SAP Core HR and Payroll
Unify HR and payroll, everywhere you work.
Strada combines the power of SAP with deep operational expertise to help you run faster, scale smarter and stay compliant, everywhere you operate.
Make HR & payroll a strategic advantage
Legacy HR and payroll systems were built to process, not perform. As organisations expand, disconnected tools and siloed data create risk, inefficiency and missed opportunities.
Strada changes that. Our SAP-based solutions turn HR and payroll into a source of insight, agility and trust. Whether you're centralizing global operations, entering new markets, or evolving your HR model, we simplify the complexity, so you can focus on outcomes, not operations.

This is giving organisations two main SAP options; Firstly the SAP HANA private cloud, a great option for those wanting a cloud experience while retaining more control and customisation—plus extended maintenance until 2040. Secondly the SAP HANA public cloud ideal for organisations seeking the simplest approach to upgrades, cutting-edge innovation, and minimal overhead.
This is important to choose the right solution for the organisations needs but also choose a capable go-live partner like Strada with end-to-end support. Learn more about the SAP cloud solution options.
