How to Expedite Your SuccessFactors Implementation With a Preconfigured Solution
The Innovation Behind the Base Model Approach for SAP SuccessFactors
After several clients mentioned to us the challenges associated with getting the most out of their SAP SuccessFactors solution with limited in-house resources, we developed the idea of the Base Model Approach. Instead of simply asking our clients what they have in mind and risking building a cluttered system with unnecessary customizations, our SAP SuccessFactors subject matter experts developed a preconfigured SAP SuccessFactors solution that provides a proven starting point and allows you to make qualified decisions based on an existing setup with minimal maintenance.
Advantages to using our Base Model Approach include:
Simplified requirement identification process
Decreases implementation times and costs
Reduces risk of failed user adoption
How Does the Base Model Approach Work?
Each module and process in Base Model Approach is configured by combining SAP’s best practice recommendations with our own independent insights. Our home-grown best practice guidelines are drawn from years of experience working with hundreds of clients globally.
The result is a simple, well-integrated solution that can be used as a starting point for any kind of implementation, regardless of the complexity. With the Base Model Approach, configuration and documentation are fully completed from the beginning of the project, saving both time and money.
Who Would Benefit From the Base Model Approach?
Whether you’re an existing SAP SuccessFactors client or are starting your SAP SuccessFactors implementation journey, this is an opportunity for you. You can implement the full Base Model Approach suite to ensure your modules are seamlessly integrated with each other. You can also implement standalone modules or full processes (Recruit to Hire, Perform and Rewards, Core and Reporting, Learning and Development), or implement custom packages.
