SAP SuccessFactors Expands Global HR Capabilities with G-P Gia Integration

On December 3, Globalization Partners (G-P), a global employment services provider, announced that its global HR agent, G-P Gia, is available on SAP Store.

Fully integrated with SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Joule, G-P Gia delivers real-time global employment guidance, compliance insights, and country-specific documentation directly within SAP SuccessFactors Human Experience Management (HXM) environment.

For SuccessFactors users, this integration brings an additional layer of intelligence and automation to global operations, ensuring HR leaders can provide accuracy, consistency, and compliance without leaving their core SAP systems.

“The integration of G-P Gia with SAP brings a new level of intelligence, automation and compliance to global HR,” said Lori McNally, senior vice president for partners at G-P. She continued, “G-P Gia works within SAP SuccessFactors and Joule to give customers real-time guidance, streamlined workflows and confidence in global HR decisions.”

Why Lean HR Teams Need Built-In Expertise

When multinational employers lack globally distributed HR capabilities, they often rely on a single specialist or external vendor for country-specific advisory.

In this scenario, even routine tasks—like coordinating meetings across multiple time zones or engaging third-party vendors in host countries—can stretch resources during a new market entry, planned restructuring, or international expansion.

The complexity grows when tasks requiring in-country expertise are added.

Designing onboarding processes that respect local customs, drafting legally enforceable employment contracts, and aligning headquarters’ HR standards with foreign regulatory requirements can exceed what a lean HR function can manage.

Partners with a structured knowledge base can help navigate this complexity. G-P is uniquely positioned to do so, leveraging its in-country HR, legal and compliance experts, along with its proprietary knowledge base.

Leveraging AI to Enhance Global HR Workflows

The integration of G-P Gia with SAP SuccessFactors is part of SAP’s broader strategy to embed AI and automation across HR, analytics, compliance, and workforce management.

In October, SAP formally introduced its Workforce Knowledge Network, a framework that allows SAP to integrate third-party expertise—such as G-P—through SAP Joule. This agent-to-agent approach allows SAP to deliver relevant real-time support directly within SuccessFactors, helping HR teams make faster, evidence-based decisions.

Currently, G-P Gia supports 50 countries and all 50 US states. This includes more than 100,000 vetted sources that are continuously reviewed by professionals for up-to-date expertise. HR teams using SAP SuccessFactors can access jurisdiction-specific guidance, generate compliant contracts, and streamline workforce management.

As SAP layers AI throughout the SAP SuccessFactors HXM suite, the G-P Gia integration moves SAP closer to achieving a unified, intelligent system, where HR can automate routine tasks and obtain context-aware guidance.

What This Means for SAP insiders

• It’s becoming easier to scale HR globally. With G-P Gia integrated directly into SuccessFactors and SAP Joule, HR teams can manage complex, multi-jurisdictional operations without over-reliance on in-country specialists or external vendors. This ensures more consistent, compliant, and scalable HR processes across regions.
• Automation delivers consistency amid complexity. Routine tasks can strain lean, distributed HR teams. But AI-driven guidance from tools like G-P Gia streamlines workflows and accelerates decision-making. HR leaders can now devote more time to strategic workforce planning, employee development, and organizational growth.
• AI-driven, context-aware HR is becoming reality. G-P Gia and other third-party solutions through SAP partnerships are building a connected, intelligent ecosystem for HR. This networked approach gives SuccessFactors users real-time expertise and streamlined workflows, while helping SAP expand adoption and deliver greater strategic value.
