In my first blog on how to extend SuccessFactors core capabilities by using Boomi, we looked at the automatic creation of Development Goals in the Career and Development Planning (CDP) module. Here, we will look at compensation data.
SAP SuccessFactors Platform Components – Part 5: Single Sign On
In SAP SuccessFactors, Single Sign On (SSO) provides a secure and seamless method for a user to access the system without having to enter their credentials. The SSO methods supported by SAP SuccessFactors fall into two main groups. The first is token based SSO and the second is Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). SAML is based on a pre-defined standard for exchanging authentication information between systems. If your company is already using SAML for SSO with other applications, then that’s what you should use for SAP SuccessFactors as well.
SAP SuccessFactors Platform Components – Part 6: Core Platform and Rating Scales
In this final post of my six-part Platform Components series, I will be looking at Rating Scales and the other Core Platform elements. Before I jump into the details, let’s look one more time at the visual I have been using to represent the platform components and review what’s been covered so far.
Set Up and Use Okta for Single Sign On (SSO) with SAP SuccessFactors
In my last blog on the platform series for SAP SuccessFactors, I covered Single Sign On (SSO) capabilities. In this blog I’ll cover the actual setup of SSO using the SAML option with Okta as the Identity Provider. If you are not familiar with Okta, they are the leading provider of Identity and Access Management as a Service.
How to Extend SuccessFactors Capabilities Using Dell Boomi AtomSphere®- Part 3: Payroll
In my previous posts on extending SuccessFactors core capabilities by using Boomi, I talked about the automatic creation of Development Goals in the Career Development Planning (CDP) module and how to automatically create a mini-compensation statement using the Meta Data Framework (MDF) panel. In the third part of this series I’ll discuss how you can extend Employee Central (EC) tax capabilities by linking EC with the Onboarding module to generate a tax feed for payroll.
An Introduction to SAP SuccessFactors Data Access Tools
As the modules and features in the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite have increased, so have the volume and types of data that are stored in the system. A full suite implementation likely results in the SAP SuccessFactors suite being the system of record for multiple types of data such as HR, benefits, learning, compliance, recruiting, etc. As such there is an increased need to update and access data from the system. In this blog, I’ll look at the various data access tools that can be used to import and export data from the system.
SAP SuccessFactors Platform Components – Part 2: Using Competencies in the HCM Suite
In my last blog post I covered the SAP SuccessFactors Platform components and mentioned that one of the Platform components was Family, Roles, Competencies and Job Codes. I also indicated that Platform features are often overlooked in an implementation even though their configuration impacts many of the modules and the benefits that can be derived from the SAP SuccessFactors application. In this blog, I’ll look specifically at competencies and how they can be used across the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite.
SAP SuccessFactors Platform Components – Part 4: Job Profile Builder
The Job Profile Builder is a platform feature in the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite that provides a flexible and intuitive way to identify all the elements of a job and share them with your users. It is meant to be a replacement for the legacy Job Description Manager (JDM) so that a user can use this tool to control changes and updates to job profiles. The use of Job Profile Builder (JPB) also negates the need for the legacy Families & Roles (which I covered in my previous post), as JPB provides more comprehensive features to allow customers to build complete job profiles with multiple elements and types of content.
