Key SAP Talent Management Considerations for SAPinsiders
- SAP Talent Management offerings are cloud-based. SAP SuccessFactors made its name in the talent management software-as-a-service (SaaS) space long before it was purchased by SAP in 2012. A decade later, SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s primary focus for HR software development, with the cloud-based talent management modules getting twice-yearly updates.
- Many on-premise SAP ERP HCM customers also use SAP SuccessFactors talent modules. The SAP SuccessFactors suite is offered in a modular way — which means customers can choose specific functionalities without investing in a full cloud HR suite. On-premise SAP customers have often added on SAP SuccessFactors talent modules such as Performance & Goals or Recruiting to their existing HCM offering as a way to test the cloud HR software waters.
- Companies are increasing focus on a potential employee’s first impression. In our recent HR Technology State of the Market report, recruiting and onboarding solutions were in use or being implemented at just 36% and 29% of respondents’ organizations, respectively; however, they were the top two HR technologies in planning or evaluation mode. This suggests companies are beginning to understand the importance of a first impression when it comes to meeting requirements — particularly in areas such as talent acquisition and retention.
