Your path to SAP cloud starts here

HCM Move (also known as Upgrade to Success) is SAP’s program to support customers migrating from SAP ERP HCM (on-premise) to SAP SuccessFactors in the cloud. It enables companies to modernise their human capital management strategy, optimize connected business processes, and transition to a future-proofed business model built for agility, compliance, and employee experience. Zalaris is a trusted partner in this journey, helping clients assess readiness and execute every stage of the cloud migration and transformation process.

With the SAP ECC 2027/2030 sunset, organizations must consider how to sustain HR operations while preparing for what’s next. Migrating to SAP SuccessFactors offers access to cloud solutions and SAP BTP, innovation through AI-enabled HR, and alignment with SAP’s RISE with SAP vision. It also reduces reliance on legacy premise SAP technology solutions and positions your business for scalable growth, employee engagement, and improved data access.

Zalaris acts as your migration and modernisation partner, providing support across every phase-from business case development and stakeholder alignment to data migration, cutover planning, and post-go-live optimisation. We help:

• Assess your apps, databases, and infrastructure
• Align priorities, timelines, and resources at every stage
• Retain critical ABAP skills and assets where possible
• Enable transformation using SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)
• Ensure compliance and continuity throughout your cloud environment transition

The SAP HCM Move program transitions key functions to SAP SuccessFactors, including:

• Core HR with Employee Central
• Payroll via Employee Central Payroll
• Talent Management: recruiting, onboarding, learning, succession, and performance
• Analytics through People Analytics and integration with SAP Analytics Cloud
  Zalaris ensures a smooth move by mapping your current usage and designing a fit-for-purpose cloud landscape.

While SAP S/4HANA and SAP HCM Move are separate programs, Zalaris supports customers planning joint roadmaps. We help customers align their cloud migration and modernization of HR with broader business initiatives involving SAP S/4HANA Cloud, SAP HANA database, or SAP Analytics Cloud, all within the SAP Business Technology Platform ecosystem.

We support your business case for migration by analyzing your current HR systems, quantifying risk, and identifying opportunities to consolidate or optimize. We help evaluate cloud readiness, estimate ROI, and align key stakeholders around a shared vision-ensuring your cloud migration journey is aligned with both strategic HR and IT objectives.

• Pre-migration assessment and design
• Data mapping and cleansing
• Configuration and integration with surrounding systems
• Validation, testing, and stakeholder training
• Cutover and go-live
  Zalaris helps customers manage priorities, timelines, milestones, and resources, ensuring a structured and secure transition to SAP SuccessFactors.

Zalaris helps customers manage data archiving, reporting continuity, and selective reuse of ABAP assets during the transition. We ensure that SAP ERP HCM data is preserved for compliance while enabling clean, future-ready setups in the cloud.
