What is SuccessFactors?

SuccessFactors is part of SAP. Companies can use SuccessFactors to optimize their Human Experience Management (HXM) in the cloud. This transforms and extends HR strategies. With the HXM suite, you offer employees experiences tailored to the individual so they stay motivated and get the most out of themselves.

What does the SuccessFactors connector do?

The link between AFAS and SuccessFactors automates the transfer of data between AFAS and SuccessFactors in a secure manner. Our software platform SalureConnect merges this data and processes it into one overview. You manage the data centrally and enter data in one place. This will reduce the risk of errors and you will spend less time keeping track of different systems.

What are the benefits of the SuccessFactors interface?

1 Information flow and efficient processes:

With daily extraction of complete data and comparison of files between SuccesFactors and an HRM system such as AFAS, Salure’s SuccesFactors interface exchanges data flawlessly. This ensures a secure and complete analysis of your employee data. You manage and enter the data in one place, reducing the amount of time you spend keeping track of the information in the various systems.

2 No duplicate entry:

The SuccessFactors interface allows you to enter and manage all your data in one place. Tracking, checking and completing data in one system saves you time. Allowing you to spend more time on Human Resource Management, for example.

3 Dashboards & Reports: 

AFAS offers all kinds of standard dashboards within the system. When you link SuccesFactors and AFAS, for example, information from both systems will become visible in the dashboards. In this way, data from two different HRM systems come together in one place.

Within SuccesFactors or AFAS, you will have direct access to these dashboards via deep links. You will also have access to all kinds of standard ad hoc reports on relevant HRM themes. The system delivers the desired output at any time.

From SalureConnect you can quickly export dashboards to Excel or have them automatically e-mailed to you. The dashboards can be clicked through in multiple layers, and are thus insightful at multiple levels. This makes in-depth analyses possible. SalureConnect is 100% modular. As a user, you choose which information is visible on the dashboard, so that you keep an overview on a daily basis.

When is a SuccessFactors interface useful to you?

When choosing a connector, you want to make a thoughtful decision for your organization. That’s why it’s important to clearly identify your organization’s needs. Below are six common reasons why organizations choose to interface with SuccessFactors:

  1. Employees from your Dutch AFAS HRM system should be linked to Succesfactors as an international HR system. Here, things like address, rewards, contract, personal data, schedule, salary, etc. must be automatically synchronized;
  2. Employee data must be linked, with one system leading. Example: new employees automatically get an account in Successfactors when created in AFAS;
    Organizational structures must be automatically synchronized between systems;
  3. Salary data from the contract should be linked to the payroll system for proper payment;
  4. Convert global payroll data into one same format so that you can compare all payroll costs between countries in one dashboard;
  5. Quality control of data in HRM and payroll systems, for example, by comparing employee utilization with costs in both systems.

This varies greatly as these types of systems often involve customization and complex processes. Specific requirements obviously add extra development time. Our experience shows that from the moment the interface is built, an average process has a minimum lead time of 3 months.
