There has been a paradigm shift in the expectations and requirements of HR departments across the globe. HR processes and systems continue to evolve with time, accompanied with a change in enterprise approach towards improving employee experience at the workplace. Next-generation technologies have not just made the resources available to employees, but also made these resources more easily accessible and usable. These technologies have aided in breaking down the silos in which HR processes generally operate. Moreover, this growing need to provide an integrated platform globally, for a better employee experience, has paved the way for the adoption of unified, end-to-end Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms such as SuccessFactors, Workday, and Oracle HCM. SuccessFactors’ distinctive features, such as its intuitive consumer-style experience and built-in decision support system, have helped it position itself distinctively in the market.
