SAP SuccessFactors (HXM): Employee Central as the HR core and integration via SAP CPI
We implement SAP SuccessFactors to move your people management to the cloud with Employee Central as the single source of truth, and we integrate the ecosystem via SAP CPI so HR data flows without double data entry. We did it for Mohawk in a multi-country setting (US, Mexico and Brazil). Configuration and code documented and 100% yours.
SAP SuccessFactors is SAP’s cloud HR suite (HXM, Human Experience Management), and Employee Central is its core: the master system for personnel data, organizational structure, positions and employee lifecycle events.
We implement Employee Central as the single source of truth for your workforce and connect the rest of the ecosystem through SAP CPI (Cloud Integration): payroll, ERP, identity directory and other systems stop capturing data separately and sync from a single origin. Multi-country integration is where a project is won or lost, and it is exactly what we executed for Mohawk: SuccessFactors Employee Central with integration via SAP CPI in a setting with presence in the United States, Mexico and Brazil. We are a software factory founded in 2018 (Monterrey + Texas, CMMI Level 2) and a partner within the SAP ecosystem: we are not SAP, we are the ones who configure, integrate and hand you documented configuration and integration flows that are 100% yours.

When you need it
What it includes
Employee Central
Configuration of the HR core: personnel data, organizational structure, positions, time off and employee lifecycle events as the single source of truth.
Multi-country data model
Configuration of country-specific fields, structures and business rules per country (as we did in Mohawk’s multi-country setting: US, Mexico and Brazil), without losing global consistency.
Integration via SAP CPI
Integration flows (iFlows) on SAP Cloud Integration between Employee Central and payroll, ERP, identity directory and external systems, with error handling and monitoring.
Integration Center and APIs
Lightweight integrations with Integration Center and data consumption via OData / SFAPI for reporting, extractions and connectors to systems that do not need a full iFlow.
Personnel data migration
Mapping, cleanup and load of employee data from the legacy HR system, with templates, validation and reconciliation reports prior to go-live.
Onboarding and lifecycle
Standardization of the hire, change and termination processes, with consistent, traceable flows across the countries in scope.
Permissions and security (RBP)
Configuration of the Role-Based Permissions model to control what each HR and business profile can see and do.
QA and documented handoff with ARIA
Functional and integration testing backed by our internal ARIA platform, with documented configuration and integration flows that are 100% yours.
How we work
Discovery and scope
We map your HR processes and the systems landscape (payroll, ERP, identities) per country, define scope, team and work plan and set up the environment.
EC and integration design
We design the Employee Central data model, the per-country rules and the SAP CPI integration architecture, validated with your HR and IT teams before building.
Configuration and build
We configure Employee Central, build the iFlows on CPI and Integration Center and apply the permissions model, in sprints with continuous demos and validations.
Migration and testing
We migrate personnel data with validation, run functional, integration and user-acceptance tests and reconcile before go-live.
Go-live and support
Cutover plan, controlled launch, per-role training and post-go-live hypercare, with the option to continue under AMS support. Deliverable: configuration, iFlows and documentation that are 100% yours.
Tech stack
The tools and platforms we build it with — chosen for your problem, not for hype.
Frequently asked questions
What is Employee Central and why is it the core?
Employee Central is the core module of SuccessFactors: the master system for personnel data, organizational structure, positions and employee lifecycle events. It is the core because it becomes the single source of truth: the rest of the HR modules and integrated systems (payroll, ERP, identities) consume its data instead of keeping separate copies, which eliminates double data entry and inconsistencies.
What is SAP CPI for in a SuccessFactors implementation?
SAP CPI (Cloud Integration) is the integration platform that connects SuccessFactors with the rest of your ecosystem: payroll, SAP S/4HANA or ECC, identity directories and external systems. We build integration flows (iFlows) with error handling and monitoring, instead of fragile scripts, so personnel data flows reliably and remains maintainable. It is exactly the kind of integration we executed for Mohawk via SAP CPI.
Can you handle multi-country implementations?
Yes. We did it for Mohawk in a setting with presence in the United States, Mexico and Brazil, with SuccessFactors Employee Central integrated via SAP CPI. We configure the country-specific fields, structures and business rules without losing the global consistency of the data model, which is where multi-country projects usually fail.
Can you migrate from our current HR system?
Yes. We map, clean and load employee data from your legacy HR system with templates and validation, and we deliver reconciliation reports prior to go-live so you do not migrate incorrect data. Clean personnel data migration is one of the critical success factors of an Employee Central implementation.
Do we own the configuration and integration flows?
Yes, 100%. All Employee Central configuration, CPI iFlows, integrations and documentation are delivered and are your property, with no vendor lock-in. We are a partner within the SAP ecosystem: the system and the flows live inside your environment, maintainable by any competent team.
