It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to The Edge, a quarterly electronic newsletter from the Deloitte SAP service line that is specifically focused on HCM topics. Our goal is to provide you with timely and relevant information on human resources (HR) strategy, operations and technology. As implied in the title, the objective is to help give you an edge in critical areas impacting the marketplace and your organization.
Our mission is to keep you up-to-date on leading issues that affect your business, as well as alert you to upcoming HR conferences and Webcasts that support the effectiveness of your service delivery, processes and management systems (whether SAP-based, or not). You will also see features that highlight the practices and tools that could help you accelerate SAP HCM initiatives in your organization and realize their benefits and value faster than ever.
In this issue, we explore the following topics:
-
Increasing End-User Adoption — and Satisfaction— With New SAP Self-Service Offerings
One of the key challenges faced during SAP implementations is successful adoption of the new SAP solution by end-users. For a time, many end-users viewed SAP solutions as somewhat unintuitive, lacking many of the typical usability features found in other applications they rely on every day. But that is changing with the latest generation of SAP Portal-based, self-service offerings that provide many opportunities to increase end-user adoption—and satisfaction. -
