SAP SuccessFactors Learning

There is a significant adoption in recruitment process and performance management process per se.

Along with SAP, we have implemented some of these AI use cases for our clients as a part of SuccessFactors.

there is also a good amount of appetite currently in the finance in cfo's organization some of the elements such as reconciliation for the month end automation of the invoicing approval processes etc definitely getting adopted so that is currently essentially it's now and near In two years of time, this is going to increase so much that there's more and more adoption into supply chain, in manufacturing, in R&D functions, quality management, and so on and so forth.

Some of these functions like HR, finance, and procurement are going to lay down the foundation and checks and balances of the entire organization.

Today on the show, we're very privileged to have Dr.

Autumn Krauss, Chief Scientist at SAP SuccessFactors Future of Work Research Lab.

Now, Autumn leads global research into how AI is reshaping jobs, management, workforce planning, career development and also workplace performance.

Her team studies emerging trends across thousands of employees and workplaces around the world to understand what the future of work might look like five years out from here.

Yeah, absolutely.

So I lead a team of PhD organizational scientists.

We sit inside product and engineering at SAP SuccessFactors, and we are identifying all of those emerging trends.

But then also, as you said, conducting our original research to inform our product strategy and the vision where we want to invest as we build our HR technology, but also providing guidance to companies at a moment that is pretty unsettling, right? So a lot of ambiguity, it's pretty cacophonous as far as the AI transformation, what it's going to mean for both organizations and workers.

So like a lot of the jobs I was applying for wanted workday experience, which I did not have.

I had Oracle, I had SuccessFactors, all the works, but not workday.

So I went on to Coursera and this is not a plug.

I'm not a partner with Coursera, but if they want to, I'm here.

Let's end today's episode by taking a look at what's happening around the ASUG community this week.

First, read about how Olamel, the meatpacking and food processing company, leveraged SAP SuccessFactors and Business Technology Platform to create a modern HR foundation that supports both operational efficiency and employee engagement.

Then join ASUG on September 9th for a community conversation focused on how AI is impacting teams, roles, and the overall future of IT work.

So it's a pretty exciting time.

But I'd say that whereas that line of demarcation between us and let's say a CRM system like Salesforce or an ERP system like an SAP or Oracle or HR system like Workday or SuccessFactors, you know those have been defined over the last decade or two um the legal space is evolving very rapidly right now so historically we didn't do a whole lot of integration because there was just so many little specialized tools but now that there are a number of players trying to build more consolidated suites tailored specifically for lawyers we we want to make sure that that our system interfaces properly with them and if you have If you're a smaller company and your needs are maybe not quite as complex, we can probably support you end-to-end.

And so we provide both.

Are we going to see agents signing agreements for us? Is that a future?

When you all think about Corning and its HR processes, why were SAP BTP work zone and success factors so vital to innovation at your organization?

Okay, so SuccessFactors is our system of record for any of our HR data.

So that's going to be our main data source.

When we think about what we're able to do with BTP and some of the applications we're developing there, that's really allowing us to create extensions of SuccessFactors functionality that the core product doesn't provide, right? And so we get that through.

It's a secure platform and way to do that.

And when we think about work zone, that allows us to create really a one-stop shop.

We've talked about BTP.

We've talked about WorkZone.

The human capital management function is something that ERP systems historically have not done well.

It's why companies like SAP have gone out and bought SuccessFactors, a very successful HCM solution.

It's because SAP historically, as an example, had not handled HCM well, and so they went and bought a leader in the HCM space.

And again, this is not what ERP systems were built to do.
