Overview

This document describes the standard datasource integrations with SAP SuccessFactors. SAP serves as a source for skills-data to TechWolf. This guide will walk you through deploying the SAP SuccessFactors integrations, configuring the required settings, and ensuring smooth data transfer for skill inference.

​

Integration Overview

SAP SuccessFactors is a cloud-based human capital management (HCM) suite to address all your HR needs – core HR and payroll, talent management, HR analytics, workforce planning, and more. An enterprise’s SAP SuccessFactors environment typically contains all HR-related data, including employee information, job roles, learning history, and more. Given the relevance of employee and job data for skill inference, we have developed integration solutions that connects SAP SuccessFactors to the TechWolf SkillEngine. These integrations extract the required employee data and job data from SAP SuccessFactors via the report center and/or integration center and feeds it into the SkillEngine for skill inference. The inferred skills can be used within the TechWolf SkillEngine API or synced back into SAP SuccessFactors to enrich employee and job profiles with inferred skill data.

​

Functional Objective

The datasource integration between SAP SuccessFactors and TechWolf is designed to extract employee data and job data from SAP SuccessFactors to provide TechWolf with valuable and relevant data to infer qualitative skill profiles for employees and jobs.

Key benefits:

• Seamless integration of SAP SuccessFactors data into TechWolf with minimal configuration, enabling effortless data transfer.

​

Data Flow

All integrations are one-way data flows from SAP SuccessFactors to TechWolf. They include the following information:

​

Employees

• Employee information: This information is required to be able to identify employees in the TechWolf SkillEngine API and to link all relevant information to the correct employee.
• Job history information: By loading the job history of employees into TechWolf, the skills they acquired during their career can be inferred.
• Learning information: The learning history of employees can be used to infer the skills that employees acquired by following courses or trainings.
• Education history: The formal education of employees is a strong indicator of the skills they possess when starting their career.

​

Jobs

• Job family information: This information is required to be able to load the job families present in SAP into the TechWolf SkillEngine API.
• Job role information: This files allows loading the job roles present in SAP into the TechWolf SkillEngine API as job entities.
• Job profile information: This file contains information about job profiles present in SAP. These job profiles can be linked to their corresponding job roles and contain additional information that is useful for inferring skills.
