For an organization to fully realize the value of an intelligent enterprise, there is a need to utilize cloud technology platforms that enable end-to-end process integration of HR data and non-HR systems. SAP SuccessFactors HCM is a vital component of an organization’s business strategy, as it helps companies break down traditional HR and business barriers to better understand, manage, and optimize their entire workforce (both internal and external employees) in line with their overall business goals and financial priorities. Pre-built integrations and compatibility with other SAP and third-party solutions extends HR data and solutions across the entire organization.
With an intelligent and integrated end-to-end business process, organizations can measure value by the impact to their end-to-end processes.
