The time, cost and organisational resources required for a complete human resources software solution have been reduced, with SAP Accelerated HR, a tailored solution designed for quick and cost-effective implementations.
"This low-risk, affordable solution provides companies with the power and full functionality of SAP HR," says Phillip Booth, product manager - human resources at SAP Southern Africa. "Ideally suited to the needs of small and midsize companies, it represents a complete out-of-the-box HR solution."
The solution includes pre-configured functionality that spans the complete range of HR including human resources administration, payroll, benefits administration, time management and comprehensive standard and ad hoc reporting capabilities.
"Large companies can also benefit from SAP Accelerated HR by using preconfigured functionality for piloting and testing their solution, for training purposes, and as a foundation for their implementation," says Booth. "Locally, the Accelerated methodology is already being used by a large financial services group, and in the United States, SAP Accelerated HR is being implemented by more than a dozen customers. General availability of the solution is expected in December 1998.
"With its Accelerated Solutions initiative, SAP is maintaining its focus on making its software available and accessible to small and midsize organisations," says David Alschuler, analyst at the Aberdeen Group. "SAP Accelerated HR will shrink the time to implement SAP HR and reduce the level of professional services required for implementation based on a comprehensive set of predefined, best-practice HR business processes. And for companies facing a year 2000 human resources system replacement decision, this offering means SAP HR is still a viable solution."
