When implementing the SAP SuccessFactors product suite, there are many different deployment options. Each client and implementation partner can have a preferred approach about which module should be implemented first and the deployment sequence for the remaining modules. There are however, some pros and cons to the sequencing of the modules and other factors that should be considered when defining the implementation order. In this blog, I will look at the guidelines and key factors influencing the module deployment decisions for an SAP SuccessFactors product suite implementation.
A request we often get from clients is whether SAP SuccessFactors can be a hub for employees to access other Human Resources Systems. The good news is that this capability is now supported. For many clients, SAP SuccessFactors will be one of the most widely used application suites, and having the capability to use it as a hub for linking to other applications will improve the adoption and benefits that you can derive from SAP SuccessFactors product suite.
So you’ve selected the SAP SuccessFactors HCM suite as the core HR and/or Talent Management cloud solution for your company, now what? The next step will impact the overall success of your project, and that is the selection of your internal implementation team and an implementation partner. In the SAP SuccessFactors ecosystem, there are many implementation partners to choose from. In this blog post (which is an excerpt from my book, Implementing SAP SuccessFactors – A Client centered approach) I review the key criteria and approach for selecting an implementation partner.
