SAP HCM and Success Factors Process Integration

[Former Member]

Hi

There are various kinds of Process Integration that will be required between SAP HCM and Success Factors BizX when implementing a Hybrid Solution.

Assume that Core HR, Payroll and core applications will be on premise and Performance, Succession, Learning, Recruitment, Workforce Planning and Analytics over the cloud.

Some examples would be:

1. Basic Salary Data to flow from SAP HCM to BizX Compensation Management and compensation allocations like merit increases, bonuses etc back from BizX to SAP HCM.

2. Vacancy information to flow from SAP HCM to BizX Recruiting Execution and Candidate/Employee information back from BizX to SAP HCM.

Can we think of more examples like this? What all kinds of Data and Process Integration do existing customers need and going forward what all might be needed with higher levels of integration between the two products.

Hi Shubham,

To be perfectly honest, there are a lot of scenarios required for integration in the Hybrid. Every module will have a set of core scenarios (like those you mention).

For example, let's take succession planning. Successor, Competency, Talent Group and Key Position data needs to be transferred to SuccessFactors BizX (assuming none of it is in the system already). Then succession plans are created for key positions using employees from Talent Groups that are matched by competencies. New employees are added to Talent Groups as part of the succession processes. Then these new succession plans and talent group nominations need to be sent back to SAP.

This is a very high-level, best practice example and there are many more. I think it would be a fairly big task to list all of them here, but I think it could make a great SCN Blog or Document.

Best regards,

Hi Luke

Thanks for the insightful response. Your example about Succession Planning was something I was looking forward to and it will help adding to my research.

I agree with you that there will be a big list of process integrations that might be required. I am trying to make a comprehensive list which can be reused by customers and system integrators.

Would really love to know if from your past experience/knowledge you can help me out with some more such scenarios.

I have replied to all of your threads. It might be nice if you could share with the community some of the things you have learned on your project (in the future).

Best regards,

Hi Luke

I am definitely looking forward to put up a part of my research in a blog soon. There are some basic set of scenarios across modules which will showcase the process level integrations between the two systems. Your inputs have been really helpful, appreciate the time.
