SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s cloud human capital management suite. Employee Central acts as the core HR system of record, surrounded by talent modules for recruiting, onboarding, performance and goals, compensation, learning, and succession and development.
It helps HR teams manage the full employee lifecycle on one platform, standardise global processes, and give employees and managers self-service through a modern interface.
Many organisations are moving from on-premise SAP HCM to SuccessFactors, often keeping payroll on-premise or moving to Employee Central Payroll. Integration with S/4HANA, payroll and third-party systems runs through SAP Integration Suite.
