SAP SuccessFactors Talent Management Implementation for Global Organizations

We implement SuccessFactors talent modules — from Recruiting to Compensation — using our proven JRNY methodology, helping global organizations align talent strategy with business goals.

SAP SuccessFactors is the world’s leading HCM suite, renowned for its comprehensive talent management capabilities — including Recruiting, Learning Management System (LMS), Performance Management, and Compensation Management. These modules are designed to enhance the overall employee experience and align talent strategies with organizational goals.

Implementing SuccessFactors talent modules enables global organizations to streamline essential HR processes, improve efficiency, and build a more agile workforce. This implementation empowers managers and employees, supports data-driven decision-making, and leverages advanced AI capabilities to optimize talent management at every level.

As one of SuccessFactors’ earliest partners — a relationship dating back to 2008 — AKT has extensive experience delivering solutions across the full range of talent modules. With hundreds of successful projects and a dedicated team of over 200 SuccessFactors consultants, we are well-equipped to address a wide variety of business needs and challenges across industries and geographies.

Efficient Delivery Model

AKT’s delivery model is designed for efficiency, combining on-shore, near-shore, and off-shore resources with advanced AI-powered tooling. This hybrid approach gives us the flexibility to support a broad spectrum of engagements — from complex global rollouts to rapid deployments using Ready2Run, our pre-configured SuccessFactors package designed to accelerate time-to-value. We also offer flexible commercial models tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each client, ensuring our solutions are both effective and aligned with your business objectives.

 

Integration with the Skills-Based Organization (SBO) Approach

Our implementation services are designed to integrate seamlessly with the Skills-Based Organization (SBO) approach — a framework that places skills at the center of talent strategy, connecting workforce planning, development, and performance to your organization’s strategic priorities. By aligning the various SuccessFactors talent modules within this broader framework, we help organizations build a coherent, end-to-end talent management solution that delivers meaningful impact across the HR landscape.

 

JRNY: Our Unique Implementation Methodology

JRNY (pronounced “Journey”) is AKT’s end-to-end methodology for SAP SuccessFactors implementations, covering all phases before and after go-live. Our approach is structured, intuitive, and flexible, built around four key components:

 

 

Key Principles of JRNY

  • Business Goals Oriented: We begin by clearly defining your business objectives, ensuring that every activity and milestone drives tangible outcomes. This keeps SuccessFactors configurations aligned with both day-to-day operations and long-term strategic needs.
  • Based on Best Practices: JRNY draws on SAP standard processes and proven best practices, including SuccessFactors global HR models and Architectural Leading Practices (ALPs). This focus minimizes unnecessary customizations, promoting system stability, easier upgrades, and simplified ongoing maintenance.
  • Accelerators Driven: Our methodology incorporates predefined tools, templates, and accelerators developed through extensive project experience. These resources streamline delivery, improve consistency, and reduce rework — enabling us to achieve quality outcomes more efficiently.
  • Focus on Adoption: We prioritize user readiness from the outset, initiating change management early and sustaining momentum throughout the project. This includes communication planning, stakeholder engagement, and role-based training to ensure a smooth transition and faster realization of post-implementation benefits.

 

Infinite Improvement Loop

At the heart of our methodology is the concept of continuous improvement. We partner with clients over the long term to evolve their systems, respond to changing business needs, and maximize the value derived from their SuccessFactors investment. This commitment to ongoing growth — rather than a fixed endpoint — is the essence of what we mean by JRNY.
