Wipro's SAP HR move was scoped at over three years. It took 13 months.

Also in 30 seconds: a lobbying group's €115bn cost estimate for EU cloud rules, Accenture's headcount plan and a planned US Customs SAP order.

1. Wipro moved HR for 240,000 employees in 65 countries onto SuccessFactors, SAP's cloud HR software, in 13 months, according to a customer film SAP published on 14 October. The project was first planned for over three years. The film gives no cost, partner or start month, and the figures are the two companies' own. 2. A study for CCIA Europe, a lobbying group whose members include Amazon and Google, puts the EU's proposed cloud rules at €115 billion over ten years, The Register reported. The European Commission's upper estimate is €18 billion. 3. Accenture, with more than 800,000 staff, expects its staff numbers to keep growing despite AI, though more slowly, MarketBeat reported from its 14 October investor day. 4. US Customs and Border Protection is preparing an order worth $50 million to $100 million to plan its move to S/4HANA, SAP's current finance software, ExecutiveGov reported. The forecast gives no cost for the move itself.
