As a first step in its digital transformation journey, BSF will implement the full suite of SAP® SuccessFactors® solutions, beginning with the SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central, SAP SuccessFactors Performance & Goals and SAP SuccessFactors Learning solutions. SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Payroll, SAP SuccessFactors Compensation and SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central Global Benefits solutions then will go live with SAP S/4HANA® Cloud, public edition. The SAP SuccessFactors solutions implementation is being done in conjunction with HR Path, a global implementation and reselling partner specializing in SAP SuccessFactors solutions and human experience management solutions from SAP.
BSF also is using software from MakeShift. Running on SAP Business Technology Platform, MakeShift software helps to optimize scheduling and time management to ensure efficient operations.
