowing organizations to use modules flexibly:
- Personnel Administration (PA): manages all employee master data, including payroll-relevant assignments, working hours, and historical records. This serves as the central foundation for all other modules.
- Organizational Management (OM): models company hierarchies, reporting structures, and roles, which can automatically control authorizations and workflows.
- Time Management (PT): plans, records, and evaluates working times, absences, and shifts, with direct integration into payroll processing.
- Payroll: calculates wages and salaries based on time data, compensation rules, collective agreements, and legal requirements, including reporting and integration with financial accounting.
- Talent Management and Recruiting: manages applications, onboarding, employee development, and succession planning.
Benefits of SAP HCM
- Automation and efficiency: reduces administrative tasks and enables more strategic HR work
- Central data foundation: all employee information is structured and traceable, simplifying reporting and analytics
- Flexibility: modules can be used individually or combined; hybrid solutions with cloud integration are possible
- Future readiness: SAP HCM is supported until the end of 2027, with extended maintenance until 2030; long-term successor solutions include SAP SuccessFactors and SAP HCM for SAP S/4HANA
