LAS VEGAS, Sept. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced that it is building an open community of
purpose-built and easy-to-consume applications designed to tackle
the most critical people issues facing human resources (HR)
professionals and business leaders today. With this community
approach, the company and its SAP SuccessFactors division is
bringing together organizations of all sizes, from enterprises to
startups, to co-create "simple solutions to big problems."
"Today, we are seeing unprecedented levels of innovation in HR
technology," SAP SuccessFactors President Greg Tomb said. "The old ways of working are no
longer relevant for HR or for employees. We are in the midst of a
'human revolution' that requires organizations to invest and
intently focus on the people who differentiate their businesses and
drive business outcomes. With this community, we can help assemble
a complementary set of solutions for our customers' diverse needs.
And, if they don't exist yet, we can co-create them together."
Building upon the success of SAP® App Center, this new community
consists of partners organized around six initial pillars:
well-being, pay equity, real-time feedback, unbiased recruiting,
predictive performance and internal mobility. It will offer current
and prospective SAP SuccessFactors customers a curated set of
solutions to augment their existing systems and tap into the latest
sources of innovation faster than ever.
SAP will continue to expand its network of partners and pillars
in the coming quarters to cover all aspects of the employee
journey.
As an example, the SAP SuccessFactors organization is working
together with Thrive Global to operationalize a culture of
well-being and improve the employee experience overall. As with
SAP, Thrive Global believes that to inspire peak performance in
employees and companies, it is critical to focus on the human
element. Together with SAP SuccessFactors® solutions and Thrive
Global, organizations can truly offer a comprehensive well-being
strategy for their employees.
Additional partners comprising this new community are focused on
providing solutions to other critical people issues, including:
- Helping employees dial down financial stress with Best Money
Moves
- Ensuring employees are paid equitably with PayScale
- Developing next-generation leaders with AI-powered coaching
from Cultivate
- Providing insightful feedback to enhance employee engagement
with Culture Amp
- Achieving diversity goals with Blendoor
- Eliminating recruiting bias with the Brilliant Hire
solution by SAP employees in SAP.iO Venture Studio
- Hiring, growing and retaining top talent using AI to build a
deep talent database with Plum
- Hiring internal, external and contingent talent more
effectively with AI from HiredScore
- Mobilizing the workforce to cover understaffing with

SAP also offers an open platform and tools to help developers
and entrepreneurs create the next generation of innovative HR
solutions. In October, SAP will launch a new SAP.iO Foundry in
San Francisco, where the SAP
SuccessFactors organization will provide support to select startups
with access to curated mentorship, exposure to SAP technology and
APIs, and opportunities to collaborate with SAP enterprise
customers. Additionally, through SAP.iO Venture Studio, SAP helps
its internal talent build successful businesses that enable
customers to solve big problems. Together, this community will help
address a wide range of people issues using emerging technologies
such as machine learning and the Internet of Things.
