At SuccessFactors, world-leading provider of cloud human experience management (HXM)  - the new people focused term for HCM - we are laser-focused on delivering what our customers “really” want. Are you thinking about easing your burden while managing configurations?

 

Whether you are operating in a 2-tier, 3-tier or n-tier system landscape, there is always a need of transporting tested and certified configurations across systems. Of course, no one wants this to be a manual task of reconfiguring the system from the scratch as we move forward in the change management process from development system to test system to productive system. It takes a lot of effort in terms of time, energy and cost if at all we have to do so. And the situation becomes worse if there are adoption issues due to configuration parity between two systems where there is no easy way to compare two systems, navigate through the config issues and fix the problems at its root. Resulting in, as we all know – go-live delays, frustration, unanticipated additional costs leading to overall dissatisfaction.

 

One of SuccessFactors' biggest competitive advantages is that we offer tremendous flexibility to our customers while configuring their systems in order to meet the business needs. However, that comes with a cost which is complex systems and dependencies. With a better way to understand the configurations available within the system, troubleshooting issues could be much easier, faster and accurate.

 

We realize that...
