Specifics about HCM
Challenges
Consequences
Support for daily business and quality
assurance

Possibility of flexible selection of personnel
numbers and structures
Data sensitivity

Scrambling occurs in the sender system
The HCM module is divided into different
heterogeneous components (OM, PA, PT,
PY, E-Recruiting,….)

Different HCM – functions are supported
Country specific functions in HCM (Tax,
Pension etc)

Delivery of county specific functions in
TDMS4HCM
Using the SAP standard HCM authorization
concept

Integration of the authorization concept in
TDMS4HCM
Flexibility of the data selection criteria

Using the logical databases and ad-hocquery
