SAP HR Mavericks Podcast | Episode 6: Migration from On-premise to the Cloud
In this episode of SAP HR Mavericks podcast, our colleagues Silvia Moreno, SAP Marketing Director, and Amanda Rodriguez, SAP Partner Alliance and Portfolio Director, share expert insights to help organisations navigate this change with confidence.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why delaying cloud migration is becoming a real business risk: Waiting too long can leave organisations with shrinking support, limited innovation access, and less time to execute a well-planned transition.
- What companies often underestimate when planning the move: Critical elements like data readiness, payroll dependencies and integrations are often more complex than expected.
- How HR and IT leaders can align to make the transition smoother: Early collaboration helps bridge technical and business priorities, avoiding misalignment later in the project.
The move from on-premise to the cloud is no longer something organisations can postpone. If you are still shaping your roadmap, this episode brings clarity and direction.
