SAP SuccessFactors and OpenText for a simplified, centralised HR platform

Francesco Baradel

July 26, 2023

HR and IT managers are increasingly adopting cloud solutions for managing employee documentation, which in its non-centralised version requires in-house expertise and additional funds for maintenance and updates. A digital HR platform for managing and centralising employee data allows companies to free up internal resources and gain the flexibility needed to accelerate company growth. 

Reducing hiring times, increasing employee retention, boosting employee engagement and complying with company policies are key elements in the optimisation of HR processes. 

However, the transition to a digital HR platform is complex without a certified partner. Organisations that with Ccelera’s support have already started the process of transitioning to cloud-enabled technology and manage employee data via SAP SuccessFactors have been able to simplify workflows, increase operational efficiency and improve the employee experience.

  • A complete digital archive for job applicants and employees  

The OpenText solution goes into action from the moment a job application is received. Documents stored directly within SAP SuccessFactors during hiring, onboarding and employment are managed together with outgoing communications in a single digital spot that can be accessed from anywhere. Employees can access their data using their SAP SuccessFactors username and password from any device.

 

  • Simplified, compliant end-to-end storage 

Employee and applicant documents are created and stored instantaneously within the platform and subjected to targeted checks to improve the IT compliance programme. The software automatically records events in the employee’s life cycle, document type, status and user access details. 

The Extended Enterprise Content Management solution provides SAP SuccessFactors with automatic document storage, movement and search tracking. The platform is also able to detect if documents are missing or outdated, with an immediate alert to employees and the HR team.

 

  • Dynamic HR communication for a better employee experience 

The need to offer employees a connected experience is one of the top priorities. To improve communication with employees, the platform offers a global correspondence tool that allows HR professionals, managers and employees to create customised communications via self-service tools. 

Within the platform, documents can be automatically generated as part of a digital HR process, thus eliminating the need for additional user interaction steps. Automated communications may also be generated as part of a process. With just a few clicks, thousands of documents can be sent, signed, returned and filed in the correct folder within minutes. The platform also includes integration with digital signature applications..
