In a modern company there are literally hundreds of non-HR processes that depend on HR data. Therefore, HR cannot just think about its own processes when designing their system landscape. There is a huge responsibility associated with the other internal and external stakeholders, because their work depends on accurate people data, which is owned by HR. At the same time HR needs data from other organizations to run its business processes -- so it is really a "give and take" situation.
This creates a risk or an opportunity for HR: The risk is that missing or outdated people data blocks important business workflows, creating escalations and disruptions. The opportunity is that HR runs its own processes smoothly AND ensures a seamless flow of accurate people data to all stakeholders, thus becoming a trusted partner and laying the foundation for business success in a digital workplace.
For all standard integrations to other SAP solutions or systems of leading partners/ HR service providers (e.g. for payroll, benefits, time & attendance) we provide out-of-the box integrations with pre-built content. This will significantly reduce the time, cost and risk to set up and maintain the integrations. With these pre-built integrations, our customers can make sure that their standard business processes are quickly implemented and continuously maintained.
Every customer will have specific integration needs that cannot be covered by standard pre-built content. Often these are custom business processes or innovative solutions that need to be supplied with up-to-date people data. For these specific needs SAP provides a set of tools that are they right fit for each purpose: Easy-to-use tools for business users as well as technical tools for experts to solve very specific integration needs.
