Data Migration is like integration in many ways. They both move data from one system to another. They are both complicated activities that are totally dependent on the system configuration. Decisions about project scope, budget, timing and resources are often made without fully understanding the impact to data migration and integration. As a result any large, global Employee Central project will likely experience multiple challenges with data migration. Here are some mitigation approaches for the more common data migration challenges.
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.
In my three-part series on how to use Boomi to extend SAP SuccessFactors capabilities, I reviewed some examples pertaining specifically to Boomi and SuccessFactors. In this post I will take a more general approach, and discuss why it’s important to consider a cloud-based integration platform as part of your overall system architecture when implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution such as SAP SuccessFactors.
