Start Anywhere with SuccessFactors

You don't need Employee Central to use SuccessFactors. Any module can connect to the HR system you already have.

One of SuccessFactors' strengths is that you can start with any module, such as Recruiting, Onboarding, Performance and Goals, Succession and Development or Learning, and expand from there. Many companies already have an HR information system (HRIS) and want to add one or more SuccessFactors modules. A common misconception is that Employee Central is required to connect SuccessFactors to an external HRIS. It isn't. The SuccessFactors Platform, common to the whole suite, holds your employee profiles and can be integrated with your existing HRIS, including SAP ECC and S/4HANA.

Ways to Integrate SuccessFactors

Efficient, cost-effective options for any HR system.

APIs and Web Services

If your HRIS is web-based, SuccessFactors' APIs can automate the exchange of employee data in both directions.

File Exchange

An exchange of data files between systems. If your HRIS can import or export a file, it can share data with SuccessFactors, even without an API.

SuccessFactors Integration FAQ

Do we need Employee Central to integrate SuccessFactors with our HR system?

No. The SuccessFactors Platform, common to every module, holds your employee profiles and can be integrated with your existing HRIS. Employee Central is an excellent HRIS, but it isn't required.

How can SuccessFactors be integrated with another system?

Through SuccessFactors' APIs and web services, which suit web-based systems, or through an exchange of data files, which works with almost any system. For SAP ECC and S/4HANA, SAP also provides prepackaged integrations.

Can SuccessFactors work with a non-SAP HRIS?

Yes. As long as your HRIS can import or export a data file, it can exchange information with SuccessFactors, even if it has no API.

Does CONTAX also implement SuccessFactors?

Yes. We implement SuccessFactors modules and integrate them with your SAP and HR systems.
