SuccessFactors Q3 2015 Release Highlights

Our third release this year is the release of the “centers”, but there are a lot of other great enhancements across the SuccessFactors® HCM Suite as well.

With these three new centers, we make life easier for HR and system administrators:

• Event center feature: based on predefined rules and settings, HR and system administrators can create suite-wide process events and notifications

• The new administration center feature makes control easier by providing visibility into business process status, workflows, health and performance of your SuccessFactors solution instance

• With our new integration center feature, SuccessFactors solutions can be more easily connected to other solutions (via a simple-to-use, easy experience and prebuilt templates)

We are still increasing the number of our country versions. With this release we delivered two new country versions for Employee Central: Nigeria and Kenya.

Our payroll time sheet functionality now calculates time pay types for premiums and records allowances

In Talent Management, employee competencies can be matched with job role competencies by using our recommended successor feature. In addition, you can immediately address successor skills and competency gaps by adding development goals directly from the succession org chart.
