Our preconfigured, accelerated SuccessFactors solution — built forAustralia and New Zealand.
Elevateby HR Crowd is our preconfigured SAP SuccessFactors solution that compressesthe path from decision to go-live. Instead of designing every process from ablank canvas, you start from a proven, leading-practice configuration that wetailor to your organisation — dramatically reducing time, cost and delivery risk.Crucially,Elevate is localised for both Australia and New Zealand out of the box — reflecting local payroll, compliance, leaveand employment practices in each country, so trans-Tasman organisations get one consistent solution that respects the differences that matter.
Whatmakes Elevate different:• Preconfigured leading-practice HCM processes, ready to tailor rather than build from scratch:
• Localised for Australia and New Zealand— payroll, compliance and employment specifics for each country
• Faster time to value, with a predictable scope, timeline and cost
• Lower delivery risk, drawing on patterns proven across our implementations
• A clean, upgrade-ready foundation that keeps you aligned to SAP’s leading practice and roadmap
• A natural springboard into CrowdAssist managed services and the broader SuccessFactors suite Elevate is the ideal fit for organisations that want the benefits of SuccessFactors without a long, fully bespoke programme — and it underpins many of the services that follow.
Right for you if: you want a faster, lower-risk route to SuccessFactors,operate in Australia and/or New Zealand, and value a proven solution you cantailor over a blank-page build.
Leading-practice SuccessFactors, designed around your people.
We design and deliver SAP SuccessFactors implementations that put employee and manager experience at the centre — not just the technology. Our consulting leads each bring 20+ years in HCM solutiondesign, build, testing, rollout and ongoing support, so you get a partner who has done this many times before.
For many clients, the fastest, lowest-risk route is Elevate by HR Crowd, ourpreconfigured accelerator (see above). Where requirements are highly bespoke,we also deliver fully tailored implementations. Either way, we work across thefull SuccessFactors suite, including:
• Employee Central and Employee CentralPayroll
• Time Management and Time Tracking
• Performance & Goals, Compensation andVariable Pay
• Succession & Development and CareerDevelopment Planning
• Learning
• Recruiting and Onboarding (including thetransition toward SmartRecruiters)
• People Analytics and reporting
Our approach is groundedin leading-practice HCM processes, clean configuration and a clear focus onadoption — because a solution onlydelivers value when your people actually use it. We help you align your HCM roadmapto your business and people strategy, so each phase builds toward afuture-ready HR function.
Right for you if: you’re moving to SuccessFactors for the first time, expanding your existing footprint into new modules, or re-implementing to cleanup a deployment that no longer fits the business.
Plan your move before the rush — not after the deadline.
SAP mainstream maintenance for ECC ends on 31 December 2027, with paid extended support only available to 2030 at a premium. For large enterprises, a full transition is a multi-month programme involving data cleansing, custom-code remediation and significant operating-model change — which is exactly why the organisations that start early carry the least risk and the lowest cost.
HR Crowd helps you navigate the HCM and payroll dimensions of the S/4HANA journey, including:
• Readiness assessment and roadmap, including SAP Readiness Check and custom-code impact analysis
• Choosing the right path — brownfield (system conversion), greenfield (new implementation) or selective data transition — based on your business goals, not just the technical deadline
• Payroll and time transition planning, afrequently underestimated workstream
• Clean-core thinking, moving custom logic toBTP so future upgrades stay simple
• Coordination with your broader S/4HANA programme and system integrator We bring deep payroll and HCM domain knowledge to a process that is too often treated as a purelytechnical conversion — protecting accuracy, compliance and the employee experience throughout the move.
Right for you if: you’re still on ECC, scoping your transition, or want specialist HCM and payroll input into a wider S/4HANA programme already underway.
The hardest part of HCM, handled byspecialists.
Time and payroll are where HCM gets unforgiving — the rules are complex, the stakes are high, and every employee notices when something goes wrong. HR Crowd brings specialist depth across SAP time andpayroll solutions, including SuccessFactors Time Management, Time Tracking,Employee Central Payroll and integration with UKG or WorkForce Software.
It’s also a core reason Elevate by HR Crowd is localised for both Australia and NewZealand — because local payroll and compliance is precisely where a generic solution falls down.
We help you:
• Design and configure time and payroll toreflect your awards, agreements and operating reality across Australia and NewZealand
• Stay ahead of legislative and compliancechange, from the next payroll legislative update to the recurring issuessurfacing through your help-desk queues
• Resolve the persistent pain points thaterode trust in payroll — and build thecontrols to keep them from coming back
• Prepare time and payroll for the move tothe cloud and the next generation of AI-assisted processingThis is a genuine area ofdifferentiation for us: payroll and time are not an add-on to our practice,they’re a core strength.
Right for you if: you have complex time and pay requirements, recurringpayroll issues, or need confidence that compliance is under control.

The next era of HR is autonomous. We’ll help you get ready.
At SAP Sapphire in May 2026, SAP unveiled its Autonomous Enterprise vision and a new era of Autonomous HCM — AI-nativefunctionality that brings together agentic AI, HCM applications and realbusiness context.
Rather than navigating screen after screen, users increasingly describe an outcome and let AI orchestrate the work behind thescenes. At the heart of this are Joule Assistants, each mapped to a core HR role and orchestrating specialised agents to carry out work end to end.
SAP hasannounced assistants spanning Core HR, Payroll, Time, HR Service, Compensation,Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning, Performance, Career, Skills and more, with general availability beginning in 2026.
Early examples include a Payroll Assistant that catches issues before a run, an HR Service Assistant that resolves common employee questions instantly, and a Workforce Upskilling Assistant that delivers learning in the flow of work.
HRCrowd helps you turn this vision into practical value:
• Cut through the announcements to understandwhat’s available now versus on the roadmap
• Assess where autonomous HCM can deliverreal ROI in your organisation
• Ready your foundations — clean data, clean core and the SAP Business AI Platform — so agents deliveraccurate, governed outcomes
• Adopt Joule Assistants and agents safely,with the right governance and change management
• Keep your people at the centre, using AI toelevate human expertise rather than replace it.
As a specialist HCM partner, we sit exactly where deep process knowledge meets this new technology— which is precisely where autonomous HCM succeeds or fails.
Right for you if: you want to understand SAP’s AI direction for HR,separate hype from value, and prepare your organisation to adopt it withconfidence.
