Cloud Integration

SuccessFactors Employee Central and Employee Central Payroll enable the establishment of a standalone cloud-based HR system. Many companies have already made significant investments in on-premise solutions from SAP or other providers and prefer to continue using them alongside SAP SuccessFactors. To safeguard these investments and integrate them with SAP systems and other providers, SAP offers several integration options.

The most straightforward approach is through SAP Integration Suite, which facilitates direct API management. Additionally, solutions like SAP Cloud Integration (formerly known as SAP CPI) serve as middleware, enabling deeper integration with SuccessFactors via file transfers or web services. Middleware supports real-time integration, whereas file-based integration requires periodic data synchronization. SAP provides numerous pre-built solutions and Rapid Deployment Solutions (RDS) that seamlessly integrate with existing systems, utilizing modern web standards and open file formats for compatibility with both SAP and non-SAP cloud solutions.

Apart from SAP Integration Suite, alternatives like SAP Process Orchestration (SAP PO) or Dell Boomi cater to diverse integration needs in hybrid environments, where robust data synchronization between cloud and on-premise systems is critical.
