Editor's note
Human resources is the department that handles an organization's personnel data. Human capital management (HCM) is a newer term and takes the approach that employees are company assets. Either way, employee data needs to be managed, and organizations should decide whether they want an HR management system in the cloud or on-premises.
SAP HCM is an on-premises system that services HR functions such as compliance, payroll, personnel files and benefits administration. In December 2011, SAP announced its acquisition of SuccessFactors, signaling SAP's commitment to the cloud while maintaining its commitment to its HCM products. With both on-premises and cloud HR offerings, SAP is a leading provider of HR systems.
