Features

Cloud Solution
SuccessFactors HCM suite is a cloud-only software as a service offering. Users have the flexibility of selecting the software modules they wish to use. They pay a monthly subscription fee that’s based either on the number of employee users of the software or on the amount of time or number of system modules used.

Learning Content
As part of its talent management software, the SuccessFactors HCM suite offers training content development and virtual instruction from the cloud that’s accessible through most standard Web browsers, as well as content as a service, which is available in the cloud for companies to store the learning content they develop.

Analytics & Planning
In the analytics area, the SuccessFactors Workforce Planning module lets HR create what-if employee recruitment and development scenarios. With this module, HR and other key managers can evaluate the operational and financial costs of preparing employees and new hires to fill future skills needs.

Social Collaboration
SuccessFactors also uses the SAP Jam mobile communications product, which enables cross-company employee project collaboration over mobile devices. This also helps employees who are problem-solving to locate company experts in the problem areas; and for experts within the company to create training videos that can be routed to the mobile devices of employees who need the information.

Software Customization
SuccessFactors HCM suite is sold directly through SAP or its third-party business partners. Multiple support options are available and can be tailored to client preferences and needs.

Quarterly Enhancements
SuccessFactors HCM suite is updated four times per year. The Q1 2015 release, includes new features and functions, such as the ability to better plan and manage skill gaps and workforce costs with visibility into the entire workforce; the ability to leverage and extend existing on-premises SAP solutions with cloud-based onboarding to help new hires and managers simplify the on boarding experience; and the new HR business partner role in the SuccessFactors Learning solution to help managers better manage training requirements for their employees.

Modules/Bundles

Core HR
Organizations are often told they need to “rip and replace” their entire solution in order to implement a new core HR system. But SuccessFactors is different. SuccessFactors Employee Central is a complete, cloud technology-based core HR system of record that combines HR transactions, processes and data with social collaboration features and mobile functionality. See Employee Central Demo.
