Linking workforce strategy to business execution

With baseline data flowing across applications, customers can extend this solution to share goals, plans, and metrics between Employee
Central and Workforce Central in order to gain valuable insights and improve execution of workforce strategies. While this process does
not occur automatically, the SuccessFactors-Kronos HCM solution provides easy access to critical data needed to drive more informed
workforce decisions that support key business goals. For example, a workforce planner trying to staff a new line used to have limited
visibility into the supporting data needed to validate the headcount requirements. But when workforce planning is integrated with
workforce management, HR can determine the exact labor hours required by shift to staff a similar line by looking at workforce data such
as skills, tenure, utilization, and even unplanned absence.
 A COMPLETE GLOBAL HCM SOLUTION IN THE CLOUD

SUCCESSFACTORS EMPLOYEE CENTRAL: Employee Central is the next-generation core human resource
information system (HRIS) designed for the global enterprise workforce and delivered securely via the cloud.
It provides one global system of record, effective-dated across geographies, cost centers, legal entities,
and employee types, and combines HR and talent data for a richer, more comprehensive employee profile.
Employee Central enables you to make informed workforce decisions based on a 360° view of the employee
for more effective business execution.

EMPLOYEE CENTRAL PAYROLL:* Simplifying and standardizing even the most complex payroll processes,
Employee Central Payroll (based on the industry-leading SAP Payroll solution) handles multiple currencies
and languages across 22 countries. And because it’s hosted in the cloud, you don’t have to invest in costly
infrastructure or dedicate valuable IT resources to ongoing updates and maintenance.

KRONOS WORKFORCE CENTRAL: The Workforce Central suite provides deep functionality for time and
attendance, scheduling, analytics, and absence management. Optimized across specific industries including retail,
manufacturing, services, healthcare; and public sector, our integrated workforce management solutions provide the
complete automation and high-quality information you need to control labor costs, minimize compliance risk, and
improve workforce productivity. And because Workforce Central can be scaled globally and implemented in the cloud,
you can count on an enterprise-class solution that delivers bottom-line value.

Delivering an integrated, cloud-based solution for global HCM
To date, organizations have had to piece together a global
HCM solution — region by region — to meet their diverse
needs. Why? It was difficult to find a solution that could
support multiple currencies and languages, consistently
apply various work and pay rules, and help ensure regulatory
compliance on a global basis. As a result, it was next
to impossible to aggregate the data needed to align the
global workforce, manage corporate labor budgets, and
optimize productivity enterprisewide. Now, SuccessFactors
and Kronos provide an end-to-end solution — deployed and
managed in the cloud — that supports truly global HCM to
drive new levels of operational efficiency, cost control, and
compliance worldwide.
Providing a configurable, prepackaged integration
Connections between SuccessFactors and Kronos will reduce
integration complexity and enable rapid HCM solution
deployment in a secure, scalable cloud environment. Within
this combined solution, Employee Central will be the HR
system of record that will maintain complete employee
profile, talent, and core HR information. Workforce Central
will collect and manage employee time and attendance
data, evaluate positive and negative time, determine vacation
and sick accruals, and calculate gross payroll. In Employee
Central Payroll, the employee’s personal work schedule will be
taken into consideration, ensuring that the appropriate time
management data is accessed in order for employee absences
to be correctly valuated.

*You may use the SuccessFactors/Kronos solution with Employee Central Payroll as well as with other third-party payroll solutions.

The SuccessFactors-Kronos HCM solution will provide
employers with a configurable, prepackaged integration that
will minimize cost and risk while enabling the reliable transfer
of data among HR, timekeeping; and payroll components. The
solution will include:
• iFlow from SuccessFactors. A certified, pre-packaged
integration that transfers standard employee master
data and organizational data from Employee Central to
Workforce Central. When an HR administrator makes
a change to employee data in Employee Central, it is
updated within Workforce Central. iFlow includes all
the transformational mapping and routing information
needed to communicate with Workforce Central. And
unlike generic connectors, iFlow is fully supported,
certified; and tested across updates and patches by SAP.
• W
 orkforce Integration Manager (WIM) from Kronos.
An integration component that allows you to bring
employee data into Workforce Central and transfer
workforce management data to payroll providers. A
single WIM installation runs multiple interfaces with
different sources and destinations. And WIM can perform
multiple conversion processes, including calculations,
parsing, concatenation, queries, and translation of data
elements, within one interface to provide reliable data
transfer without adding integration complexity.
