This approach enables scalable, sustainable HR transformation aligned to business strategy, workforce priorities and growth objectives.
Discovery and assessment
PwC’s SAP HXM Discovery and Assessment helps organisations understand current HR challenges, workforce priorities and readiness for transformation. Business and people scenarios are mapped to SAP SuccessFactors best‑practice processes and standard capabilities, with relevant SAP Business AI and embedded analytics showcased to visualise opportunities, align stakeholders and define a clear, realistic HXM roadmap prior to full implementation.
Implementation and transformation
PwC delivers structured SAP SuccessFactors implementations using preconfigured solutions, accelerators and global leading practice designs. Leveraging SAP Activate, role-based design and standardised content, this approach streamlines deployment across core HR, payroll, time and talent processes, accelerating time-to-value while reducing delivery risk.
Transform your workforce impact with data driven AI
PwC unlocks greater workforce productivity and experience through AI enabled HXM innovation that extends beyond standard configuration. Leveraging SAP SuccessFactors embedded AI and SAP Business AI, including Joule, we enable capabilities such as AI assisted recruiting and skills-based candidate matching, generative AI for job descriptions, goals and interview questions, explain my pay, and AI driven people insights through People Analytics. Together with SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), these capabilities embed intelligent insights, automation, and decision support across employee and manager journeys—accelerating hiring, improving performance conversations, and enabling data driven workforce decisions.
