Talent Modules Implementation withouth EC

[mfpabon]

Hi Everyone,

I have a new client who is considering moving from their legacy HRIS System to Successfactors and they wouldl like to consider the below two escenarios:

1. Implementing talent modules with EC (I don't think it maybe any issue)

2. Implementing talent moduls without EC

But for this esceario I have been looking there are some challengues as some functionalities are not going to be available even if the client implement the EC mini master.

according to the kba 3340964 - Onboarding and EC Mini Limitations (sap.com)

• EC should not be used for core HR, like hire transfer promotions etc.. For all these events the data comes from the customers core HR systems. My understand is we can not use ONB 2.0 to transfer the information to Employee profile directly, is that understanding correct?
• Crossboarding and Offboarding are not supported with mini EC.
• No Manager or Employee Self Service. Neither for functionalities that only applies for employee profile?
• Position Management should NOT be used in EC.  
• My question is Succession Management we can nominated people through MDF Position nomination method without EC, so those it mean I cannot use the integration with RCM because recruitment will not have access to this position object.
• Can we have something similar in RCM to manage the position hierarchy?
• Comp. calculations should also not be used. My question is what does it mean calculations shoudl also not be used, what calculations? calculations that involves EC fields for  compensation plan?
• The EC functions are read only from the UI.

Any other considerations?

Looking forward to your response

Here are my two cents about your question in regards to Compensation (Comp calculation cannot be used). I believe the document is referring to the setup of the Comp Information portlet of EC which can sometimes have calculations (business rules) in it.

Adding a perspective from Integrations and cross the Talent Modules integrations like LMS, there will be few things to consider. If you don't implement EC - will the legacy HRIS be able to perform the ESS and MSS actions, what about integrations between HRIS to SuccessFactors, what kind of approach will be followed for the roll-out - is it going to be used in Single country or globally? Integrations is definitely another important component which should be closely evaluated is the route is Scenario 2.. For Scenario 1 there will be definitely an effort for Data Migration, which will need to be considered and this will be across the modules if you want to keep the historical information. Hope this helps!
