SAP will sell OpenText's end-to-end HR document management system as part of its SuccessFactors suite, claiming it will enable businesses to take control of their employee management and boost HR efficiency and productivity by centralising all resources.
SAP SuccessFactors Extended ECM will hep businesses keep all their documents and other resources in one place, digitise existing documents, create new ones, as well as storing, managing and accessing older documents when they need to.
The platform includes a search facility to help HR staff find the documents they need on demand. Additionally, it also offers the creation of new documents such as contracts using templates, speeding up the onboarding process.
“More than any other department, HR professionals are responsible for a vast amount of information which is pivotal to the organisation,” said Adam Howatson, chief marketing officer at OpenText.
“Helping companies manage their essential employee records through a single, cloud-based source is a significant step for companies wanting to more effectively manage an increasingly global, digital workforce. SAP SuccessFactors Extended ECM by OpenText offers HR professionals a solution uniquely designed to help reduce the time and complexity associated with document management.”
Anyone needing access to employee documents, including the HR department, managers and the employees themselves can use SAP SuccessFactors Extended ECM to access documents on demand, with managers alerted if employees haven't completed the relevant documentation within the stated deadline, SAP said.
"HR digital transformation is about removing the many manual tasks that are tedious and complicated, and that expose the organisation to security and compliance risks,” added Yvette Cameron, senior vice president of Strategy at SAP SuccessFactors.
"As workforces expand and businesses become increasingly global, HR cannot afford to spend hundreds of hours each year manually storing, managing and retrieving employee documents. With SAP SuccessFactors Extended ECM, we are fulfilling our commitment to helping our customers achieve efficiency and accuracy as they operate on a global scale."
