How can SAP Signavio and SAP Lean IX help maximize the value of SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Core and Payroll?

Process intelligence refers to the ability to capture, analyze, and understand the data generated by a particular process. This data can provide valuable insights into how the process is functioning, identify bottlenecks, and suggest improvements. In the context of HR, process intelligence can be used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of HR processes and improve overall business outcomes.

SAP Signavio Process Intelligence includes a number of templates that integrate with SAP SuccessFactors solutions for core HR and payroll. These include functionalities for:

• Organizational charts

• Employee profile management

• Self-service tools for employees and managers

• Real-time data updates reflecting changes in employee profiles

• Reporting capabilities for SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central

These templates are designed to help maintain compliance with local and global regulations, automate HR workflows, manage processes smoothly, and enhance strategic decision-making and business performance.

Some of the ways core HR and payroll can benefit from process intelligence include improving employee engagement and enhancing compliance.

• Improving employee engagement

  Process intelligence can help HR teams understand how employees interact with HR processes, such as performance management and feedback mechanisms. This data can provide insights into employee engagement and help HR tailor processes to improve employee satisfaction, retention, and productivity.

• Enhancing compliance

  As we have seen throughout this course, HR is responsible for ensuring that the organization complies with employment laws and regulations, as well as internal guidelines. Process intelligence can help HR track compliance-related data, such as training and certification records, and identify areas of non-compliance. For example, the templates in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence include capabilities to support localized payroll functionality by identifying local regulations and audit standards, allowing customers to run in-house payroll with confidence. Another example is the direct integration with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central for seamless data flow encompassing employee profiles, time off, global benefits, and time management applications.

The challenge of regulatory compliance underscores the importance of SAP Signavio in the area of payroll in particular. To address this, SAP Signavio Process Intelligence contains a set of templates that integrate with SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll which include capabilities to address the following:

• Localized payroll functionality for running in-house payrolls around the world, supporting regulatory compliance and audit standards.

• Pre-packaged template connectors for third-party benefits, time, finance, and travel applications, reducing the need for custom integrations.

• Enhanced user experiences and built-in self-service functionality, which simplifies payroll processes and reduces manual administrative efforts.

• Availability of standard and on-the-fly payroll reports in local languages, improving visibility into payroll data.

• Built-in functionalities like off-cycle support, retroactive payments, concurrent employment payroll processing, and cost-effective cloud computing benefits.

Now, let’s look at some ways that SAP LeanIX can work with SAP Signavio and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central to optimize the overall environment.
