If someone asked you today which global payroll model your organisation uses, what would you say?

Most multinational organisations operate a fragmented landscape of disjointed, multi-vendor payroll systems. The result is escalating operational overhead, high IT interface maintenance, and compliance risks across borders.

In this recorded panel, global transformation specialists from SAP and EPI-USE sit down with client leaders navigating enterprise-scale deployments to share real-world experiences, lessons learned, and practical advice.
