SAP HR is powerful and fully integrated across the SAP suite. The opportunity now exists to make it easy to use, eliminate training, and increase the accuracy of critical employee data. To illustrate this, let’s consider two common SAP HR processes: Create New Employee & Performance Appraisal.

Create New Employee

Before GuiXT
• 16 screens
• Redundant entry of same data across multiple screens (e.g. employee ID number)
• Data entry errors propagate across multiple systems
• Incomplete information leading to cost & delay later (dependent information, emergency contacts)

After GuiXT
• 1 screen with radio buttons & interactive prompts
• Data entered once autopopulates across the process
• Less data entry, more automation equals fewer errors

Performance Appraisal

Before GuiXT
• 8 screens
• Training often required every 6-12 months for managers, who are infrequent users of the system
• Complexity yields less complete, less meaningful appraisals by time-constrained managers
• Errors resulting in financial implications
• Omissions-forgetting to attach critical documents resulting in appraisal not being applied to payroll in a timely manner

After GuiXT
• 1 screen with radio buttons & interactive prompts
• NO TRAINING REQUIRED, saving thousands of dollars every 6 months in training, opportunity, productivity & compliance costs
• Simplicity yields complete, meaningful appraisals done in a timely fashion
