Rexx Systems as German HR software and an SAP alternative to SAP SuccessFactors
When SAP slows down day-to-day HR

Why companies look for an SAP alternative

Many HR teams encounter the same issues in day-to-day work: changes take too long, consulting costs rise and processes remain cumbersome.

01
Unclear
total cost

Licences, setup, consulting, customisation and maintenance can quickly make costs difficult to track.

02
Complex
system landscape

Interfaces and custom logic make processes slower and more difficult to manage.

03
Limited
agility

New roles, approvals and processes should be introduced without a large-scale project.

04
Ongoing reliance
on consultants

Many changes can be managed internally once the system has been implemented.

Comparison

Key advantages
over SAP HCM

A strong alternative to SAP SuccessFactors should offer more than functionality. Data sovereignty, total cost of ownership, flexibility, usability and ongoing reliance on consulting also matter.
