The SAP Commissions Crossroads
Migration, upgrade… or something more? How to think about what comes next.
Live Discussion: June 9th, 2026, 10:00 AM EST
As long-time SAP Commissions and Callidus customers face the shift to SuccessFactors Incentive Management on HANA, many are realizing that the work ahead looks less like a routine upgrade and more like a full re-implementation. Core elements of the system including data pipelines, workflows, reporting, and calculations often need to be rebuilt.
What may have been framed as a technical exercise reveals itself to be a broader strategic question: if you’re rebuilding your system anyway, should you continue with the SAP ecosystem, or take the opportunity to re-evaluate your tech stack altogether?
There is no universal right answer, but the conversation is universally worth having. Our discussion will touch on everything from technology and data integration to contract cycles and how much change your organization can realistically absorb.
This session brings together experienced practitioners who have seen these transitions from multiple sides, including leading enterprise-scale organizations both onto and off SAP. This won’t be a vendor critique or an argument in any direction. Instead, we promise a candid, experience-driven discussion that surfaces real trade-offs, challenges, and considerations that often get overlooked.
SO.
Whether you’re just starting to understand what this transition means, already planning your move to HANA, or wondering whether now is the time to evaluate alternatives, this discussion is designed for SAP Commissions and Callidus customers who want to approach the decision thoughtfully.
As a takeaway, attendees will receive:
- A pre-implementation checklist
- A technology evaluation guide
