For businesses to stay competitive in the fast-moving business climate, organizations must be agile and innovative. Human resources functions are an integral element of the organization’s success, so ensuring the HR function is constantly up-to-date needs a comprehensive digital transformation for the department. SAP SuccessFactors HXM comprehensive solutions for core HR, time management, and payroll will help you migrate your HR system to the cloud, ensuring your business embraces innovation with the latest cloud-powered technology for core HR.
Here are the top 10 reasons to move to SAP SuccessFactors HXM Solutions
1. Friendly User Experience, Easy to Use and Navigate
To be most efficient, today’s workforce requires an intuitive, simple-to-use HR solution. For the most part, traditional HR systems, such as SAP ERP HCM, require you to log in and know specifics such as transaction codes, Infotype numbers, etc.
You log in to SAP SuccessFactors HXM using your Internet browser, which provides a familiar user experience and makes it easier to upskill new employees.
2. Innovate Constantly and Easily
To remain competitive in today’s changing job market, companies must keep up with the latest innovations. However, keeping traditional HR systems up to date was never an easy task. It required technical resources to apply system updates, followed by technical configuration resources to activate functionality. In addition, staff usually need training for new functions and updates.
SAP SuccessFactors solutions are constantly updated. This ensures that you are not left behind, and unable to take advantage of enhanced functionality. Administrators can also access the upgrade centre, which allows them to select and implement functionality at their own pace.
3. Self-Service And Mobile Functionality
Everyone expects self-service and on-the-go access to their data to be as simple and convenient as their personal products and apps. Although self-service is possible with SAP ERP HCM, it requires an additional licence, and there is no native mobile functionality or app.
Self-service and mobile functionality are included with SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions. SAP has collaborated with Apple and Google to make our iOS and Android apps available on the Apple App Store and Google PlayTM stores, respectively. This gives your employees quick and easy access to HR information.
4. Ease Of Extensibility
Companies need to store employee data records beyond that which is specific to them and to their industry. To store custom data in traditional HR systems or SAP ERP HCM, a technical programmer is typically required. In many cases, it can take a week or more of development to have the fields available on the infotype.
With SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions, you can use our Configure Object Definitions admin centre activity to create custom fields on standard objects in minutes. It comes with a complete standard framework, including API visibility. When standard extensibility is insufficient, you can use SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) to create your own technology and products.
5. Easiest Way To Load Data
Loading data into a system is a common task (in mass hiring, acquisitions, and mergers, for example), and it must be simple for end users. The process of loading data into the SAP ERP HCM system using Transaction LSMW is typically a technical one. However, most companies have developed custom ABAP programmes to load data. This necessitates the use of a developer and weeks of development, especially for custom infotypes.
However, a standard admin centre tool in SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions allows for quick and easy import of information such as employee data.
6. Security And Authorization
Maintaining the security of HR data is crucial, as is ensuring that employees only have access to the information they need to do their jobs. The security architecture for SAP ERP HCM is highly flexible but also highly sophisticated, especially for HR data. In most HR systems and SAP ERP HCM, authorizations are covered in comprehensive five-day training that often calls for a specialised resource.
SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions allow you to configure authorizations using role-based permissions (RBPs), which are simple to implement and set up. Simply put, you create groups (including dynamic groups) and apply authorizations that provide the groups access to the system using two key activities: Manage Permission Groups and Manage Permission Roles. With distinct divisions and names, the arrangement is understandable. Additionally, you can benefit from the dynamic configuration by position, which will enable you to automatically update an employee’s authorizations as they move across the company.
7. Seamless Workflow
In HR, approving things and keeping track of them is crucial. The process task with SAP ERP HCM demands a highly qualified resource who is familiar with it. The workflow framework offers many strong features that HR may not necessarily need because it was created for the entire company, not just HR.
The approval and tracking procedure is an admin centre function with a streamlined user interface in SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions. You can create and use dynamic roles that you can modify based on the most recent personnel data. It’s simple to add “CC” responsibilities and alerts to workflow contributors to keep people informed about specific approvals and procedures without requiring their explicit consent.
8. Simplifying And Automating Data Entry
It is crucial for HR to have the ability to automate manual work so that employees are not responsible for it. There are several alternatives available for this in SAP ERP HCM, including the usage of features, dynamic actions, user exits, and business add-ins (BAdIs). Automation, however, is a technical process that could include specialised code—code that also needs to be updated and tested. As a user, you are only able to query based on the feature’s structure, and the features cannot be date-specific.
It enables you can create rules to streamline and automate data entry using the Configure Business Rules admin centre activity with SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions. It facilitates actions like setting default values and starting workflows or other items using this activity’s IF-THEN logic. You can choose when and how a rule is invoked by associating it with an item. Custom objects can have logic built onto them and are supported by upgrades automatically in the standard framework.
9. Organizational Charts And An Overview Of The Company
Employees must be able to identify other members of staff. Departments, reporting structures, contact details, and much more are included. Although there are add-ons for SAP ERP HCM that can aid with organisational charts, they are not user-friendly.
The organisational chart provided by SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions makes it easy for users to navigate and identify key players. You get organisational charts, which provide you with a more comprehensive view of your organisation, including jobs that might not necessarily be occupied by an individual.
When HR examines a division, business unit, or department, they can use the company structure overview to see how the organisation is set up. Finally, you can use the default organization chart included in the SAP SuccessFactors apps for Apple and Android.
10. Integration
Getting data into the system and exporting data to others who need it are significant tasks for HR.SAP ERP HCM and traditional HR systems usually require ABAP programmers to write bespoke programmes to extract the data. A developer may spend weeks or months creating a programme, which then needs to be watched over.
A common tool for the integration centre is available with SAP SuccessFactors HXM solutions. This tool provides a central location for integrations, allowing the construction of incoming and outgoing integrations as well as the capability to monitor integrations.
Communication between modules, such as between recruiting, onboarding, and core HR, is also crucial. The SAP Cloud Integration service was not originally built for this purpose, despite SAP ERP HCM’s basic integration. SAP SuccessFactors HXM facilitates simpler module-to-module communication.
