The goal of the project was to automate a full suite of HCM processes using the SAP SuccessFactors technology platform , including Employee Central as its core HR system-of record , Payroll 123 ( a thirdparty payroll solution that HRIZONS provides in the Caribbean ), Performance and Goals , Recruitment , Compensation , Learning Management and Succession Planning .
UTC was transforming itself and making bold moves to get the organization much higher on the maturity curve by moving from paper-based documents and spreadsheets to a fully automated and integrated HCM platform in the cloud .
This involved significant review and updates to its processes , as well as clear communication regarding the processes and capabilities of SAP SuccessFactors .
The HRIZONS team partnered with a lean core client team to implement eight modules within 18 months , with UTC subject matter experts often working on multiple modules at the same time .
HRIZONS consultants were highly flexible in adjusting initial configuration settings and optimizing solution design to ensure that each module fully met UTC ’ s business and organizational requirements .
HRIZONS project management expertise and deep product knowledge with Employee Central facilitated the successful integration of Employee Central to Payroll 123 , its new cloud-based payroll solution .
The HRIZONS project manager had built a strong alliance with the payroll vendor and helped in part by offering services in English / Spanish and being able to co-ordinate communications internally with the vendor team in Spanish while also managing the client-vendor communications in English .
The resulting partnership has led to an evolving solution to integrate Employee Central and payroll .
