A SAP SuccessFactors implementation can be a large project requiring significant cost, effort and time. A successful implementation results in an integrated human capital management (HCM) system that improves both business alignment and people performance. This can drive significant benefits and competitive advantage. As such, any guide or information that can increase the possibility of a successful implementation is beneficial to a project implementation team.

This book is designed to share information about the best approach to implementing SAP SuccessFactors. It focuses on the areas of the overall implementation that are critical, but often overlooked to the detriment of the overall project success. It shares information that an implementer might wish they had when starting the project instead of learning it during the implementation when it will be too late for them to use to help ensure a successful project.

First, it covers what is being implemented by describing the SAP SuccessFactors system. Then, it discusses the "why" aspect or the business benefits that the company is expecting to realize from the implementation. It then covers the actual implementation process, and finally discusses critical post go live support and upgrade options.
