SAP HCM support ends in 2027. Here is why you should act now and how AvenDATA secures your HCM data.
SAP HCM is ending
SAP HCM has been the standard for HR processes for decades. Support ends in 2027. If you are still running HCM after that, you will be on a system without updates, without enhancements, and with rising risk.
The future is in the cloud
SAP is moving HR to SuccessFactors, its cloud solution. Companies benefit from scalability, regular updates, and modern capabilities like talent management and AI. The classic on-premise HCM is no longer being developed.
Risk for companies
Keeping data only inside the old HCM leaves you dependent on an unsupported system after 2027. This is especially critical for legally relevant HR data that must be retained for many years.
Archiving as the solution
A secure archive for SAP HCM data keeps information available regardless of HCM’s product lifecycle. At the same time, you eliminate the cost of operating the legacy system.
Conclusion : act before it is too late
The end of SAP HCM is set. Companies must move, whether to SuccessFactors or another path. No matter what you choose next, archiving your HCM data is essential.
Archiving your HCM data is essential.
