SingHealth Modernises Payroll Infrastructure with IBM Consulting

SingHealth, Singapore's largest public healthcare group, has successfully modernised its core payroll infrastructure with the help of IBM Consulting. The project involved migrating SingHealth's payroll and custom applications from legacy SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA using a Private RISE model.

According to Johnny Quah, deputy group chief financial officer at SingHealth, 'This collaboration with IBM Consulting, with the support of Synapxe, enabled us to upgrade our payroll infrastructure without any disruption to our operations.'

The modernisation positions SingHealth alongside other public healthcare clusters in Singapore that have migrated to SAP Private RISE. Payroll remains one of the most strictly regulated enterprise functions, governed by statutory obligations including Central Provident Fund (CPF) contributions and Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) tax requirements.
