FAQ

SD Worx Innova is a strategic approach to HR business transformation, built on SAP technology.

While traditional SAP partners focus on delivering a successful implementation and handing over at go-live, SD Worx Innova is designed to go further.

What makes it different:

  • 20+ years of European HR and payroll expertise encoded into every project
  • Proprietary add-ons built on SAP BTP to fill the gaps standard SAP leaves open
  • Embedded AI across the entire stack
  • Ongoing expert services that stay with you after go-live

Many organisations struggle after go-live with:

  • Complex, disconnected systems
  • Manual processes slowing teams down
  • Limited visibility into HR data
  • Difficulty integrating SAP with other tools

SD Worx Innova addresses these challenges by improving speed, integration, and adaptability across your HR and payroll landscape.

Accelerate: Pre-configured accelerators get you to go-live up to 40% faster, with best practices and compliance already built in.

Integrate: The integration Framework connects HR, Payroll, and Time into one fluid ecosystem, eliminating data errors and manual workarounds.

Operate: We stay after go-live through Managed Payroll, Application Maintenance, and BPO, keeping your system optimised and continuously improving.

No. SD Worx Innova is designed to build on your existing SAP environment (such as SuccessFactors, SAP HCM or S/4HANA) and enhance it with integrations, accelerators, and expert services.

SD Worx Innova delivers measurable improvements across three pillars:

Accelerate

  • Pre-configured solutions (InnovaHR, InnovaPay, InnovaTime) built on 20+ years of SAP best practices
  • Reduces implementation time by up to 40%
  • Compliance and country-specific templates built in from day one

Integrate

  • The Integration Framework connects HR, Payroll, and Time into a single end-to-end solution
  • Reduces manual work and improves data accuracy
  • Delivers real-time visibility across your entire HR operation

Operate

  • Application Maintenance Services, Managed Payroll, and BPO keep your system running and improving
  • Local experts actively drive optimisation after go-live
  • Continuous SAP innovation without the technical complexity of managing it yourself

The result:

  • Up to 40% faster implementation
  • 30–45% gains in operational efficiency
  • Up to 40% stronger HR impact on business initiatives

Yes. AI is embedded across the entire SD Worx Innova framework, not added as an afterthought.

In Payroll:

  • Detects anomalies and flags errors before they reach employees
  • Learns from historical payroll data to recommend corrections
  • Helps organisations achieve 99% payroll accuracy

Across HR and Time:

  • Automates repetitive processes
  • Surfaces predictive insights for better decision-making
  • Continuously advances through our internal SAP Innovation Hub

AI capabilities include machine learning, robotic process automation, anomaly detection, generative AI, and agentic AI, applied where each delivers the most value.

SD Worx Innova integrates with SAP Joule to make HR and payroll processes more intuitive, intelligent, and efficient. By exposing selected SD Worx capabilities as Joule skills, users can interact with SD Worx Innova solutions through natural language rather than navigating complex menus or configurations.

For example, users can ask Joule to help generate reports, create document templates, retrieve information, or perform specific tasks. The solution also incorporates AI-powered assistance and conversational capabilities to simplify complex processes and reduce the need for extensive training.

By combining SAP Joule, agentic AI, and SD Worx payroll and SAP expertise, SD Worx Innova helps organizations accelerate task execution, improve user experience, and increase productivity while enabling faster access to insights and business-critical information.
