The SAP HCM Insights podcast is all about the SAP SuccessFactors and SAP HCM / HXM products, customers, implementations, management and people. Every two weeks we provide insight, commentary, information and discussion from a team of industry experts including Steve Bogner, Becky Murray, Sven Ringling and Brandon Toombs - and the occasional guest.
We’re back! After taking a short break Steve Bogner and the SAP HCM Insights podcast team are back to talk about SAP and SuccessFactors HCM. In this episode Steve is joined by Luke Marson, Amy Grubb and Brandon Toombs to talk about common challenges in Employee Central projects and how to handle them.
In this podcast the team talk about how support models differ for SuccessFactors and cloud compared to on-premise. Is there an ideal support model? How do roles and responsibilities change for HR, IT and Finance? How does a company’s relationship with consulting partners and outsourcing firms change? Join Steve Bogner, Amy Grubb, Sharon Newton, Sven Ringling, Martin Gillet and Luke Marson as we discuss this and more - including our new listener feedback contest!
Governance and change management are as important as ever with SAP SuccessFactors HCM. Just because it's cloud software doesn't mean you can dial back on these things - in fact, we feel they might be more important than in the on-premise days (quarterly releases!). Join Steve Bogner, Brandon Toombs, Amy Grubb, Mark Ingram, Sven Ringling and Martin Gillet as they dive into these topics and more.
Jon Reed of Diginomica joins us for this discussion on the myth of the talent shortage. We hear it all the time - there is a talent shortage. But is there really? Or is it that employers are not creative enough in their search for talent? Maybe there are other factors at work - listen in an let us (Steve Bogner, Sharon Newton, Amy Grubb, Martin Gillet and Mark Ingram) know what you think about this. Myth, or not?
This one is all about payroll in SAP and SuccessFactors - on-premise payroll, Employee Central Payroll and Managed Payroll. We also talk about Payroll Control Center, Time Evaluation and the choices customers face with all this.
