4 ways the SAP SuccessFactors integration makes life easier

BetterUp partnered with SAP SuccessFactors to connect core HR systems and empower our customers with deeper insights and administrative ease. If you're an HR leader, read on to learn four ways connecting the two HCM platforms makes life easier and might even spark joy for you and your team. 

1. It gives you proof of business impact on the metrics that matter most 

The pressure to show up at the C-suite table with clear ROI and direction in the face of uncertainty is high. From driving business outcomes to supporting employees, HR leaders must balance the tension between talent, tools, and cost, all while proving the economic value of their initiatives. Now that BetterUp is an official member of the PartnerEdge open ecosystem, our integration allows us to do just this. 

Joint customers can unify their disparate data in one dashboard — The BetterUp People Analytics Dashboard (PAD) — a new kind of analytics platform that surfaces insights on how people are growing in key mindsets and behaviors. 

SAP SuccessFactors gathers high-level HCM attributes like location, tenure, and department, while the PAD collects performance, engagement, and well-being data. Once connected, the HCM and BetterUp data provide details on the business impact of working with BetterUp on improving retention, promotion rates, and performance ratings for your coached employees.

A thorough organizational report, called an Outcome Study, provides further testament and insight to demonstrate the impact HR is influencing from these key platforms and programs.   

2. It powers your data analytics on leadership development

BetterUp's PAD allows you to segment populations, apply filters relevant to your business context, and surface learning content on how to interpret behavioral insights and what it means for your business.

With the SAP SuccessFactors integration, you can add rich insights to your PAD analytics to slice and dice data by the populations and see real-time shifts in behavior change. Data updates automatically, ensuring that each time you open the PAD, you see a snapshot of leadership development and performance outcomes on business metrics that matter to you.

With BetterUp and SAP SuccessFactors directly connected, it guarantees a secure data feed, preventing errors and removing the risk that can happen from manual uploads. 

3. It suggests when to deploy BetterUp licenses and automatically deprovisions them for you

With SAP and BetterUp talking to one another, the SFTP integration powers intelligent BetterUp deployment — automatically suggesting teams or regions that could benefit from a license and deprovisioning them for you based on data in SAP SuccessFactors.

When an employee earns a promotion, it's a critical time of transition and requires new skill development. The connection between platforms will flag this moment and suggests that the employee gets an invitation to start working with BetterUp. With the two systems in sync, you can effectively and efficiently create an unparalleled employee experience. 

4. It links sensitive data in a safe, secure, and automated way 

The SAP SuccessFactors SFTP integration means BetterUp is held to SAP SuccessFactors’s security standards and delivers proven value to mutual customers. BetterUp is SOC II certified, demonstrating deep security testing and vetting to keep your company’s information secure.
