Business challenge

The platform had stopped keeping up

The federation — a network of professional associations and partners across all sectors of Singapore, helping workers of all collars, ages and nationalities toward better jobs and better wages — ran its HR operation on a heavily customized third-party SaaS HRMS. Self-service and cross-module integration were out of reach, and more than 1,200 employee records lived on the incumbent platform.

The key business challenges

01

Decentralized, customized data. Data was decentralized across cross-module processes, on an HRMS that had been customized heavily and in an unstructured way.

Data
02

Control and governance. Full control over the system was expected rather than a vendor’s SaaS model, particularly where confidential data was concerned.

Governance
03

Migration without re-entry. Existing employee data had to be migrated as it stood — without manual intervention — while moving to consistent processes at lower administrative cost.

Migration
The requirement

The federation needed a global solution under its own control — with every record carried over untouched.

One connected suite, with the data carried over

VISCAP approached the engagement across three connected transformation areas — each one slides over the last as you scroll.

01 · TRANSFORMATION AREA

Implement the full suite

Seven modules were implemented as one connected suite, with SuccessFactors cross-module integrations highly utilized to give a robust solution — a consultative approach applied to each business process.

02 · TRANSFORMATION AREA

Migrate the master data

SAP’s standard InfoPorter solution migrated existing employee master data into SuccessFactors — answering the requirement that nothing be re-keyed by hand.

A multi-hatter review mechanism was configured in PMGM, defining the cross-module role in Employee Central.

03 · TRANSFORMATION AREA

Integrate the landscape

Integration with SAP S/4 Payroll and multiple other applications was delivered over SAP CPI, with data monitoring facilities alongside.

The schedule

Implemented in 12 months with 3 months of hyper-care — the phased schedule the customer suggested, to fit their internal roadmap.

A connected business technology environment

From a customized SaaS HRMS to a full suite under the federation’s own control — one connected path.

A better employee experience

A fresh UI, hassle-free leave management, and simplified learning with advanced materials and a feedback system.

Real-time management insight

Managers see the entire workforce in real time, with proactive alerts keeping processes on track and a quantifiable performance system underneath.

Data under the federation’s control

Consistent processes at lower administrative cost — with confidential data held by the client rather than a vendor’s SaaS model.

Transformation outcome

More than a platform swap

The federation moved from a heavily customized third-party SaaS HRMS to seven SuccessFactors modules working as one connected suite — implementation, InfoPorter data migration and CPI integration delivered within one program, on the schedule the customer set.

Seven modules as one suite

Employee Central, PMGM, Recruiting, Onboarding, Learning, Compensation and Succession were implemented with cross-module integration used throughout.

Every record carried over

SAP’s standard InfoPorter solution migrated existing employee master data into SuccessFactors — 1,200+ records moved with nothing re-keyed by hand.

Integrated, and under the federation’s control

SAP S/4 Payroll and surrounding applications were connected over CPI with data monitoring alongside — confidential data now held by the federation, not a vendor.

An HR platform that works as well for the people running it as for the members it exists to serve.
