With the forecast of new performance benchmarks, reduced operating costs, and HR systems that are continually evolving, organizations may need help. GP Strategies is fully committed to helping clients standardize their processes and technology solutions as they make the move to the cloud.
However, a standardized form does not work for everyone.
Some organizations may find that they are forced to extend the functionality provided by the cloud. Yet, you still want to support your organization from the cloud. Well, that is no longer a roadblock on your company’s journey to the cloud with the SAP Business Technology Platform. You can now customize your solution to fit your specific need.
Organizations should consider the SAP Business Technology Platform if they:
- Want to optimize a critical process that has high volume and cannot be implemented efficiently in SuccessFactors
- Need to support a complex process that cannot be simplified
- Have higher requirements than normal for the user interface (UI) due to the target audience
- Want to pull data from multiple systems into one overview/form/action
The SAP Business Technology Platform is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) and enables clients to host a custom-developed solution. This allows companies to extend SuccessFactors into areas of their organization where they either cannot or do not wish to use the standard solutions offered by SAP. In fact, the SAP Business Technology Platform can be used to extend any system with application programming interface (API) capabilities.
The SAP Business Technology Platform contains a powerful toolkit of services ranging from the Internet of Things (IoT), gamification, and machine learning to a fully web-based development UI. Applications are built to easily fetch and model data from OData APIs and align with the FIORI design guidelines to seamlessly support your organization’s processes in the cloud.
