Two systems, finally in sync:Employee Central re-implemented for a 33-channel media conglomerate
Two SAP systems already live, neither talking to the other. VISCAP re-implemented Employee Central and integrated it with HCM Payroll in four months.
Two SAP systems, never introduced to each other
A thirty-three-channel entertainment conglomerate reaching more than 95 million households in India — and viewers across the U.S., Canada, Europe, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand — had implemented both SAP SuccessFactors and SAP HCM Payroll. The problem was not that either was missing: the two were never synchronized, and no longer met the organization’s requirements. More than 1,100 employees across seven-plus locations were affected.
The key business challenges
An unused Employee Central. SuccessFactors Employee Central was not utilized after implementation.
AdoptionPayroll out of sync. HCM Payroll was not updated and synchronized with SuccessFactors.
IntegrationA re-implementation mandate. The expectation was to re-implement the EC module and synchronize it with the existing HCM Payroll.
ScopeEmployee Central had to be re-implemented — and this time, payroll had to read from it.
Re-implementing the core, then connecting the payroll
VISCAP approached the engagement across three connected transformation areas — each one slides over the last as you scroll.
Re-implement Employee Central
We understood all existing HR business processes and challenges, and worked on a consultative approach for each business solution.
The existing organization chart was restructured and the employee gradation structure transformed.
Cleanse the master data
Master data was cleansed and updated with the required details, so the re-implemented core started from records the business could trust.
Integrate with HCM Payroll
SAP SuccessFactors was integrated with SAP HCM Payroll, with SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI) as the integration tool.
Implemented in 4 months with 2 weeks of hyper-care support.
A connected business technology environment
From two systems that never spoke to one core feeding one payroll — one connected path.
Business impact
The most visible result: Employee Central back in use — and payroll reading from it.
One structure everywhere
One organization structure and grading model across all locations, with master data cleansed and maintained in the required detail.
Simplified data and workflows
Data management and workflow processes simplified across the organization, with proactive alerts keeping processes on track.
Room to grow
The reutilized Employee Central platform is ready to adopt and implement further modules.
More than a re-implementation
The broadcaster moved from two unsynchronized SAP systems to a re-implemented Employee Central tightly integrated with SAP HCM Payroll over CPI — consultative process rework, data cleansing and integration delivered within one four-month program.
Employee Central re-implemented
Existing HR processes were reworked consultatively and the core rebuilt on one organization structure and grading model across seven locations.
Master data cleansed first
Records were cleansed and completed to the required detail, so the re-implemented core started from data the business could trust.
Payroll finally reading from HR
SuccessFactors was integrated with SAP HCM Payroll over SAP CPI — two systems that had never been introduced, working as one in four months.
Two systems that were never introduced, finally working as one.
