SAP Productized Integrations
SAP calls them “productized” because they go through the full lifecycle of a software product and thus become part of SAP standard: They are designed, developed, tested, delivered and maintained by experts at SAP — and, in the case of 3rd party integrations, in collaboration with the experts of SAP partners.
Productized integrations built by SAP are simple to implement, are less likely to break during software updates and inexpensive to maintain. In the event of disruption or failure of a productized integration, SAP takes on the responsibility of addressing the problems.
Productized integrations will save customers about 80 percent of the cost of building and maintaining integrations compared to custom building them
SAP provides a portfolio of productized integrations for our customers, covering all critical business processes. Examples for productized integrations between SAP solutions
>SAP ERP (e.g. to keep running payroll on-premise and to exchange data with Finance)
>SAP Fieldglass (for total workforce visibility and management including contingent labor)
SAP also builds and maintains productized integrations to numerous 3rd party best-of-breed solutions to complement SAP SuccessFactors and round out the HR landscape. SAP has productized integrations from SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central for various HR functions
>Benefits Management: Benefitfocus, Aon, Thomsons
>Payroll: ADP, NGA
>Recruiting: Kenexa
>Time Management: OpenText, Kronos
>Platform: LinkedIn (to People Profile), Microsoft Active Directory
This sections only covers the productized integrations for SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central. There are more productized integrations available for other solutions, e.g. between SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting and several recruiting service providers.
